Everyone who was due around the same time as me or even AFTER me is giving birth and I'm over here like.... Yeah still pregnant.... My sweet boy can take his time, but I certainly can't wait to meet him and kiss his face!!
I won't be trying castor oil but my OB said its fine to take he told me just a tea spoon or so and to mix it in my eggs and not to drink it by itself or else I'll get the runs lol
it is a laxative but it passes through to the baby and can cause the baby to poop inside the mom and inhale the poop fluid upon first breath and get pneumonia and all kinds of other problems..
@motherlotus, I guess it effects everyone differently. but I know it won't kill the baby. I've read it could just give you bad diarrhea at most and not send you into labor. I was really thinking about doing it. but my first option is lots of stairs and primrose oil.
@wttwot, @caddiebugg Castor Oil is very dangerous if not consumed properly and as ordered by a midwife/OB. I have heard a lot of horror stories about how bad that stuff is! I won't be taking it because I don't want to shit out my baby hahaha 😉
I don't believe that for a second. it's a laxative, not a poison. my friend did it with all 3 of her pregnancies and was perfectly fine. maybe that girl over did it. but it won't kill the baby, especially if you are so close to your due date.
I heard so many bad stories about that stuff. a girl on here drank it an it killed her baby. @wttwot
there was girl on here who did it an get baby passed away. I won't be be doing it. @motherlotus
