I used it with my last pregnancy. It worked like a charm for me. I took it at 7 in the morning the contrax started around 12 and were not very timeable. I stayed home took a nap made a nice dinner went to the hospital and was indeed in labor. I had my baby 3 hours after going in and my labor wasn't as bad as my first 2 and I didn't poop myself popular to some peoples beliefs. I made a orange shake with it because the taste of the oil never leaves your mouth.
My friend does it everytime and she has 3, I tried it and kept having the runs....so it didnt work for me, but sex does always from the back ! (4me) good luck!
I used a few ice cubes, vanilla ice cream, and Orange juice...blended it and added 2 tbsp of the castor oil. Are you suppose to do it a certain way @SOSmommy ?
Idk if I would do it that way again. I guess it all depends on how much u use cause its a lot to take with the castor oil so u can't just chug it. U have to drink it slow.
Yeah, I can't bring myself to do it unless I reach my due date with no labor in sight. I'm too nervous about explosive diarrhea. But please let us know if it works for you!!!!
I used about 2 tbsp and drank it with water (honestly didn't taste it but most people say it tastes horrible) I went to bed immediately @midnight. I woke up 4 hours later with HORRIBLE gas pain and cleared my intestines (Tmi) immediately contractions started. The contractions were easier for me than the gas pain. I stayed up and walked around woke my husband and doulas around 7-8 and had a baby slightly after noon. Labor was about 8 hours start to finish. Also I never fell into a "regular" labor pattern. The only way we knew it was time to go to the hospital was I wondered why I had decided against the epidural (I was in transition so it would have been too late to get one anyway) I will note I was 11 days past my due date. We only used it to prevent a pitocin induction. And there was no meconium in my water
I did it at 39 weeks with my first pregnancy. I had diarrhea all day, then contractions for a few hours so I went to the hospital and they stopped. I had my son a week later after my membranes were stripped
@a_wagner Sometimes it takes over a little over 24 hrs to work so it could still happen. Keep us updated if anything happens. Did it upset your stomach?
@a_wagner, well atleast you had no negative side effects, either! Sorry it didn't work, I was rooting for you.
@robertzwifey14 I just started drinking it a few days ago. It's not supposed to necessarily start labor, but prepare your uterus. It kinda taste like potpourri to me. lol
Castor oil cleans your bowels out, so it may cause intestinal cramping. Intestinal cramping confuses your uterus into thinking it's supposed to contract. Just like a bladder infection does. It may work for you, and is safe.
