Any suggestions on Castor Oil. ?
I'm 40 weeks & really want my son out cuz my body can't handle it anymore .
Does it work ??
I've heard bad things from experienced mommies... Try an exercise ball to relieve pain and pressure, or sex like everyone else says. Good luck and hang in there.
Trust me I feel your pain. I went to 41+1 with my first. Just keep in mind that weight predictions before birth by measurement or ultrasound can be up to 20% off, meaning what they estimate to be 9 lbs could actually be 7.2 lbs (which was the case for my SIL). There's other ways to try--walking, sexual intercourse (have him finish inside you), etc. definitely try those methods but I would really encourage you to avoid castor oil.
Hang in there sweetie !!! Don't take Castor oil supper dangerous for the baby!! Try raspberry leaf tea ? Or sex or dancing lots
Oh goodness girl ! I can only imagine how miserable you are :( maybe trying some other things will help , castor oil is just so iffy when people first started doing it nobody really knew the risk associated but now even your dr should tell you it's possibly dangerous
I honestly don't blame you, I was ready to give birth too. But I just don't care for the castor oil method. Maybe tons of walking and spicy foods! and bouncing on a yoga ball!
I don't blame you. You can also try nipple stimulation, orgasms can help you contract, semen can help soften the cervix. There are a few things to try. I know you're anxious. Castor oil causes bowel irritation which causes bowel movements which may or may not help with uterine contractions. The risk, however, is that your baby will have a bowel movement in utero and swallow the meconium. The infection that comes with that has killed babies. It isn't worth the risk.
My sons over 9 pounds already that's why I'm thinking of different things to try @emijaid15 @dontberidiculous @brandylemonds15 @kmally @their.bomb.ass.mom
Could cause your baby to have a bowl movement and either hurt their lungs or kill them. But my stepsister did it and it worked. I wouldn't try it
it didn't work for me, and it's different for everyone. worked for my friend, but she ended up dehydrated and with a c-section. There's a lot of risks that come with it, and I didn't really know it at the time, I wouldn't risk it again.
Castor oil can have horrible effects and can be very dangerous for your LO. I strongly suggest that you do not try that method. Hang in there. You're almost done. Try walking, sex, ball bouncing, dancing etc....
It can be dangerous for you and baby , it can cause baby to have his/her first poop while still in the womb and that can cause baby's heart to stop if ingested, one of my friends almost lost her son because she took the Castro oil . I don't want to scare you sweetie but I'd just stay away
Im 38 weeks & Im all belly, & my sides been killing me. Its like the baby has no more room. & Im trying to get my son out as well bc i cant take this pain anymore...
Thank you guys , ugh -.- @kmally @mommytobe03.31 @brandylemonds15 @their.bomb.ass.mom @dontberidiculous
