Castor oil induction is NOT recommend if you are not past your due date. There is must debate about if castor oil works, it is primarily a laxitive so be ready for diarrhea and nausea if you use caster oil. It works for some and doesn't for others. Generally premature induction is NOT a good idea unless thesigns health risk to mother or child.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Don't use castor oil to try and induce labor as the side effects are not worth it, plus there isn't any actual proof that is will work. If you are looking for safe and effective, painless way to induce labor at home then maternity acupressure may be for you. Check out this website, http://yourmaternityresource.com/category/maternityacupreesure/ I bought the book, only $29 and it worked great, well worth the cost of the book. I was 41 weeks along, the best part it actually helped reduce the pain of labor and it was well worth the cost of the book to finally meet my beautiful baby boy. I would suggest that you check with your OB/GYN before trying to induce labor at only 39 weeks though.

If you want to clean your colon take 2 table spoons of castor oil early in the morning (5am) and rest for 2 hours. At about 7am drink 2 glasses of warm water and rest again. Drink at least 1 glass of warm water every hour till you stool becomes like water. By about 1pm the process would have finished. Eat a very light meal of boiled vegetables and watery rice for the rest of the day.
