Q: I need help with trying to induce labor

Has any body tried castor oil to induce labor? I am so ready for this baby to come out but I wanna make sure it is safe to take castor oil. My husband wont have sex with me due to being so so close to deliver. Can any one help with inducing labor?

Sex has always started labor for me - unintentionally. Id never take Castor Oil, but I'm weird, I kinda don't like the idea of crapping all over the place during labor, so taking something that would give me the runs and maybe start labor sounds like a complete disaster as far as im concerned. LOL

My sister tried this without her doctor telling her it was okay and CPS was at the door after delivery because castor oil is really bad for baby with the first bowel movement in the womb and whatnot. I really do think that you should try the other forms. Much healthier and most likely tastes so much better. lol And just an FYI, the cps thing may have only been in Idaho where she lived. I don't know about the other states.

I have a list of things you can try but your baby will come when babys ready! You can try eating lots of fresh pineapple, black licorious, drink red rasp leaf tea (i am starting this at 34 weeks to help tone uterine to help with labor later), EPO, climbing stairs, walking, jumping jacks, stimulate your nipples, spicy foods, and apply accupressure to your ankles... I was also told if you go to a spa and get a nice foot massage with your pedicure sometimes they can help with inducing labor. Goodluck!! If you try any of this and it works please message me and let me know :)
