Wow! Just wow at the judgment from this group and the evil remarks! Is castor oil recommended in US anymore? No. Is it in other countries? You bet! Some doctors do actually recommend and not everyone has used the flippin search function or are on this site as often as those that clearly get soooo upset if someone repeats a question. If you have already responded or read about it, what is the point in responding! CALM DOWN and relax. She was asking - it doesn't make her a bad mom or someone who shouldn't consider children!! Talk about rude!
OP - I'm with you. I have considered everything natural but castor oil isn't the answer. I'm hopeful medical induction isn't necessary as I'm sure you are. But good luck and take good care - only a little longer before we have that beautiful bundle in our arms!
It's not my story to tell, but there is a regular here who tried castor oil with her first. She's having some medical issues right now so I'll paraphrase what I remember about her story. She tried castor oil with her first. Her first was born with a health issue. Was this issue caused by the castor oil? No one knows. But the fact is that it may have been - she'll never know if her oldest wouldn't have had this issue of not for her trying to induce via castor oil. She's posted about this before, but I can't find the post since I'm mobile/I won't share her name without permission.
So honest question time - in a few months will we have WKs defending the women that are considering giving their children booze/OTC meds that aren't approved by their pediatricians so that their LO will sleep?
... you mean I can't give my baby zzzzquil? Before someone calls CPS on me, I swear I'm joking. Lol
No nyquil... Tylenol works great and if you don't have any, just use some tequila. Make sure it's the one without the worm though.

A sippy cup full of strawberry daiquiri and half a cigarette always put ME to sleep. :-bd
While I don't have personal experience with castor oil, I've never tried it, I have heard lots of horror stories about horrible it can be! I wouldn't recommend it. On another note, I wouldn't recommend drinking alcohol during pregnancy but I have read a thread on here where many posters think it's ok, and no one jumped down their throats about it.... Everyone has an opinion and will do what they think is best for themselves and the health of their baby.
