Has drinking Castor Oil actually worked to induce labor for anyone? Mommas & Women who have taken it PLEASE?

The reason that castor oil can work is because it causes stomach upset and diarrhea which leads to dehydration. If the body is dehydrated it can lead your body to start having contractions. It is NOT healthy to induce labor that way and could negatively impact your baby. You've come this far and it would be really hard if your baby was in distress because of dehydration. 37 weeks is no longer considered full-term. The closer to 40 weeks you can go the better in terms of your health and the babies health. I know how uncomfortable the last few weeks of pregnancy are but if your body is not going into labor on its own then it's too early to try to force it. Wait a few more weeks and just try to get a lot of rest since you wont be able to sleep much after the baby has come. You can try walking a lot which can help to bring the baby down into the pelvis and prepare for birth but just try to hang in there and know that it's the best thing you can do for your baby.
