castor oil

I had my 39 week check up today....still fingertip dilated. The baby did drop more though and is now at -1 station. My midwife recommended trying some Castor oil to help get things started. I took it about 4 hours ago and so far just some cramping and diarrhea. I figure it was worth a try - hopefully something starts happening soon!

I hope it happens soon and you don't have to take any more of that yucky stuff.

Oooh exciting, how much are you meant to take?? I think its meant to cause the runs which will irritate your cervix and possibly bring on labour. Hope it brings on the bubby!
