  • You really won't know until the 'cramps' come regularly and increase in intensity. I tried castor oil and all it did was give me violent runs, and left me dehydrated and exhausted. Be careful with it. If it doesn't work your body isn't ready for labor, I would try evening primrose oil pills in your cervix that works better.

  • you'll know. theres a HUGE difference in the run's kind of cramping and labour cramping/contractions.

    castor oil didn't work for me - made me puke for a day and a half, and I had the runs for even longer. I was exhausted and dehydrated by the time I was 'better'.
