I heard from nurses that women who have said they take this oil poop while delivering their babys. I personally would not take it.

DO NOT take castor oil, i did take it and i was already to go into labor though, so it did work BUT it was horrific! Bad diarrhea, horrible contractions, i did not enjoy my labor.i depised it, and have now been traumatized every time i have a bathroom problem i have flash backs! Lol it sounds crazy but it is not with it! And i was throwing up as well! Insane!

My Dr told me the best things to do is sex obviously but he said do nipple stimulation, but you have to do it three times a day for an hour each time and it gets your cervix ready and will start your contractions

Just like what the other ladies said, if baby isn't ready there is no use... There's a reason doctors don't recommend it these days..... If you hear a success story then they took it when their baby was ready to come and it was a coincidence ... But I took it and I **** and puked everywhere and still had no baby it was horrible and my moms friend took it to help her labor go faster and she literally projectile pooped all over the delivery room, doctor and nurse ..... Talk about embarrassing

my ob actually recommended for me to take it if I wanted to. She said take a little and mix it in orange juice. I didn't take it tho. I'm kinda afraid to do it.

I wouldn't baby will come when it's ready. All it will probably do is make you sick. Enjoy your time while you have it.

I would not take it you will poop all day and have no baby if baby is not ready. If baby is ready he or she will come. This can be dangerous to the baby. I have not try but seen woman that have and have had no baby. Other say it works ask your doctor..
