Okay, my wife is 39 weeks and can't wait to give birth. Like others have said, her mother suggested the delicious concoction (oil and oj), so she is on her way to the store. My first reaction to the tantalizing drink, was that it would cause stomach cramps and those cramps would possibly include labor. I wouldn't drink the stuff, unless I was out of beer. Lets hope it works. If so, I will have a daughter tonight. If not, I guess I will be heading to the store for some Pepto Bismol. I will keep you posted.

Congrats Kevyn! I had to take a 2nd dose later in the day on Saturday, this time 4 1/2 tablespoons, six hours later I went to the bathroom a few times, but nothing else happened, not even bowel cramps. SO, either I did not take enough or the baby is just not ready to come, either way, I'm just waiting it out. I am 40 weeks on Wednesday and hope he decides to come s-o-o-n.

I am updating on taking castor oil last night. I took 3 tbsp at 12:15 am and it is now 3:40 pm. I have gone to the toilet only 3 times, but have felt contractions all day. I just got back from my doctors appt, and I am now 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced. I think it worked for me. I may not have a baby yet, but I know that he is on his way soon! Last week I was not dialated or effaced at all!

Okay, so I took the Castor Oil Juice combo on the 30th...Around midnight I started to have strong contractions that were 5 min apart, then two minutes. I got scared and called the Doc. Went in dialated to 2cm with a thick cervix. They sent me home with a 3cm 50% effaced cervix and said he could feel my bag of waters bulging. He said, "I'll see ya by Tuesday." It's 5pm on Monday evening and I feel fantastic...no contractions, no nothing. Either this is the energy burst or I am not having this baby anytime soon.

I took it yesterday around 3:30 pm. I got nauseuos around 5 and puked my guts up. Then about 8 I started having strong painful contractiond 3 minutes apart. At 9 I went for a long walk so if they were false they would go away. When I got back and sat down they spread to 5 then 15. I woke up this morning and had diarhea. No baby!
