Castor Oil..have You Tried It? Posted: 08-09-06 10:10am
I am due aug. 25th, but last monday I had
to get an ultrasound done b/c the drs
thought he won't be able to fit through my
pelvic bone b/c it's tilted up, the
ultrasound pulled up an edd of august 10th
:) ...Now I know there not always right,
but my drs said that if I go into labor
after aug. 6th they would let it go, b/c
was 7 1/2 lbs on that day! On saturday I
went to the drs & my cervix is soft
& his head is where it's supposed to
be.. I was wondering, have any of you
lady's tried castor oil? My couison did
& it worked twice for her..I was going
to wait until after my appt. Tomorrow to
see what my drs. Say.. Any advice would
be nice! Thanks

I tried it on a friday and then again on a
saturday. It did nothing to me, didn't
make me poop or nothing-lol
i went into labour the monday and had my
son by c-sec tuesday night. Don't know
if the castor oil helped bring on labour,
but I don't think so.

I tried that with my son and all it did
was make me poop. I thinks it just a
myth.
I tried it with both my pregnancies.......
I was desperate lol. It didn't work :(

I never tried it, but as for the long
labor, and c-section, I don't imagine that
they would let you suffer for too long,
but what did the ultrasound show, do they
think that you will be able to have the
little bugger. I wasn't able to have my
son normally, because of that reason, but
they never did an ultrasound to find out
either, I was already in the middle of
labor when they found out, haha!
