It is an old wives tale that it is a labor inducer. I however can assure you from personal experience that it is only a laxative. I tried it with my first son and I got so scared in the middle of the runs tha I called my OBGYN and he just "hee hawed" on the phone! He said it was what I got for trying to rush things. It didn't hurt any thing but my pride. I was cleaned out for a few days!! Baby came 2 weeks later. Right on my due date. Good luck. Baby needs to be in womb 40 weeks. Walk and stay active if you want to induce labor.
I have heard that it is okay.... I will try to find you some links so that you can check for yourself :)

no..... not at all! your baby barely weighs 2 lbs. and would certainly not be able to breathe on its own. i would wait until at least 36 wks to try the castor oil. and longer if you can. i know it is hard to wait, the anticipation can sometimes get the best of us. But instead of trying to get that baby out so early, re-direct your energy into something like.... getting the baby's room ready, or shopping for cute little outfits. 32-34 weeks is not long enough for your baby to be ready to meet you.
1 Tbs. Castor Oil in a gulp of O.J. followed by the juice of a boiled grapefruit. Bring 1 quart of water and sliced grapefruit to a boil for 15 minutes. Mash the grapefruit with a potato masher and strain the liquid off and drink it down. You can drink it warm or cold, with or without sugar or honey. If your body is ready for labor this is known to work.
