Since castor oil doesn't pass through the bloodstream, there is no way for the doctor to tell if you've taken it or not. But I would tell him just to be on the safe side. Hopes this helps! She may wonder why you have diarrhoea (yeuch) but it's not illegal (just useless)

It's rare it works but he will see that you've had diarrhea since your bum will be red and sore. If you are really unlucky it will work and you will be in labor with diarrhea.

Don't try this.

no... its only going to work around your due date if your baby is ready to be born anyway, they dont recomend it as it will give you the runs and who wants to try deal with labour and the runs... very unlikely to work at your due date let alone that early on. do not try and induce labour at 28 weeks as your baby is not delvoloped and maynot survive!


What natural methods induce labor?

One of the few natural ways to stimulate labor that actually works is sexual intercourse. Seminal fluid contains prostaglandins, the same hormonal substances used by doctors to for cervical preparation and stimulation of contractions. Sexual intercourse should be avoided if the membranes are ruptures (bag of waters has broken) or if there has been a problem with bleeding in pregnancy (placenta previa, etc.). If you are not sure if it is safe, ask your doctor or midwife. Folk remedies should probably be avoided. Castor oil generally just causes diarrhea and abdominal pain without actually bringing on labor. It can also cause dehydration, which is not good for either other or baby. **Actually, while castor oil causes all of the symptoms above, they have been used by mid-wives for decades and are effective. The castor oil stimulates the intestines to contract which stimulates the uterus to contract as well.** Packaged herbal supplements are not regulated by any agency, and one never knows what is in them. Sоme have been shown to contain the wrong herbs, dangerous herbs, different concentrations than those listed, and (especially those from China) heavy metal and pesticide contamination. Other folk remedies/suggestions include walking (not been shown to be effective, but useful as a comfort measure), nipple stimulation (minimal data, generally does not support, but may be helpful), and acupuncture (no data). They're all probably safe alternatives, although not necessarily effective.

38 weeks pregnant 2 cm dilated how much castor oil should you take to induce your labor?

At 35 weeks why would you want to hurry things along? You will birth a preemie with complications if you deliver now. It is unsafe to induce or encourage labor before 39 weeks unless you have specific medical complications that make continuing the pregnancy unsafe.


Is using caster oil to induce labor healthy?

Castor oil is really not recommended to try and induce labour. It often causes vomiting and diarrhea, which isn't something you want during labour. It is also proven not to be effective at inducing labour. Really, the best thing to do is wait for your body to go into labour naturally. If your body is not already in labour, then there is a reason for that, and messing with it isn't a good idea. I know many many women that have taken castor oil to induce their labors (around their due dates of course) and not only did they never have a problem BUT, they also started having contractions anywhere between 2-4 hours later with a baby following shortly there after. Also, I'm 9 1/2 months pregnant now, and every doctor that I've seen as well as my mother (who has been an RN for 26yrs) has told me that if I want to try castor oil "Go ahead". It can not and will not do any harm except cause cramping. It's your decision. Please do not try to induce your own labor with castor oil. It will cause increased cramping and uncomfortableness for you and not worth it. When the time is right, the baby will come. Do not rush it, take this time to rest and prepare yourself for the baby. My sister is an OBGYN. She said that this is an absolute idiotic thing for a woman to do.


Does blacktea help induce labor?

What can you do to induce labor at home safely?

Natural way just helping at hand, it wont work if your body isnt ready. Recommended if you already at 38 weeks, before that it will do nothing or will not work. You must do your own way before trying it, to know the risk and taking correct ammount and not to overstrain yourself with labor inducing activity. There are about 40 natural ways of inducing labor. I will explan some that most exciting, for the rest, you can search on the internet. 1. Bouncing your body at birth or exercise ball-spreadi ng you legs and move up down will help your baby move down. 2. Bumpy car ride- sometimes your baby need jiggle. 3. Dancing - but dont do too drastic. 4. Massage - find therapist that qualified with pregnant woman. many of them know the good spot to induce labor. 5. Nipple stimulation - needs to be done about an hour at a time. 6. Orgasm - orgasm cause contraction for your uterus. in some parts it feels so good. you can do it by having sex or anyway safe. many women prefer this way :D 7. Spicy food - it is a very well known labor starter. 8. Sperm - not to eat! you can having sex and let the sperm moving to help ripen and dilate your servix. This is very good starts toward getting ready for labor. That just the common enjoyable way of inducing labor. There are another way like accupressur, castor oil, rasberry leaf and etc that worth to try. But dont worry if natural ways not give any effect. at the end your doctor will do it chemically or mechanically for you :)


Will castor oil induce labor at 36 weeks?

Caster oil may help bring on labour for some women - not everyone though. A normal pregnancy length is considered to be 38-40 weeks. Therefore if you are only 36.4 weeks, I would suggest you wait just a little bit longer. Wait until you are 38 weeks. It is more likely to give you colic and diarrhoea. Answer: My advice... dont do it. I tried it thinking it would move things faster, it did, but not the labor. I sat on the toilet for hours after drinking it. When all was settled, I still went another 2 weeks before going into labor for real. Just wait it out, enjoy the pece and quiet, and he chance to sleep :)
