Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 31/2 cm not sure how effaced I am. Took castor oil around 5ish and nothing yet. Losing alot of mucus sorry if anyone is grossed out by it I am. 39 weeks pregnant. Does anyone think It will work for me???

no it doesnt work. im 9 days over due and had 3 bottles . it does not work.

How much castor oil should a person take i have tried already I only took one tablespoon never did nothing to me

My sister and her boyfriends cousin both took 1.5 tablespoons and they gave birth about 22 hours later 2 minutes apart. Niether was due for a few more days. It sounds crazy but it worked for them.

HI JOANNE YES SWEETIE CASTOR OIL REALLY WORKS BUT YOU WILL HAVE SEVERE CRAMPING AND HEAVY HEAVY DIARREAH

I am 38 weeks and 2 days and just took 2 tablespoons 2 hrs ago and went for a walk nothing! not even a contraction!!!

I just took some today and went for a walk for about an hour afterwards so far i have been having some cramping type feeling but it never made me have to go to the bathroom let you know if it works but i don`t think it will

i recommend castor oil if your body is ready. i took it a 39wks5days and i was 2cm dialted and 80 effaced. with an hour i had mild diarrha and had my daughter 7 hours later and it is my firest baby. so i recommend it if u know your body is ready.

I've heard it can work very well but can also give you bad diarhea. I am 4 days late and have considered it myself. I took 1 tsp the other day and did have quite a bit of false labor that evening so I can imagine what a few tsp or tbsp would do. I did a google search the other day and there was quite a bit of information on castor oil. I would only try it if you are overdue, not at 36 weeks, you aren't full term till 38 weeks. Hope this helps.

Well I tried it and it didn`t work I had lots of cramping throughout the night but no baby so far Im getting so impatient and uncomfortable I am now 40 weeks and with my first I delivered when I was 38 weeks and never used nothing I am just tired of being pregnant

to all who say that 36 weeks isn't consider full-term. Well tell you how much you know because 36 weeks is consider full term. Not to say it's a great ideal to take the CO at 36 wks, but i didn't and i took it this past Saturday had the baby Monday morning at 4am and just made it home about an hr ago. Everything went fine, the baby ok me ok and were feeling vey happy i must say. But good luck to all who's brave enought to try it.

Term is 37 weeks, not 36.

Joanne i want you to know that the castro oil really works. Again i wouldn't consider you to take it if your having doubts. We are all different and what may work 4 me may not work 4 you but it did work 4 me.

I took castor oil when my plug came out at 35 weeks and nothing happened. I am 38/39 weeks now and it hurts for me to get up in the morning but once i am up i don't ach as bad. well I am 2 to/or 4 cm dialated and 50% effaced and the baby is +2 in my pelvic bone....so i guess i am ready to do it again....this is better now then last time. Oh, and buy the way ladies, go with yor own gut feeling ok?! I wish you luck and wish me luck....Later ya'll!!!

i have 8 kids and tok caster oil with five of them it work for all

I'm 38 weeks and 2 cm and 85% and the doctor won't induce me until I'm 3 cm or 40 weeks, but I don't want to wait. I've already tried castor oil once but I wan't as far along, and I didn't take that much. I just took 2 oz now so I'll see what happens. I'll keep you guys informed of what happens.
