Is this the one yall drink to induce??? I'm desperate

If you want to kill your baby, then yes.

Please don’t drink this to try and induce labour. It’s not safe. Women have lost their babies because of this.

👀

@tiffanyxbrooks I'm not drinking it now

If you can't handle being pregnant, don't get pregnant.

Don’t do it. Very dangerous but you’re also going to get the ones who say “I did it and my kids okay”. Don’t take the gamble. Go naturally or bounce on a ball or nipple stimulation or lots of sex.

Don’t put yourself and your baby at risk because you don’t wanna be pregnant anymore. Please don’t do it.

Yes it’s the one. And it’s fine to take, I wish everyone would stop saying that it can kill your baby.

@shyia722, it can kill your baby that’s why people say it!!

@candacelashea, I’ve watched my friends adopted child die at 2 months old due to her cousin taking it. So yes, it rubs me the wrong way 100%.

@shyia722, It CAN kill your baby. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@shyia722, someone’s baby on here actually died because of using this. So yes, it CAN kill your baby...

@candacelashea I know that I was miserable during the last few weeks but I would never try to force my child out putting his life in danger. 🤦🏻🤷🏻

@theinkedmommy, god forbid you give someone a bit of tough love. 😏

@candacelashea, “I did it and my child was ok” doesn’t make it ok. Giving someone the green light to a potentially lethal situation is asinine.

@candacelashea I agree my friend just had her baby this week after drinking it and she was a week behind me plus I'm not saying ima drink it right now

Please highlight on the bottle that says please do not take if pregnant?! It DOES NOT CROSS INTO THE PLACENTA AT ALL!!!! Please stop tell ppl it’s going to be dangerous for there baby.

So because some babies are ok means you should try it. Some people survive being shot let’s all do that! Stupidest logic ever!

@candacelashea, I do have empathy, but not when it comes to castor oil. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@candacelashea You wrote Death isn't guaranteed...#1 death is guaranteed there's No coming back...Birth is a process we chose to go thru when your pregnant..labor comes when it's time not when we want.

Why the heck would you want to induce yourself. That is up to the doc.

@sarah.s he doesn't want to induce he wants to go straight and cut I'm healthy baby is healthy why cut when he can induce

Go ahead and live your life. Take the gamble. Either shit yourself for hours with no contractions, or hope for contractions and take the risk of baby having a BM in the womb and getting it into their lungs. Your choice and your babies life on the line..we can’t stop you! Goodluck. @shyia722, 🙏🏼

@candacelashea, You’re entitled to your opinion. 💕

Pregnancy is meant to last up until 42 weeks! I know the last weeks are hard but they’re well worth it. Most doctors I’ve seen don’t try to induce until 42 weeks unless there’s a medical emergency. Castor oil just isn’t worth the risk. And there *is* a risk. Even if there’s the tiniest chance, why risk it? Good luck the rest of your pregnancy! ❤️

@leahdeere thank u

@nakeily1112, As we have established don’t drink this. Baby can poop while in you and aspirate it causing problems. Instead try some more natural ways of induction like:

-getting your membranes stripped

-going to the chiropractor (I swear by these 2 I was in labor 24 hours after getting both done the same day)

-bouncing on a ball

-lots of walking

-sex

-nipple stimulation

-red raspberry leaf tea

-spicy food

Self inducing is fine when you are bouncing on a ball, take a walk, or have sex. You’re almost done just try to push through!

If you're not happy with the care you're getting from your doctor, find a new one. No one can force you into a c-section if you don't want it and it's not medically necessary

I know a baby that died because their mom took this. 😞

Personally would never use this and chance my baby dying from pooping in utero ans inhaling it. Its not recommed by any dr or midwife in any practice close to me. To each their own but I would stay clear of it girl. Lots of walking squats sex nipple stimulation. Heck I've heard punping even does the trick.

@candacelashea Did you really just say death isn't guaranteed? So you're willing to risk it? People like you make me fucking sick.

@tiera_shaye he won't strip my membranes he said it's to close

@nakeily1112 then your doctors instructions are pretty clear...WAIT

The baby will come when it's ready

@candacelashea It's a Known Abortifacient.If the pregnant mother gets diarrhea...will cause dehydration in the mom and Innocent baby and will cause the baby more likely to swallow it's poop.Also a Known Fact can cause Nerual defects in your child @nakeily1112

@candacelashea, you are taking this post way to hard lol 😂😂 and stop calling people Cunts, come up with a new insult lmao.

@candacelashea Ok dumbass.

Please wait till baby is ready to come out, castor oil isn't safe.

@candacelashea if you're aware of all these dangers why would you STILL tell someone to go ahead and take it?🤔

Please do not drink this to induce labor! I know the last few weeks can be hard, but the risks with this are far too great! Use safer ways to bring on labor like dancing, walking, sex, or bouncing on a yoga ball! I know it’s been said plenty on this thread, but don’t do it. DON’T. Have people done this with seemingly no harm to their child? Yes. Is there always the chance that you could fall into the percentage that takes this and causes harm to your baby or death? Absolutely. Please be patient and let your body do the work it was created to do. You’re almost there!

@candacelashea, you’re a super pleasant women. And no, I’m okay. Thanks for the offer though sweetheart 🖕🏻

A lot of these comments are coming off harsh and I know everyone is concerned and hormones are high we’re all pregnant but ladies take some time and think about what you’re saying to someone else and how it’s coming off she’s pregnant and hormonal as well. Instead of informing some of you are attacking her. Let’s try to use kinder words.

@nakeily1112, I’m sorry. That sucks. Idk his reasoning for not doing it but I feel like he gave you a bullshit excuse. But each doctor has their reasons for how they do things. I got mine stripped at 39 weeks 3 days.

I have learned each doctor has their own way. I worked in OB for awhile. We have one that won’t induce until you are 41+ weeks. Then the other will induce almost always at 38 weeks. One Reasoning being that after 40 weeks baby has a much higher chance of pooping inside mom. Trust me though try natural ways first. Being induced with Pitocin is a bitch. Makes the contractions much harder and painful.

@candacelashea how about you take castor oil and have YOUR baby then come back with your expert advice.. no? Ok sit your ass down.

@candacelashea Maybe you didn't say go ahead but you did encourage her by saying it wasn't 100% fatal.

I literally cannot address that trash any longer🙄

Hang in there, mama. You're so close to the end. Castor oil won't be good for you or your baby. Getting that little one safely into your arms is the most important thing and you don't want to risk that.

@tipsymermaid Bwb 😂

@caiticat, for real 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m gonna put my 2 cents in and leave it at this... please do not take this and even chance a risk to your child.

@candacelashea, some of the moms on here think their the perfect moms, behind their damn keyboard.. GTFOH!!

Girl I need you as a friend lol. I swear we’re like the same person.

Anyways you judge mental twats. The mom that made this post originally simply asked a question. Not for all yalls judgments and shaming!!! There are plenty of mommies on here that have made their point telling the mom not to take the castor oil because whatever reason, and suggested alternatives.

Why in the hell is saying, “if you want to kill your baby then..”

Like what kind of mom says that to another mom!!!??? Some of you hags are so bitter! Message the mom

Privately and informs her if you really want to get your point across, but gahh stop being so ugly!!

And @theinkedmommy,

What the hell does community manager mean, cause if you have some sort of ranking on this app then we’re all doomed 🤦🏽‍♀️!! Who the hell responds to another mom like that.

Now everyone go eat some cookies and have a better day😁

@selena_vargas119334, You’re entitled to your feelings love. 💕

@candacelashea, no offense but... why are you so not informed? All this shit you’re saying is a fucking joke right? Cause no way you’re telling someone it’s ok to harm their baby.

@selena_vargas119334, damn you’re rude too. All the moms that are pro castor oil are abunch of mean ladies. Ewww

@lee-lee thank u

I think OP should do some research and speak with her doctor about it, some doctors and midwives still recommend castor oil if the mother is facing Pitocin induction and wants to try it naturally. There are other things you can do besides castor oil so I would just seek medical advice and try everything besides the oil first. After 40 weeks babies have a high chance of pooping in the womb anyway, some midwives and doctors will recommend trying this at 39 weeks because it can increase the chances of meconium passing in the womb. I think a lot of comments are coming off rude even if they weren’t meant that way, she just needs to do her own research and consult her doctor before thinking about it.

@cjl020415, if your OB or midwife tells you to take it then she should really switch doctors because that’s fucking ridiculous.

@tiera_shaye I know I was induced with my sec nd had a c-section with the first one...I rather go thru pitocin then getting cut

@august.rae, I’m NOT pro Castro oil. Please tell me where I said I was?

I just don’t feel the need to be judgmental about telling another mom not to do it because whatever reasoning.

@nakeily1112, then tell him no. YOUR body.

She should have known she was gonna get these types of comments when she says she’s desperate to induce at 39 weeks and asks about castor oil.

@nakeily1112, you’re welcome don’t let these ladies comments get to you ok. You’re doing fine you asked a question and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That’s what the app is for asking questions and gaining support.

Did you have a csection in any of your other pregnancies? My doctor also wanted to schedule a repeat csection for me at 39 weeks but I didn't want him to. With my son I didn't dilate all the way and his head ended up crooked so he couldn't make his way into the birth canal because his head was too big so size became a concern with my doctor this time around, he's worried about the baby being too big this time but we had a talk about the options and the pros and cons and we came to an agreement, he does not want me going past 41 weeks so he scheduled the repeat for 3 days after my due date and he's going to allow me time to let myself go into labor on my own first. Maybe you can discuss it with your doctor and come up with an agreement? If you've never had a csection before then I'd ask the doctor what his reasoning is and if there really is no real reason I'd get a new doctor right away.

@cjl020415, rarely under certain medical circumstances while being monitored castor oil can be recommended. Not on your own at home without being monitored and all medical scenarios discussed.

The person fighting the hardest is trying to self induce at 36 weeks because she’s “over it”. I’d definitely take medical advice from someone who is not concerned with her child’s health at all 🙄.

@nakeily1112, try natural ways. Nipple stim, sex, rolling your hips on a ball, etc. your body will go into labor when it’s ready. And you do not have to consent to a csection just because. The doctor can monitor you closely over 40 weeks. Sounds like he’s being lazy. A due date is an estimation not an expiration.

@tipsymermaid, or maybe, just maybe she thought, hmmm this is an app filled with moms. Let me ask a question and get some feedback because NO ONE on this app is perfect and can give me some suggestions and help. I truly doubt she thought she was gonna post this and half the “moms” on here attack her!!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

@selena_vargas119334, NOONE is attacking her, wouldn’t you be happy if moms came to let you know you may be harming your UNBORN child? Trust me I see you’re a FTM once you have your baby in your arms you will UNDERSTAND why we feel this way about castor oil.

@selena_vargas119334, I don’t see many moms attacking her directly. It’s just a lot of women fighting with eachother on her post. The first couple comments weren’t very nice though. I see a lot more ladies fighting with one specific person.

@laniejay, where I’m from it is recommended a lot but it is always before 40 weeks because of the meconium factor. I was just telling her she should talk to a doctor about it and try other natural ways first, her doctor seems like he may be pushing her to do it his way she could always switch doctors instead of being pushed into self inducing.

I’m trying to PM you OP

As many times as ppl say castor oil is not safe they don’t listen. Now it’s even consider rude to help other ppl out.

@_ejx2, right like wtf dude 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh. I must have missed all the comments where people were attacking her.

@selena_vargas119334, girl I’m truly astonished at some of these comments. I’m sitting her like are y’all seriously attacking someone for asking a question. They need to eat some fruit and simmer down. Oh wait fruit has risk of listeria never mind. Lmaoooooo I’m sorry but this is crazy talking to someone like that and thinking it’s ok is nuts.

I can't seem to find one person that attacked the OP

She just asked a question but no it’s very dangerous I would not try it good luck on getting things moving tho @nakeily1112,

Informing someone of risks isn’t attacking them at all! Maybe we should all be like”yeah that’s totally the right thing to drink, good luck” because giving someone information is obviously very wrong! 🤔

@august.rae, I think it’s nice for moms to look out for other moms. However, there are moms on here attacking. Especially the ones saying if you want to kill your baby and say how she’s being selfish. Like there is just a better way to get someone to understand where your trying to come from without being so aggressive about it. That’s what I’m trying to say! I personally don’t know anything about castor oil. But I know I would much rather take advice from the mom that says, don’t take it because this and this, rather than the mom that says your gonna kill your baby and blah blah. It’s just unnecessary to get your point across that way!

Please OP don't try this. One my of friends tried this and almost lost her daughter. There's other ways to induce yourself. You're only 39 weeks, baby still needs the last few days to grow. Baby will come out when ready. Just try to relax! Take a walk, hang out with friends, etc. Have some time to yourself before baby comes. Enjoy being pregnant these last few days because once baby is here you'll miss it!

@lee-lee, yesss girl yess. I could really go for some kiwis right now. All these unpleasant moms are getting me hungry lol.

@selena_vargas119334, lmaooo who are you telling I’m digging in my fridge as we speak.

My only 2 cents that no one asked for that I will share is for the mom that said “where in the bottle does it highlight ‘not to use when pregnant’” just because something doesn’t have a warning sign doesn’t mean we should ingest it. There’s also common sense and google (research) I know that in the past Castor oil has come up as safe, I don’t remember why I bought it one time... it was before I was pregnant and it was so nasty looking and thick. I would never think about taking that in my life. It’s exhausting at the very end to say the least, walk a little more, have sex, drink raspberry leaf tea, try all natural ways if you must. Some moms I know say baby will come when s/he is ready but if you feel the need to do something, do that. Those things won’t harm the baby, in fact it’s not even guaranteed it’ll bring you to labor. But it could help speed up the process, baby will come when it’s time. Hang in there! We’re all going through it with you!

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma I had a c-section with my first and it was cuz she was breech my second one I was induced at 42..so I dont see any issues being induced

@nakeily1112, anyways girl, I could care less for the drama. I like settling things in person, not behind a keyboard💁🏽‍♀️

I hope you get the advice you want and need. I know nothing about castor oil, but apparently it’s bad for you. Maybe just ask your doctor beforehand and don’t make any quick decisions based on everything that is said on these comments. Protect yourself and MOST importantly protect your baby. Maybe try other natural ways to self induce, Ive heard red leaf tea helps (don’t go by my word though, def ask a doctor)

I do however know that exercising a little heavier than usual does work well though!!! And it’s 100% natural. Maybe go for a light jog, just don’t strain your body. Baby will come eventually. If it is by c-section I’m sorry since that’s not what you want. Goodluck though.

Don’t do it my sister pooped on herself doing delivery 😣

So now we have to sugar coat things we say? Gtfo here! You’re putting a baby at risk!! Until you’ve loss a child you’ll never know how shitty it feels. You would do everything in your power to keep that baby safe no matter how uncomfortable, miserable and blah blah blah you feel.

Jumping off a bridge isn’t guaranteed to kill you but why do it 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Settling things in person” trashy if you ask me 😏

Some people act like children here. I thought we were all grown adults.

@mariapb, no one said giving information is wrong, however how it’s given can be wrong. I’ve seen some very informative comments that were worded very nicely. Then there’s some nasty ones. We are all adults and should know the difference.

@_ejx2, someone actually said that? It’s like highschool all over again lmao. Like okay, let’s fist fight over castor oil. Cool man, cool.

I really can’t believe this is still going 🤦🏽‍♀️ let it go ppl there are literally bigger issues in the world !!!! I think she got the point castor oil is risky sheesh.

@mommyof1boyy, yes some said 😂

@lee-lee, it’s a touchy subject for a lot of people because people have lost or know people who have lost babies because of it. It will always get people’s backs up.

@lee-lee, some are just late to the party 😂😂

@mommyof1boyy, lml I know but I know they see all 1000 comments saying the same exact thing they blowing this poor woman’s phone up with all these notifications lol

@mariapb, I get it but that’s really no excuse to not consider someone’s feelings. We never know what ppl are going through personally so I think taking the time out to think about how we say things can make a difference. Depression is so high, suicide rates are high. I’m not saying she’s either of those things but someone may be, and when we learn to be considerate we might just save a life. We are adults we should have better control over our speech than this.

I haven't done it myself but my mom did when pregnant with me I pooped before I came out because of it and it almost killed me. I was very sick for a while after that and so was my mama. Since then I have heard of many mamas losing there precious babies because of it. I totally get being ready but just wanted to share my experience with you doll. Hoping the best for you and hope you have baby soon

@shyia722, yes it does. That’s why some meds aren’t okay to take while pregnant 😂😂 your child can literally have withdrawals from Meds that it takes in while in the womb.

There ya go! - Also a Miss No Medical Degree.

A simple google and article from March of dimes gave me the information.

I’m an RN and we do not advise castor oil, I used to work in OB

Not none of my business but she only asked for a question not people to be mean and arguing over what’s right and what’s wrong everyone has their own opinions but let’s be real you ladies arguing and fussing like little kids I’m pretty sure she googled on what could happen she only posted a picture not of her actually drinking smh 🤦‍♀️ you ladies need to grow up

@shyia722, you’re nuts! You’re a nurse..a nurse..you don’t perform surgery’s and you clearly over exaggerate everything. My post was stating that Meds CAN be passed through to the babies. You’re wild 😂😂

@shyia722, it can kill your baby There may be fetal distress. This means that the baby is compromised before labour or during the birth process. Use of castor oil may result in low oxygen levels which can result in the death of the fetus, if the baby is not delivered immediately. The mother feels decreased movement of the baby.

There’s many reasons why it’s not safe

@shyia722, u actually said you’ve been ‘performing Surgeries for 2 years’ lol

@bitchcraft, yeah what would you know you FTM. Obviously FTM don’t research things or know anything about child birth or care. 😳

@august.rae, thank you 😂 she’s an OR nurse, meaning she might be in the OR helping the surgical team, but she doesn’t perform surgery’s, if she did, I wouldn’t trust her. Just sayin.

@shyia722, damn they let u hold a knife? I’m a nurse they’ve never let me cut someone open 🤔

@shyia722, over 387 surgeries, like 388?? 😂😂😂 sorry that made me laugh it was so accurate.

@shyia722, what?! First you said they weren’t and now you’re saying they are? It’s either that or your English is fricken terrible..now idk what you’re talking about 😂 I’m so fucking confused dude

I’m literally laughing out loud

Yes you can suture but not deliver babies... 2 totally different fields lol

I can legally remove sutures but I sure as hell don’t deliver babies 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shyia722, I worked in L&D for 2 years lol I went to the OR lots of time.

@shyia722, honey I know you’re job I’m in the same field lol

@shyia722, BSN, Im currently in home health working hospice

@shyia722, no but I know what your job is lol

@shyia722, you sound bitter as fuck no offense lol 😂😂😂

@shyia722, but but but..that’s not performing surgery, you make sure the surgical team has what they need when it’s needed, you stand and watch and help if you’re needed, you do the books, you set up the OR, sometimes you stay and clean the OR..sutures is way different than actually PERFORMING a surgery,

To be a surgeon you need way more schooling than 4 years and a damn certification/lisence lmao

@shyia722 the doctor is still the one performing the surgery, not you. The doctor can do the surgery without you, you cannot do the surgery without the doctor. That makes the doctor the one who is performing it 🤦‍♀️

@shyia722 Wtf are you talking about

A nurse can't perform surgery only a doctor can. Girl stop fucking lying.

@shyia722, all I know is if I went to my csection and a assist is performing my section I would immediately decline. I’ve never hear of an assist performing the actual surgery. Are u sure that’s legal? 🤔

@caiticat, I’m dead

Ok well I’ve spent way too much Time fighting with the doctor on ML, I’m going to Chuck E. Cheese. See ya 👌🏼

@shyia722, okay okay. You’re story is wacky tabacky. First you were an OR nurse, once we called you out on that..you’re suddenly this amazing doctor who does everything 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh my God, you don't perform C-sections! You are a nurse. I have mad respect for nurses, and there are a lot of situations where nurses do more hands on work than the doctors, but surgery is not one of them. Doctors perform surgeries. You assist. End of story.

There’s a clue in your job title. First ASSIST!

https://youtu.be/9dv8-BkpvUk

Ok I’m done bye

All I could think of reading these last comments 😂

Y’all I’m done. This shit be wild today.

My husband works on airplanes, but that doesn’t make him a pilot

@laniejay, sure it does.

@nakeily1112 then talk to your doctor about the reason behind it and see if you can come to an agreement like I did with mine. As long as there's no issues I don't see why another csection is necessary, it's not too late to change doctors even though you're 39 weeks. Just keep yourself very active, and try all the SAFE alternatives consistently and hopefully that will help you get goinf.

@laniejay, yes he is... right 😭

I would die if I found out this chick was my “surgeon”. Like, literally I’d probably die. How can someone be educated with six years of knowledge and speak that way? If you couldn’t learn basic grammar during your six years of college lord help the women who have to be underneath your assisting surgical hands, or whatever you claim they are. 🙄😑

@mommyof1boyy I know a woman that took some meds while Prego to this day her 3 yr old suffers from seizures due to those damn meds her Drs prescribed to her...Drs are book smart they don't know it all

I induced my labor with pineapple and Dates

It’s the one you drink if you feel like pissing out of your ass for two days, potentially not going into labor at all, and if you do also potentially killing your baby while it floats around in its own poop while you labor for hours.

I know im coming in late and the chance of op reading this are slim, but im gunna try anyway. I have never taken castor oil, but I have had a baby pass meconium in the womb, during my third labour my son became stressed while I was pushing, his heart rate dropped and before I knew it the midwife was pressing the emergency button and the room filled with medical personnel. He was delivered minutes later not breathing his mouth and nose were full of meconium, he was rushed to one of those special cots and they worked on him clearing his airways and finally after what felt like the longest time of my life he finally cried, I didnt realise that I had been holding my breath with him until that moment.. thankfully the meconium didnt cause infection, we were incredibly lucky but it doesnt always work out that way. Please don't risk experiencing what I did, hold on in there mama youre so close to the end.

I don’t even know why I’m bothering to comment on this but I see there is a debate about how castor oil doesn’t cross the placenta so can’t affect baby. The issue with this argument is that it’s not the castor oil itself that harms baby. It’s the fact that castor oil causes you to have intense cramps and diarrhea which in turn puts baby in distress, leading to increased chance that baby will poop in the womb, inhale it and suffocate or get an infection. You can find this information easily on scholarly articles peer reviewed by actual doctors on google.

@shyia722 has confused herself at this point. Holy hell this is a clusterfuck. If you were my nurse, I would immediately ask for a new one just based on how you’re carrying yourself here.

I lost one future cousin because my aunt thought this would be so helpful to induce. She had bad diahrrea , strong stomach pain and that caused the baby to move around alot causing him to strangle himself inside because he was distressed But you go on and kill or put that precious baby in risk too if that's what you want

Seems to me if you are that desperate why not seek medical help? If you're doctor who is certified in that profession won't induce you, it's because you can wait longer. Why would you try and do otherwise? Selfish. Being pregnant is hard the last week's but you must stay strong. You're putting your child at risk. But I'm sure you know this

You're 39 weeks for fucks sake.

@nmarti95 I used to have it but my phone shit on me and deleted all my pics

@shayybear, me too 😭

@candacelashea, "Death isn't a guaranteed." Great way to start out parenthood. 🙄

@candacelashea, if you don't want to get called out for your ridiculous statement, feel free to delete it and save others from reading your nonsense.

Man. I understand being impatient but what’s another week?

OP, it sounds like everyone else answered your question... however, on another note, did your doctor tell you why he won't induce and is just choosing to go straight to c-section... I'd definitely demand an answer to that one just so I felt comfortable. I was reading(all the comments) and realized you said you already had a vbac, so I know that can't be it
