I did it with my last pregnancy when I was 38 weeks and took it mixed with oj and it was the most nastiest thing ever i had to take it twice since the first one made me throw up 5min after taking it and did not have effect on me but good contractions later that night and went into labor the night morning..

I took castor oil a few times during my last pregnancy. Did it about 3 times with nothing happening other than diarrhea. I figured I'd give it one last shot...  woke up in the middle of the night with horrible diarrhea, went back to sleep and my water broke as soon as I woke up. I was 38ish weeks.

Why 34 weeks? My mom had me with castor oil. She was 41 weeks. She took it and within an hour she had me. She said it was the worst labor of all 5 kids, she didn't have enough time for an epi and She had diarrhea and puked the entire time. Although she only pushed for about 10 mins. Lol i was gonna try it but was scared haha.

Why did you do it at 34? I started at 38 for this pregnancy but at 39 for my daughter

I think it depends on how far along you are. I did it with my first pregnancy at 34 weeks and i was in the hospital that night with contractions off the chart.. but i wasnt full term yet so they stopped my contractions. So yes it worked with me
