you can take it but it will only work if baby is ready to come out.

Hi Sinead36...I see from a previous post that you tried Castor Oil with no luck...I personally swear by castor oil for me, but it does not work on everyone. 1st thing though is that you need to take enough...1 gulp may not be enough. I took it (about 4 tbsp) with my 2nd dd and I was on the toilet 2 hours later and in full labor 4 hours later..I delivered 6 1/2 hours after taking my first dose. I was also 37 weeks when I took it, however I was being monitored very closely by my Dr's and I knew the baby was ready to come due to several tests I'd had that week. I firmly believe that if the baby isn't ready - it won't come out. So, if I were you I would try one more time with the correct dose and if it doesn't work - that means the baby just isn't ready yet. I will be doing the same thing in 2 weeks at 37 weeks - I have Gestational Diabetes and my Dr's are going to induce at 38wks anyways...Good Luck!
