I'm 38 wks and 3 days. I'm a ftm and I'm thinking about trying castor oil today. Does anyone know if it works??

    If you are 38 weeks pregnant you probably shouldnt be doing anything to induce labor. Your baby will come when it's ready.

    Based on the risk of baby passing meconium in the uterus from side effects of castor oil, I wouldn't want to risk taking it. If you are really wanting to induce, there are better, safer options.

    It works about 50% of the time, gives you explosive diarrhea and can cause baby to have a bowel movement while still inside. You still have 2 weeks until you're actually due and I wouldn't even do it then.

    im 40 weeks and 4 days and i am still refraining from caster oil even though it is really hard not to do something when you are over due. i am too concerned me wanting to rush her out could have a negative affect on her. take lots of hot showers to relax take walks that last a half hour several times a day and breath a lot to relax he/she will come trust me i know how hard it is i am also a ftm but its really not worth the risk.
