Thank you for posting, I am a nursing student and whenever I see questions about castor oil, I get scared. Personal friend who lost her baby at 42w due to castor oil and know the medicine behind why it is bad for so many reasons. Please protect your babies. It is your job for the rest of their lives, start now.

@kelseys common sense isn't so common.

@badadvicemom lbvs it's common sense. Whatever we eat/drink also goes to the baby. There's a reason pregnant women can only take certain medications. If this is going to do something to you, it's also going to do it to your baby

@kelseys I try to give my input (someone who used to be on here actually lost their child as well doing this) and I just get told "well I've never heard of that." Oh, ok...

@mrshammond17 @badadvicemom yes. Whatever you guys find helpful I have no problem with y'all sharing

@magickal_mama1418 I see it asked almost daily on her. A friend of a friend said it or they googled "ways to induce labor" and it pops up. And Google is always right....

Thank you for sharing because I see too many women getting told to do castor oil to start there labor especially on this app

No shit... I'm sorry this happened to whoever it was but good god, why would anyone ever think that's a good idea?

Can I re post this?

Can I please save this for the next time someone decides to ask about it?
