It might not work for some people and it might work for others. However castor oil has been used for many years. I took it with my daughter and I told my doctor. She even said there is no guarantee however its not bad to do. Just because it 'might' have caused problems for other woman doesn't mean it will to everybody. I took it at 39 weeks and had a healthy baby.
That's exactly what I said lol did u not read the post???? Its works for some but can be very harmful to others so why risk it??? Hmmm read the post before u comment
bump...
its sad that some women know that it can cause complications and still do it. if I could post a picture after my baby was born BC I was greedy and decided I would take it I would post one. its heart breaking when women hear stories about it working for some women they try it.
^^ She clearly stated in her post that it "may" work for some, and it may not work for some! Reread posts before you make an *** of yourself haha xD
Omg please keep bumping this to the top
well I took it at 39 weeks and my baby was sick as hell we lived in the hospital for over a month and he will have life time complications from it. but I'm glad to hear it worked for u @flordiamommyof2
The MAY cause complications is exactly why I won't be trying it
Ive seen many posts about it and even thought about taking it at the end if my son doesn't wanna come. But my mother in law had the plant and over the summer I saw soooo many dead bugs under her plant (cause its poison) I decided it was better for my son and I too not take it
I took Castor oil and my baby pooped in me and she actually did get an infection because of it. She was supposed to be in the hospital for 7 days. But my breast milk helped fight the infection.
I'm so happy for all you momies that pulled thru it and baby came out safe thats such a blessing that's why I posted this because sometimes we don't know these things and I know there's girls on here that's like 10-20 weeks and night be thinking about it and don't know what it can do just like I didn't at first now I know thanks to my mom and Google and some of you ladies that shared your story so thank u all wish u a healthy and safe delivery everyone :)
I read all about it my first pregnancy and it scared the hec out of me it just dehydrated your body which means the baby to!
lmao can someone please explain to me wtf bump means..
Only thing I have heard is my coworker saying that she took it after she had her baby to clean her self out other than that being on here is the first I've heard of it.
Bump is just something we say to keep the post at the top of the list. I'm 21 weeks and had no idea castor oil could be harmful. Thanks for the warning!
I've spoken to enough doctors to know it doesn't cause the baby to poop. So don't scare women.
Well my doctor thinks it's okay for me to be extremely dehydrated, doesn't mean he's right though does it? Not all doctors are geniuses
Why would the doctor want women yo be extremely dehydrated when they tell u drink plenty of water then you'll be extremely tired when its time to push idk thanks for the info..;)
I have to ask, these women who are against taking castor oil, are you also against other means of self induction?... The reason castor oil can be thought of as "dangerous" is because it's a laxitive and it's purpose is to irritate your insides which stresses your body to cause contractions. Any time your body is under stress, if its significant enough it can put stress on the baby too causing baby to pass meconium into the amniotic sac... This is the same way almost all methods of self induction work though. Eating pineapple after pineapple is just as stressful to your body, as is walking, nipple stimulation, and sex. Stress on the body (and stress isn't always bad in this case) is what causes contractions. It doesn't make any one method of self induction more/less dangerous than another. The issue is different women react differently to stimuli, some women have no problem and some do, so do what you feel is right for your body.
Umm im npt trying to be rude but eating pineapple and having sex is way diffrent then putting something people dont normally injest in their body like castor oil
