Here's An Update From the Castor Oil Topic Posted: 08-14-06 10:39am
Well.. I went back to the drs on august
10th, they did another ultrasound &
the baby is 8.7lbs!! I about died.. I
still have 11 days :( my cervix is still
the same. I did try that oil mixed with
orange juice at 6:30 last night &
nothing..I had prepared myself to be
crapping all night long.. & just
nothing..That's better then what I
expected. I go back weds. Morning. So
hopefully they tell me good news..

Why did you try caster oil not only does
it give you a realy bad tummy and caca
like mad, it also can cause problems
during labour, you should have askd your
midwife about it and im sure she would
have strongly adviced you not to, if u
have 11 dayz to go just w8 or try normal
things like walkin alot currys sex and
things like that

Castor oil will not cause problems during
labor...I tried it and my doctor told me
that it was not worth it only because its
just a myth ..And it really doesnt work
the way people say it does...All it made
me do was throw up ..Which I was use to
because I was sick throughout the
beginning of my pregnancy..--but like I
said it isnt going to cause problems
during labor its just a laxative...They
use to use it back in the day for
constipation and things like that..

just because your brother
came a week and a half early doesn't mean
it was due to the oil.It could have been
many things
