No you shouldn’t take caster oil. just start doing alot of house work or have sex to get ur water to brake. and in no time you will be haveing that baby
no dont do it, the lungs are the last to form and it will come when it is ready, you push it and you might regret it
What are you, crazy? You should be reported for fetal abuse!
Are you going to tell your child to go play in traffic and drop him or her off on the freeway?
look hun i know how you feel but beleive me it dont work i have tryed it all it done was give me the s h i ts lol it was a very stupid thing to do anyway because this amount of oil can harm your baby and if on the odd chance you did go into laubour and there was something wronge you would only blame yourself hope everything goes well just enjoy your sleep while you can because when you have your new baby around you can sleep if aint for them crrying you are sitting staring at them hope you enjoy being a mum and remember enjoy all the bad as much as the good its the bad thats funny when they are older good luck take care of yourself and baby
NO!!!!!!!!! You are only 37 weeks pregnant, and your baby very well may not be ready to be born! Now if you were 42 weeks, I can see helping things out a little bit.. But let me tell you that you do not want to be visiting your baby in the NICU just because you were impatient with their time frame for being born. I have four children, and two of them were born at 37 weeks, and BOTH of them spent time in NICU..there was no immediate bonding..they were too sick to even breath on their own and they took them from me as soon as I delivered them, all because their lungs were not developed. One of my sons (the youngest) had to be put in an oxygen tent and get put on a ventilator he was so weak he couldn’t breath on his own.. Now if the both of them had just cooked for another 10 days or so NONE of that would have happened. So please…start putting the welfare of your child FIRST…right NOW..and just let them be..when they are finished developing they will come out. Believe me, nobody is pregnant forever…
I took Castor oil with my daughter. I was to my due date and i took 2 tble. one night and started having contractions the next morning and had my daughter at 11:57 the next night so it does work
This is an old wives tale. It doesn’t start labor but it’ll put you in the bathroom for awhile!!It’s hard at the end. I think that Mother Nature does that on purpose so you can’t wait for labor instead of worrying about it. Good Luck
Castor Oil doesn’t start labor and it can be dangerous I think, especially since you’re only 37 weeks. Your baby needs every week it can have in the womb.
Don’t take Castor oil, it does not work. It made throw up for hours and that’s about it. My baby didn’t come for two days after that.
