castor oil?? (before i try)

[rtovar92]

Before trying it myself, have any of u ladies tried using the castor oil without being dilated or efaced and had any luck??? I'm 37 weeks today and Ive been in pain for the past weeks now! I hate it I can barely walk or even roll over in bed. I haven't been told if I've even dilated yet. So I'm kinda desperate to try it but I'm afraid to do so! Any suggestions??? HELP!!

I turned it into iced tea cause I hate warm tea hahaha. I had a small glass and it seemed to movethem closer together but still nothing noteworthy. I'm laying down now .. Still have back contractions but they're not terribly painful anymore (note: I was having back contractions before I drank it)

No just go get the Naked mango smoothie or Bolthouse Farms mango smoothie they have them at Walmart, HEB, Kroger, etc! :) it's worth a shot!!

I tried castor oil a week before my due date. I had diahorea ... Badly :/ I tried it on my due date i was violently sick and i tried it 2 weeks after my due date and i started contracting luke 3 hours later. In my experience i woupd say it only works if your bodys ready.

I'm only 1 cm dilated

Did u add anything to the smoothie?

With my second I wasn't dilating but at 38 weeks I started drinking naked Mango smoothies! It started me dilating

I think I might wait on the castor oil, ill find out Tuesday if I've dilated. I'm afraid of trying it without being somewhat dilated

My mom just brought it home and was like eat!!! Haha it sent her into labor with my sis and my bro!

[rtovar92]

Wow 43weeks I would've been desperate!! Lol but thats crazy I never heard of the whole shrimp thing!

[Ashdub07]

Not when I tried castor oil no

[rtovar92]

Were u ladies dilated when trying this or no?

Shrimp started my labor with my daughter. I was 43 weeks, dilated to like .5 lol ate some shrimp scampi and BOOM! Labor!

I talked to a bunch of people today and they said that it only caused them to vomit or have diarrhea... They suggested Raspberry tea instead :) So I'm going to try that tonight... I'm 38+5

[Ashdub07]

I tried all I got was volcanic diarrhea
