Breeitsaboy- totally understand! I've been in preterm labor for 3 weeks now. Agonizing labor pains, my son dropping, two hospital trips. I'm so fet up and ready to get this baby out! I'm scheduled to be induced in 12 days and want to go all natural before hand. And I've literally tried everything but the caster oil.

So.. I'm going to try this in just a few.. I will also keep you guys updated on if it works for me!

As for castor oil, I have tried it twice now. No, not kidding.. And here I am.. Still pregnant! Didn't even give me like diarrhea cramps or anything of the sort.. And that was with the highest recommended dose. My sister on the other hand.. She was in the hospital in labor within about 10 hours of taking her first dose (4 tbsp).

Yes, I'm guilty of being about to try the castor oil for a third time! I'm also going to do evening primrose oil vaginally, and drink the tea. If all of this together doesn't work, then my kid obviously ready.. No matter how ready and miserable his momma is!

I've tried pineapple and spicy food, I refuse to do castor oil because of the risks. I just haven't heard of the cinnamon tea. I'm willing to try anything. I'll be induced in 12 days if I don't have him before then and would prefer to go before then to avoid induction!
