Im 39 weeks and going to be induced on Sunday And its friday today. But i want to have her over the weekend so my family can be there for me. But I'm really scared if it will harm my baby or put her in stress. Please want should I do? Is it safe?

I won't recommend that at all.. When I was pregnant with my daughter it was a tea that I had. It helped me go into labor

Try really spicy foods or even yoga and meditation. Just dont try castor oil! Please!

I drink castor oil and it made my baby come within 5 hours BUT It made me poop a lot in the labor room but the doctor gave me a pill to stop it after MY epidural and I was 39 weeks

Drinking castor oil can cause your baby to have a bowel movement while being in the womb and cause cause breathing issues for your baby. I think drinking it is irresponsible

If you were 40 weeks and 1 day I still wouldn't advise you to drink castor oil. Please don't!

Don't do it, not worth the risk

What kind of tea??

[Bwade2010]

I know several woman who have tried castor oil during last week of pregnancy. All of them experienced extreme pain and contractions, but it never put them in labor. Also awful gas and diarrhea for 2-3 days. And it did cause stress on the baby for 2 of my friends and they had to be monitored in hospital for 24-48 hrs. I certainly wouldn't recommend.

I wouldn't recommend it but to each their own.
