Is caster oil a bad idea?!
Question: so im almost 40 weeks just off by a couple of days. Well to i was having contractions and they were 15min apart so my boyfriend took me up in the mountains on a bumpy road .
That seemed to work a little so then we walked around walmart for awhile. well like at 11:30 i went in cause they were 6 min apart but im only dailated at a one :( so i drank caster oil when i got home. I took it with sprite in a shot glass thinking it would be easyer to go down. Well it still taste like *** and i guess now i just sit around and wait????

Yes. With what you've told us. You did the right things. That's all you can do now is wait it out and find things that you can do. You may have to try really hard to find something to keep your mind occupied, and
this is a long shot, but if you can get comfortable somewhere, try to sleep through it. You'll wake up when it's time, believe me.
If online q and a helps. Welcome to the fold. Time eaters= Yahooligan buddy talk, sex, read, crochet, watch movies of interest to you, have some good hot tea ( Mint Medley, or/and Chammomile is good) & yummy tea cookies, go through a mountain of mail, take goofy pictures of husband, or any combination thereof.
Castor oil is an outdated practice that has very little effect, except upsetting stomachs.
Relax, have a hot shower and get as much rest as possible!! Your going to be needing it!
fish oil capsules are a much more concentrated form of castor oil and they don`t taste nasty. They are very high in omega 3 which is really good for you.
Castor oil will either make you throw up or have diarrhea. You can have sex. It seems to help thin the cervix and help contractions. Good Luck!
wow you got that stuff to go down i couldn't lol i was desperate like you too . i found that nothing helped move it along i walked ,i did the deed which was not on my list lol , i tried meditation , and nothing worked but here is something that might brighten your day when dialated at a one 23 1/2 hours later i had a baby . which was a suprise to me because at my doctor appointment that morning she told women can go for days at a 1 but later that day i started to relize it wasn't going to be days it does take along time just keep your self occupied it a few days you will be a mommy and i know its seems like forever good luck
I can chime in on this with first hand experience. 11 yrs ago I had my daughter. my grandma told me about castor oil and I was SOOO OVER being pregnant that I told my husband to go buy some. I drank it late saturday night and at 6am Sunday morning my water broke. It was on my actual due date that she was born but i promise you, it really did work for me. i was not have any cramps or contractions prior and in fact my due date was changed from the 15th to the 19th so to me i was 'over' my due date. I say go for it and yes it takes like ****!@!!!!!!!!
