Working?
- I'm 39 weeks, 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I saw the method of using castrol oil and decided to give it a try. Made a shake consisting of 2 oz castrol oil, 2 raw eggs, 2 tbsp of real ice cream, and 1 cup of milk. Took it at 10:00 am, went on a 20 min walk, now 3:00 pm and bowl movements and some cramping just now setting in. Haven't had any vomiting. Idk yet if this is helping induce labor, but I'll keep you posted!!

undecidedly emotional
- So an unexpected pregnacy... I was taking the pill and wasn't taking them at the same time every day and forgot them a day or 2 as well... and well after moving to my off week with no pills and going 5 days of feeling like I was going to start my period (with cramping)but having nothing happen, I decided to take a home test... which in seconds came back positive. At first I was in shock but burried myself in work till the end of the day when I told my bf. After a couple of days of thinking about our options and talking about the financial strain it may cause in the fist year we decided to keep it... I am currently 5-6 weeks pregnant and am nervous and worried and excited all at the same time. Though I am so tired and can't stop yawning from the moment I get out of bed and my breasts are sore and I have had "morning sickness" at all hours I cannot wait for my first ultrasound on Friday :)

ABOUT TO TRY IT!
- I am 38 weeks and 4 days & 1cm dilated. The pelvic exam was very painful but has not helped start my contractions so its time to hit Walgreens for some castor oil! With my first child all I had to do was walk but this little girl seems to have her own agenda! Hope it works for me. My fingers and toes are crossed.

High hopes
- I tried castor oil at 37 weeks even. I took 1 table spoon, then 2 tbs an hour later (took it like a shot then used oj as a chaser) 3 hours later I was on the toilet and an hour or so after that I started getting contractions 5 min apart but not painful. Went to the hospital once the contractions got to 2 min apart. Once there they started to get painful but I wasn't dilated and I got slightly dehydrated so I got sent home. They eventually stopped after 4 hours. I'm now 39.1 weeks and am trying it again. This time I'm taking it on a full stomach and being sure to stay hydrated. I found taking it in apple sauce is best for me. I could only smell it but couldn't taste or feel the texture. I took 2 tbs so we will see!

Worked?
- I took castor oil a few days prior to my son being born. After taking it I had pretty bad diarrhea but no vomitting, and I was sick/ nauseated my entire pregnancy. Given the fact that I went into labor a few days later I assume it may have contributed to starting inducing my labor. The only complaint I had was the diarrhea gave me some minor hemroids. I'm now pregnant with my second child and only nervous to take castor oil because I've already got hemroids and don't want to make them worse.
