| A quote by pregnancy experts:
It was long-standing practice for midwives to administer 'OBE': Oil (castor), Bath and Enema, in an attempt to induce labour. Induction of labour, or augmentation/speeding up, is still sometimes used, artificially, but it is usually best to let nature take its course. There are, however, good reasons for trying to induce or speed up a labour, and these decisions should be in the hands of the health professionals.
It can be dangerous in some instances to try and interfere with the processes. The two old-fashioned methods of encouraging labour to start (administering an enema or drinking castor oil, both of which stimulate the bowels to produce prostaglandin) are no longer-recommended methods. No matter how desperate you are to start labour, don't try either of these. | 
Angry bowels, sounds scary!
