Took castor oil about 30mins ago - hope it works!!

how much u took?

Two tablespoons

do some squats and have alot of sex

does it matter what kind of castor oil?

@ericksonmadi, are you dilated or softened any?

No sex for me - I'm not with my baby's dad and don't plan on sleeping with anyone I know lol and I'll try squats, thanks!

@alicia3_18, I just used the generic kind

Not trying to be rude but why are you trying to go in labor early? I would at least wait until 38 weeks.

@sking092192, about a week ago I was at a 1. OB didn't say how effaced I was though

Nvm! Just noticed you said you were 38 weeks.

@ericksonmadi, ah okay, I know sometimes it will only work if you are somewhat soft or dilated

I am 38 weeks. I don't know why my profile says differently. I'm due on the 23

@cait.zaydensmommy,

@ericksonmadi let me know if it works so I can go buy some (;

@mammiede2, will do!!

gotta take more then 2 i took 4 and 2hrs later it was the start of baby time

I'm gonna wait a little longer before I take more

Good luck !!! I took castor oil and some cleaning and danced around the house lol. Had my son in the morning following day

I used that one also.. I took it after o got my membrane sweep tho and it worked for me I took two table spoons at around 1:50 and at 5pm my contractions started.

My OB won't sweep my membranes till I'm last due but I'm 38wks and measuring at 40wks. If baby girl keeps growing my fear is not being able to deliver her vaginally, this is my first baby and I'm a small person. I've brought these concerns up with my OB but she medically won't do anything until I'm last due 👎 @mrs.oliva

*past due

oh. no that sucks. 😕 when its ur first baby they have so many limitations.

I took castor oil for two days and I went into labor the second night! I hope it works for you

Thanks everyone!

@ericksonmadi, Any luck yet? I'm following your experience lol!

@sking092192, I might be having contractions but I'm not sure. My whole stomach will get rock hard and it looks like it's standing away from my body lol. Don't know if it's a contraction because it doesn't hurt and I've always been told contractions hurt.

@ericksonmadi, it sounds like braxton hicks

@sking092192, Ugh 😒

@sking092192, I've been to L&D before and was having actual contractions (based on the moniter) and even the nurses were surprised because I said I didn't feel anything. One nurse rushed in and asked like how I was feeling and if I was in pain, I said no and that's when she told me is been having contractions. So that's another reason I'm not 0 certain.

*100 percent

@ericksonmadi, Labor is a horrid thing lol it needs a manual

@sking092192, Agreed!

Did the oil work for you ?

No 👎
