I have heard it gives you really bad diahrea. And isnt all that healthy for the baby. But ive never done it!

castor oil can actually be dangerous.. it can cause the baby to have a bowel movement inside & cause a lot of problems if ingested.

castor oil really just irritates your bowels, which could bring on labor/contractions, but that's not something you really want to have going on while giving birth.. I wouldn't recommend anyone taking that stuff.

try talking to your OB about safe things you can do to help bring on labor IF he/she feels your baby is ready.. good luck!! (((:

If your body is ready it apparently does. It's a natural laxetive so make sure you stay hydrated otherwise the baby can go into distress.
