Absolutely not. A few more days of being pregnant - as impatient as I am - is nowhere near as important as the health and well-being of both myself and my child. Be smart, my dear.
If castor oil worked so well, why don't more trained physicians prescribe it (I.e. Knowing a woman who knows a woman who knows a woman doesn't count)???
We did try that yesterday along with spicy food and taking a walk, no luck yet!
Well obviously your body is not ready for labor just yet. Keep trying sex, spicy foods, and walking. These are way safer than the castor oil. Just be patient and wait it out. You and your DH planning days are OVER!
I think this topic has been sufficiently covered. However, I wanted to add that my doctor said there are tons of things to encourage labor on the internet but she said do NOT try castrol oil. I would agree with the others that it's a bad idea.
It only works if you don't poop. So take the castor oil, but be sure not to go number 2 afterwards. It will be hard, but hold it in.

Then you will pioneer the birth method that I would hereby like to call birth by explosion. Your kid will be able to kill Macbeth without needing the assistance of bears. </lit nerd>

This reminds me of a joke an elderly uncle used to tell.
A man went to the old country doctor for a cough, and his doctor prescribed him some pills to pick up.
The next day the man called the doc and said, "I appreciate you seeing me and calling the pharmacy for me, but...I had a cough. Do ya mind telling me why you prescribed me maximum-strength Ex-Lax?"
The old doctor's reply: "Well, y'ain't coughin' anymore, are ya?"
(Give it a minute. You'll get it.)
