  Bump I'm not sure about it either. My question is if it causes mom to poo her brains out can't it cause baby to produce feces in the womb??

  It didn't work for me. I tried this on Tuesday n I'm due tomorrow. I was on the toilet every other hour for almost 12 hrs. I did get braxton Hicks, but that's it. I think it would work if the conditions are right. My baby wasn't dropped, i wasnt dialated at all n was only 50% thinned. I think thats y it didn't work. If you're gonna try it, here's what I did: I took an empty bottle n mixed 2oz oil with 8oz orange juice. Shake it up good n chug real quick before it seperates. Then drink plenty of fluids throughout the next few hours to make sure you're hydrated

  I drank it with my first. 2oz mixed with oj. I only had to drink one dose...was one the toilet within 1-2 hours for half the night. I did go in labor the next day. My son did have his first bowel movement in the womb, however, I don't know if it was from the castor oil or because he was late.

  I tried it. Figured it would have worked. I was dilated to 4cm n 80% effaced. I drank the 2oz of each. All it did was make me poop once. so I waited a few hrs and did it again. Got a couple contractions and pooped once more then nothing. I ended up being induced at 39wks
