    I've been pumping for the past three days! It's kind of a hassle time wise, and so far hasn't really done anything contraction wise, but I have managed to pump 6 oz of colostrum! I am pretty happy about that because it will give DH a chance to feed and bond with LO during his short time off.

     Yes, brave indeed, I have been thinking about this, but can't force myself to do it. DH is away on military duty this weekend or else I really might consider it.

    I already did it. After a brief bout of nausea I am feeling frighteningly ok. I don't think this is going to work. Although in all of the "success" (and I  use that term loosely) stories I've heard, nothing happens for around 24 hours. I took the recipe that another bumpee posted in an earlier post. 

     

    I had 2 tbsp of castor oil mixed with a very strong (3 bag) red raspberry leaf tea, mixed with some orange juice and ginger ale.

     

    Hope my baby doesn't have the sh**s too!

    My friend used castor oil to try to induce her labor when she was almost two weeks overdue.  It took a couple of days before it kicked in, and she was pretty miserable before it did (and after because she was tired from being sick). 

    GL to you...you're braver than I am!

    Good luck to you!  I'd absolutely take castor oil if I were facing an induction, too.

    i am going to be  bold and say that the castor oil didnt work :( 

    I had 2 strong contractions last night and thats it. Today my tummy is upset but still no baby.

    I have to conclude that it didnt work for me. And there we have it!

    I almost did this too. Once I saw that recipe it got me thinking.. Thanks for posting, maybe I'll try the breast pump instead.
