CASTOR OIL: YES OR NO?
if yes, what are the pros and cons? I am scheduled to be induced tomorrow but would like to go into labor naturally if possible and avoid the pitocin for personal reasons. Any momma's used castor oil and what was your experience? How long were you confined to the toilet and how long did it take before you started labor (if you ever did)?

No never do castor oil. It could cause baby to poo then breathe it in which isn't good. Best ways to try to self induce (which don't always work) are exercising, walking, squats, and sex.
no no no no never. don’t let anyone tell you it’s ok too. NOT worth it
Try doing deep squats for as long as you can stand it. That helped me.
No, just no.
Even if others have done it and "everything was fine " doesn't make the cons any less dangerous or deadly. Other users have stated the cons.
No pros.
These are the times this app is awesome. So glad you posted and asked! I hadn't heard how dangerous it was until I joined this app.
Yea. Anytime someone says the words “castor oil” I immediately think “death trap waiting to happen” i would definitely just relax as much as possible hunn. It’s really not worth it the risks...You got this💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Also, if you look up “castor oil during pregnancy/to induce labor risks” it’ll say the same thing. Definitely don’t do it...
I just did that I was looking up efficacy beforehand. Should have looked up risks first!
I know babies that unfortunately have passed away due to people taking castor oil. That’s one of the most dangerous things you can do. Please don’t take that...not only is it dangerous to your baby but it can also make you unnecessarily uncomfortable before delivery.
Absolutely not. You are being induced tomorrow just take this time to relax before baby gets here!
It can cause the baby to poop their meconium which they can die from infection from so yeah. I personally would say definitely don’t use it
Nope. I know a baby that died from it. Not worth the risk for me.
Oh that makes sense - does it cross the placenta?
Absolutely not! castor oil can kill your baby please don’t risk it
@scared_shtless, it can cause baby to poop in the uterus and cause an infection and if baby eats the meconium it can kill the baby I wouldn’t risk it google castor oil to induce labor I’m sure they makes more sense than me
@scared_shtless, it can cause baby to poop and then baby can swallow the poop water and get infections.
I tried it before I knew how bad it was for baby and it was disgusting, all it did for me was give me bad diarrhea and cramps! Baby was still 2 weeks late😫
