Does the castor oil work

[MalloryT]

Im beyond tired and 3 weeks ago my baby was 6lbs5oz...im now 36+6 and I go to the dr tomorrow..my hip gives out on me and sleep what is that,leg cramps and back aches..I have dilated to 1cm and cervix is soft that was 3weeks ago...I have been having the braxton hicks and sharp pains in my pelvic area and they hurt...have you ladies tried the castor oil and if so what does it do and how does it make you feel?

I'm being induced at 36 weeks due to a big baby as I have gestational diabetes and I have all them symptoms too they can induce b4 38 weeks but I wouldn't reccomend as it's added stress I'm constantly worried my lil boy won't be fully developed :( xx
