Although there is little scientific, peer-reviewed data to support the claim that castor oil can hasten the onset of labor, there is plenty of anecdotal information that it does. Many childbirth professionals attest to its efficacy. However, inducing labor is not something to do before week 40. I understand that you want to get the show on the road, but you're rushing things.
No. It is more likely just to give you vomiting and diarrhea, which you really don't want during labour! It is a myth that castor oil brings on labour and is strongly advised against by doctors and midwives. Besides that, it tastes horrible
Castor oil does not give you contractions directly, it gives you diarrhea. Those cramps are believed to sometimes bring on labor but usually it's just you sitting on the toilet with the runs. Sp stay away from the oil and start taking walks, have sex and eat spicy food if you want to try to induce by yourself. They think it's better for the body to start by itself though. Be patient.
No. While long-rumored that castor oil could flush any and everything out of the body, it simply isn't so. What it will do, tho, is put you on the toilet in horrible pain for hours.
Flushing ANY solid objects down the toilet radically increases the chance of a plugged toilet.
No thick toilet paper is not responsible for clogging the toilet, Toilet paper of any thickness is designed to flush away.
To Prevent The Chance Males From Splashing On The Seat.
Because it is disgusting.
If you as an expecting mother take this, the chances are that it might induce labor. castor oil doesn't cause contractions, it casues diareah. all the tummy churning, cramping and dehydration equals enough stress to bring on labor. it's REALLY not safe. The baby is fairly well protected in the womb. Even diseases like AIDS virus is not commonly known to go through the placenta and infect the baby that way. Castor oil works differently and puts the entire body under stress. Stress is not good for a mother to be. In many cases this might provoke abortion or induce labor. Regards.
It's not a sure science, in that case only doctors would give it to you. Castor oil does not give you contractions directly, it gives you diarrhea. Those cramps are believed to sometimes bring on labor but usually it's just you sitting on the toilet with the runs. So stay away from the oil and start taking walks, have sex and eat spicy food if you want to try to induce by yourself. They think it's better for the body to start by itself though. Be patient.

It is very unlikley (near on impossible) you will go into labour at 28 weeks, Castor oil stimulates the bowel and causes dihorreah which in late stages of pregnancy can trigger off contractions, At 28 weeks your baby isn't developed fully and will need intensive pediatric care to survive, there are also a percentage of babies that will not survive at 28 weeks as they are just not strong enough to fight off and infections they may attract . It is not wise to take castor oil at all during pregnancy, if you are struggling to go to the toilet and want to take it for that reason, try drinking lots of fruit juice and lots of fibre rich foods , that should help x
A lot of women have used castor oil to induce labor (including me). What it does is cause your bowels to cramp witch in turn can irritate the uterus and cause contractions that may or may not lead to labor. Some people say that taking castor oil can cause the baby to have a bowl movement witch is harmful to baby, but the oil it self does not cross over to the placenta and lots of women have had success from using it. So it is totally your choice way your options, and remember to walk walk walk! and if at all possible have sex it is the best way to induce labor at home!
