Castor oil success stories

edited September 2011 in Third Trimester
So the doc ripped my induction date right out of my hands. First I had to deal with my mom moving to kuwait before my due date. Then the doc got me all excited to finallyknow when my son was coming. Then today my doc denied my induction date.I'm beyond pissed and hurt. So I'm taking matters into my own hands. so I would like to hear any successful self induction stories please!

    Have you heard of clary sage oil. I heard some really good things about it.
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    @kingsmom no I haven't. Where can I find it and how do I take it? Lol
  • jennys3rdjennys3rd
    Samiuk has been using the clary sage oil... she is still pregnant and I think 5/6 days over!!
  • angie87angie87
    @jennys3rd ill tag you also and thank you labor dust to all of us ER sure need it
  • KingsmomKingsmom
    @_Kaykes I saw that gnc sells it. You can inhale it, put a few drops in your bath water, or soak cotton balls in the oil and put it under your pillow, AND lol you can rub it on your stomach.
    @jennys3rd I never saw anything on here I just googled it. :( I wonder how did she take it.
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    @kingsmom thats very interesting
  • jennys3rdjennys3rd
    @kingsmom I think she bathed in it. Not sure if she did anything else with it. I know she's tried long walks etc too but still no joy. I've been taking the raspberry leaf tea (maximum dose daily) for about a week... that's done sod all either :-< fed up xx
  • jennys3rdjennys3rd
    @samiuk :p just telling these ladies about the clary sage so thought I'd tag u. Also, update???
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    Unfortunately I'm still closed so will any of this work for me?
  • KingsmomKingsmom
    @_Kaykes From what I understand its supposed to make you have contractions, they advise you not to smell it if your not on your late 3rd trimester.
    But I'm sure @samiuk will know more since she used it already. I was going to try to wait a couple more days before I tried
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    @kingsmom hmmm. Im 38.1

    Bump
  • julesjules
    I forget but someone made a post on it few days ago she started and kept updating for two days and had her baby so just from her story sounds like its helpful.

    NOTHING WORKS lol currently 8 days overdue had a sweep and have tried: walking 2-3 miles a day, walking up down hills, walking one foot on curb one foot of, sex, bouncing on ball, sex whilst bouncing on the ball, hot spicy food, curries, running up and down stairs, nipple stimulation, driving up and down bumpy roads, hot baths, clary sage and pineapple

    and nothing!had sweep yesterday cervix is short and squidgy and like a fingertip dilated that is all though :(
  • SamiUKSamiUK
    Never tried castor oil btw lol couldn't do that,

    clary sage run a bath just before you get in it add 3 drops of clary sage to 10ml of milk then mix it into bath,

    or mix 3 drops with 15-20ml of carries oil (lavander/almond/olive oil) rub over bump or get someone to massage it into your ankle, midwife said that's a pretty successful way to get babies out mines just stubborn lol oh i tried pressure points to
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    I tried the castor oil and umm....ouch lol
  • havin_a_girlhavin_a_girl
    I did castor oil more than once. Didn't help me. I heard you have to be ready but I was already three cm and it still didn't help. Oh and when you do it do all four oz at once or else it won't do anything and then take a hot shower right after that is suppose to start things right away.

    I did the pressure points last night and ended up with regular contractions for about 3 hours, they would have kept going but I got so exhausted I stopped, but in another week I will be trying again. I looked it up on YouTube... Maybe try that and the castor oil to give it an extra boost
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
    @havin_a_girl. I did it a lil over 6 hours ago...is it too late to shower to get it started? So far I'm running to the bathroom and I have some cramping

  • havin_a_girlhavin_a_girl
    Its worth a try but if nothing yet then it probably won't work.:(
  • lae3lae3
    how far along are you.. well if its any consalation.. my dr told me that since i already went over with my last two i will likely go over with this one.. argh.. i mean i already new that.. but dang.. i didnt want to hear it.. so ive been walking alot.. an hour a day.. and also im going to start doing squats again.. im 36+3.. but im not trying to induce yet.. just trying to make progress so i dont have to go over ten days like i did with my last two.. preg.. 10days seems like an eternity when your pregnant..
  • _Kaykes_Kaykes
