Yes, but don't drink it.
Vegetable oil can't induce labor.
no
No lol
yes, castor oil on scrambled eggs will help to induce labor. (I know because my Mom was overdue & she tried it and it worked !!! )
While castor oil can technically induce labor, it isn't recommended. Castor oil can cause dehydration and other unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and vomiting.
Castor oil is a laxative and can cause cramping that can induce labor. Castor oil is not advised to be used by pregnant women.
Yes, it certainly can.
Castor oil is a laxative not used to induct labor. As the labor progresses and contraction becomes strong cervical dilatation will increase.
A doctor will never tell you to drink Castor Oil. There are no studies that show Castor Oil will induce labor or help your baby flip from the breech position.
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.
Sex. Yes, it has been shown that sex has helped induce womans labour. It's not sex itself that helps you go into labor. It's orgasims. With my 2nd child what made me go into labor right away was having my membranes stripped from my Doctor.
You should not induce labor. Only a qualified obstetrician is knowledgeable enough to be the one that jumpstarts the process. If your body isn't already in labour, there is a reason for this, probably because it isn't ready. Please don't take this into your own hands. Castor oil often just causes vomiting and diarrhea, which isn't something you want during labour. It is also proven not to be effective at inducing labour.
Drinking vinegar to induce labor is an old wives tale and will not work. It is not recommended to try to induce labor by any methods.
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.
The midwife will tell you. Only use Castor oil if they tell you to. It gives you diarrhea and it also gives the baby diarrhea so it can end badly.
