, I am 40 weeks in on the 30th so only two days to go and have only JUST thought and looked up castor oil, I would definitely read up on it because at 36 weeks your baby is not ready otherwise pregnancy would only be for 36 weeks.
If there is something wrong the doctor will talk to you about your options and you might definitely likely look at ANOTHER way to bring on the labor, but castor oil... it is disgusting!!! took it yesterday and has not done anything for me other than make me vomit and feel tired... It may work for you but to be HONEST I really wouldn't be selfish and take the castor oil, your lil one will come when they are ready to come... You can cause fetal distress and more... and is not recommended unless you have spoken to your midwife... at the stage you are at I have heard of a product called Pre-Birth which you can get at any Health Pharmacy, once again look it up but it is used earlier on and later in your pregnancy your midwife can do what is known as a stretch and sweep to help you along, but just ask them about it at your next appointment...
All the best :)
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that castor oil induces labor or causes your water to break. It is not recommended to use castor oil to try to bring on labor, as it can cause dehydration, diarrhea, and potential complications for both the mother and the baby. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before attempting any methods to induce labor.
Yes it is normal to get lower back pain, after drinking castor oil to go into labbor.
Yes, it certainly can.
A doctor will never tell you to drink Castor Oil. There are no studies that show Castor Oil will induce labor or help your baby flip from the breech position.
Castor oil is a laxative not used to induct labor. As the labor progresses and contraction becomes strong cervical dilatation will increase.
You are not allowed to take aspirin when pregnant and no it can not.
my cousin drank it on her due date and went in to labour a few hours later,a friend of mine also took it a week before her due date but didnt go into labour just had cripling pain in stead.
yes, castor oil on scrambled eggs will help to induce labor. (I know because my Mom was overdue & she tried it and it worked !!! )
No. It is more likely just to give you vomiting and diarrhea, which you really don't want during labour! It is a myth that castor oil brings on labour and is strongly advised against by doctors and midwives. Besides that, it tastes horrible
You can cause yourself to go into preterm labor is you take Castor Oil before you are 30 weeks pregnant. It is suggested that you do not drink this while you are pregnant.
No. Castor oil can in some cases help start labor when you are fully gone.
While castor oil can technically induce labor, it isn't recommended. Castor oil can cause dehydration and other unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and vomiting.
