I took about 3 oz of castor oil... it was definitely worth it. my baby was a good 8lbs 11oz delivered 2days before my due date. probably would have went over my due date without it

yeahh really any store. I drunk just about the whole bottle and mixed it into a strawberry milkshake. took me about an hr to drink it.  I didn't believe that it would work but it definitely brought on the contractions and made me dilate more. I got to 6cm and had to have a c-section. due to me having a small pubic structure she was basically stuck in my birth canal. she was perfectly healthy Thank God. She's the perfect baby and worth every contraction and pain that I had to go through.
