Best Answer

olive oil softens up the soft tissue and can make it easier for the baby to move downward but it does not really bring on labor.

It however is very effective in preventing tearing when it is messaged into the cervix and surrounding areas starting a few weeks before delivery.

I personally have tried this and it works. My third child was my biggest and the only one iused olive oil with and the only one i did not tear with!

Can i use paraffin instead of caster oil to induce labor?

NO you are supposed to drink Castro oil to induce labor because it is a laxative that is supposed to make your muscles contract and put you into labor, but it doesn't work and neither does drinking kayro syrup, you will just be on the toilet for the next two days. paraffin is wax not oil. You could stimulate your nipples with ice to release oxytoxin in your body which is the hormone that causes labor. Also having an oragasm releases those chemicals.
