3rd Trimester

Castor Oil ?

Ok I am desperate enough to have tried this. I took one tablespoon 2.5 hours and haven't felt a thing.  Does anyone know how much I should take?  Or maybe it just doesn't work? I thought at least I would get a cramp or two but nothing!

  • I think its an old wives tale. I've heard it doesn't work a lick... Ick!

  • I've heard all it does it cause diarrhea.  I've heard of a few cases where labor has started and the diarrhea continued through labor.  I have a fear that the baby will ingest it.  Between that and the diarrhea...NO THANKS!

    Well that was just a little uncalled for. Way to jump down the poor girls throat.

    thanks for sticking up for me.  I did talk to my doc today about and she said go for it but didn't give me instructions on how much.
