I am 39 weeks pregnant today with my second child and want to know the same thing!! With my first i tried castor oil at 39 and 40 weeks and just got the runs BIG TIME but no baby, also tried walking, bumpy 4wheeler rides, eating a whole pineapple and sex every day, but nothing happened. At 40 weeks and 2 days i heard of acpressure and did that for 3 hours from 530 til 830 pm while watching tv. At 2am that morning i had my show, mild contractions all day then hard labour all night and the next day, had a healthy 9lb12 girl at 2pm the day after (36 hours start to finish). This time i will get a sweep in 5 days time and take caulophyllum and do the accupressure, as my baby is already in the 9 pound mark and posterior... Altho i will still do a bit of accupressure this whole week to hopefully dialate cervix a bit, and am taking EPO and inserting it "up there" every night. Press the webby bit in between finger and thumb quite deep and hard for 1 minute and stop for a minute, do this for a few hours and it might work... or Google it...

Normally they would only induce labour if they have suspected a problem with you or the baby these can be a range of problems. Or they would induce labour if you have had previous babies which have been too big to deliver and caused tearing. Therefore they may induce you early so you have a normal sized baby.

Can Castor oil induce labor when your 38 weeks pregnant?

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.
