It'll give you diarrhea. Have fun with
that.
The cramping from the diarrhea *might*
bring on labor, but only if your body is
already ready for labor. Try sex instead.
It has about as much chance as castor oil
of working, and it's more fun than sitting
on the toilet all night.
i wouldnt recommend castor oil unless you
like having diarhea.

Yea, sex made me go into labor at 37
weeks. I wasn't ready...But I guess she
was.
There's a hormone in semen that is almost
identical to oxytocin, which is the
hormone your brain produces to start
contractions. The hospitals have a drug
"pitocin" which also mimics it.
Have sex, not the squirts!!

Even if it *did* end up working...
I would be incredibly' miserable if I were
having diarrhea while I was in labor.
Ugh.

This is an old wives tale. The fact of
the matter is, labor starts when the baby
is ready and not before.
You can try walking, spicy food, sex,
nipple stimulation, castor oil, etc. And
if you do go into labor, you might think
it was because of something you tried -
like, say, the sex. But it would be sheer
coincidence. Your body will only go into
labor when certain hormones are produced.
Hormones that are created by the baby.
I know the end is hard. Try to get some
rest and unplug that darn phone so people
will quit calling to remind you that you
haven't had the baby yet.
This is why it is called an estimated due
date and not an actual due date.
