Believe me when I say, I completely understand the discomforts of pregnancy. My son was so low his head plugged my cervix shut so that when my water was broken hardly anything came out. He was like that for weeks before I went into labor. The entire pregnancy my placenta was as far back as it could possibly be, leading to excruciating pain during cervix checks and other complications. But also believe me when I say, regardless of the pain and discomforts of pregnancy, it is NOT okay to rush your baby out early. Trying to self induce at 35 weeks is very dangerous! If you think it's uncomfortable for you now just think of how uncomfortable your baby will be in the NICU away from you. Granted, all premature babies don't necessarily have to spend any time in the NICU, but the risk is greater the earlier that they are born. Pregnancy is 40 weeks for a reason, which is why most doctors don't even consider induction until 41 weeks unless there is a medical reason such as high bp or the baby is in some sort of distress. Another thing, Castor oil is not safe to use! I get that people have done it for years but there are several incidents reported about meconium aspiration which leads to neonatal respiratory distress.
