castor oil!!!

Its my due date tomorrow and my midwife is giving me a sweep which i really dont want to have but im so desperate to meet my litle man, anyway i wanted to try and move things along today so took 2oz of castor oil with orange juice and ive been sick as a dog all day and havent been off the toilet (sorry if this is too much info) have a horrible ache in my pelvic area now but cant go to the toilet, is this supposed to happen? and just wondered if anyone has used castor oil and if it has worked xx

Yeah thats pretty much what its for, it's suppost to make you clear out in hope that it triggers the labour off! I think 2 0z might have over done it a little, lol I thought was a spoonful???

Thats definiatly one thing I am NOT trying...I had a friend do it and she was on the toilet for 2 days with nothing happening except bad stomach cramps from the oil making her tummy sore! Hope you feel better soon!
