I broke down and took castor oil this morning mamas.. Hopefully I'll be meeting my little man soon!
The backstory: I'm 38 weeks 6days and at my last appointment i wasn't effaced but was 1cm and soft. I have a cousin who used this method for both of her pregnancies and went into labor within a day. So I'm trying it so that hopefully I don't have to be medically induced at my next appointment.
How I did it: had about 10oz of green smoothie left over from yesterday so I poured out half of that and put in 4 teaspoons of castor oil, some OJ and half a banana. I blended it and it came out to about a cup.. I tried to drink it all at once through a straw but it was thick and gross so ended up drinking it over about 10 minutes.
I will keep you gals posted!!
@taylorrleee1, my doc okayed it. Its not a significant risk as long you follow the dosage instructions.
That's dangerous for the baby. It can cause your uterus to overcontract and put distress on the baby. That's why most doctors don't recommend it.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
It can make your baby have a bowel movement in the womb, very dangerous
