I know everyone has their own opinions about castor oil, but I've been cramping and contracting since last Friday yesterday the doctor told me in in early labor and I've been having terrible period like cramps and back pain and I'm just constantly uncomfortable. have any of you ladies done the castor oil and if so did it do anything for labor I know it's supposed to clean me out I should say but does it really help progress labor? everyone is telling me i SHOULD do it but I'm still pondering on it.
