5 days overdue and here we go! Inducing with castor oil first to see if I can get these contractions going. I've had some amnionic fluid today and a little bloody show with some mucus plug. I REALLY hope she comes out by midnight!
Has anyone else done castor oil?
And how long before you had contractions when you saw bloody show?
Why do you want to do this?
Are you weighing risks? (if not: be aware that induction is more dangerous than spontaneous laboring)
I used castor oil! Actually exactly two years ago lol (My son's Bday is today!) It worked for me, you just have to drink waayyy more than the bottle says, and it is really painful! Your insides(intestines and such) will start contracting along with contractions from your belly, and it could cause vommitting eeew lol I didn't throw up at all and I actually didn't mind the shits, its just the pain that it gives you, no fun. I was 4 days late when I took it and had my son 27 hours later(normal time for a first mommy birth). This time I know Im not going to use it just because I dont want any induction at all, but it definatly works! GL If you have any questions feel free to ask=]
I won't take the risk so I've never done it. Not even at 15 days past due
yes i did it!!! i was contracting off and on during the day because me and my fiance had sex but the only way it helped was honestly doggy..!! sorry maybe tmi but it does work.. had sex at 12 started contracting a lil and i walked an walked and walked none stop 330 went to see my dr i was 3 cm she told me to walk all day so i did.. i was literally walking around my living room watching the bachelor lol.. by 10 i was super tired so i layed down and my fiance came home from work and brought casto oil i took that at midnight ate, i literally stuffed my face and we hadd sex again the same way. as soon as we were done i went to pee and i was bleeding and contracting like crazy.! got to the hospital at 4 in the morning and didnt have him till 4:44 pm but it was my first so i was in labor for 15 hrs.
