castor oil

Have you tried it and had any good luck with it? I am thinking of trying it to help move things along today. Wondering what everyones experience is.

I tried it with my son and when I went into labor he pooped when my water broke and nicu nurses had to be on standby (it was a stressful situation that could have been avoided had I not taken caster oil). I won't be taking it with this one but the choice is yours. I took it with orange juice and had no cramps or diarrhea.

It doesn't work unless your body is already prepared for labor. Otherwise you just get terrible diarrhea

i normally take it after you have the baby to clean you out, form all the old junk you been eating, during pregnancy it could purge you.

My friend took it at 39 weeks, drank half the bottle with orange juice. Nothing happened but she did have bad diarria for a few days. She said never again lol. Everybody is different tho ive heard of it working :) I personally wouldnt take it, not worth the sore bum! :)
