3cm dilated..cervix soft..


and my midwife touched his head and he wiggled it during my internal yesterday at my 38 week appointment. I had contractions all last night and thought that this was it but then around 11pm they stopped... so bummed but... I'm drinking castor oil as i type this. It has worked for all the girls in my family so i'm giving it a shot!!!

  • I've been that way since Tuesday with sporadic ctx. I'm not wanting an unpleasant weekend in the bathroom, so good luck with the oil.

  • Castor oil is definitely one of the OWT I am not willing to try, yuck. Good luck though!

  • A friend of mine tried this, with her now 9 year DD. She mixed it with OJ. I will definitely not be doing this :) Granted, it worked for her and she delivered within 48 hrs I believe. It worked for her, but with my IBS (I know, TMI) issues, I think I will be steering clear of this one. :)

  • Careful with castor oil, my friend at work said she used it for one of her sons and just got bad diarrhea and no labor.

    Yeah, OP, you do realize that the castor oil is only meant to give you bad diarrhea, and then the gut cramps are supposed to start labor, right? Whether you start laboring or not, you're going to have quite the poopy day.

  • Um, OP, you are 38 weeks. Your baby is not done yet.
  • I would try a long walk instead of the castor oil!

  • Stay close to the bathroom... I heard that doesn't work at all and just results in a super upset tummy. And if you do go into labor after all, it's probably just sheer coincidence.

  • Why are you trying to induce yourself at 38 weeks?  Just because you are dilating doesn't mean that the baby is ready to come out.
