Question

Castor Oil?


Has anyone used it and had it work? i used it with my last bubs but that was 5 years ago it worked then didnt give me the runs. so bubs must of been ready was thinkin of using it again if i go over but was wondering who else has been successful with.? i know some people say its not safe coz bubs could have first bowel movement but mw said it doesnt cross the placenta so therefore wont harm bubs and just to keep fluids up if i do try it.

What do you have to do, like how much do you take? My mil told me to drink a whole bottle mixed with orange juice?!! But that seems abit excessive to me?

But then my mil takes a load of bollocks half the time!!

I def can't see it being a whole bottle. Maybe 2-3 table spoons max. How much time before taking the castor oil and the onset of labour Katie? If you can recall.
