It doesnt nessaceraly(sp?) send everyone into labor. I took 2oz. of it and i had very painful contractions and then they just stopped and i never had another one.I'm 38 1/2 weeks preg. and still no baby! lol...but u can try it if u want...it does send some ppl into labor so Good Luck. By the way....it tastes VERY BAD! and i was on the toilet all night! :( needless to say it was a very bad experience.....i hope it goes better for you! again...GOOD LUCK!

I took 4tbsp. (half the bottle) yesterday at 5am, had some cramps...then at 10am I took the rest of the bottle (with oj of course) and started having cramps. I also started to spot a little. My dh and I had s_x last night so hopefully that'll speed things along as well. The diahrea wasn't that bad...although it was just like water coming out of me! I am 40wks. 5days. =*(

Castor Oil is not a good idea to take to start labour. Ask your doctors. I know you are anxious to get the baby into this world, but trust me, they grow up way too fast, enjoy having them inside you just a little bit longer! If your doctor thinks its neccessary, he will induce labour, dont take nature into your own hands ladies...

Yes, please, no castor oil. For one thing it's an old wives tale. The only thing it will accomplish is cleaning out your system. When you're pregnant you spend enough time on the pot with the little one on your bladder. Don't make it worse. If you REALLY want to try and help it along, have your sweetie ma__sage your b___sts. This will make your uterus contract (if he does it right LOL) Same as b___st feeding after delivery. It makes the uterus contract and makes you lose weight more quickly. (Just one more advantage to b___stfeeding)
