Castor oil is really not recommended to try and induce labour. It often causes vomiting and diarrhea, which isn't something you want during labour. It is also proven not to be effective at inducing labour. Really, the best thing to do is wait for your body to go into labour naturally. If your body is not already in labour, then there is a reason for that, and messing with it isn't a good idea.
I know many many women that have taken castor oil to induce their labors (around their due dates of course) and not only did they never have a problem BUT, they also started having contractions anywhere between 2-4 hours later with a baby following shortly there after. Also, I'm 9 1/2 months pregnant now, and every doctor that I've seen as well as my mother (who has been an RN for 26yrs) has told me that if I want to try castor oil "Go ahead". It can not and will not do any harm except cause cramping. It's your decision.
Please do not try to induce your own labor with castor oil. It will cause increased cramping and uncomfortableness for you and not worth it.
When the time is right, the baby will come. Do not rush it, take this time to rest and prepare yourself for the baby.
My sister is an OBGYN. She said that this is an absolute idiotic thing for a woman to do.

Will a doctor know if you take castor oil to induce labor?
Since castor oil doesn't pass through the bloodstream, there is no way for the doctor to tell if you've taken it or not. But I would tell him just to be on the safe side. Hopes this helps! She may wonder why you have diarrhoea (yeuch) but it's not illegal (just useless)
