That is not a safe thing to do please Google the risks or call your doctor or local L&D before trying

Not a good idea at all.

By using castor oil you can cause your baby to have a bowel movement while still inside and your baby can ingest it and cause breathing issues or death.  Don't think your babies life is worth it
