I've had 3 of my friends have major complications because the castor oil obviously makes you poop but it can affect the baby and cause the baby to poop in the amniotic sac and swallow it causing very bad infections.... If you wanna risk that then that's your choice but 3 of my friends that had babies in the last year and used castor oil had that happen and yes babies can poop and swallow it regardless but the castor oil makes it more likely than primrose or just waiting for when your baby is ready

Castor oil is a bad choice to use it can cause serious complications and damage to you and your baby. Look into evening Primrose oil gel capsule pills some doctors actually will recommend you the primrose but no doctor will ever recommend castor oil.
