Will castor oil induce labor at ten weeks?

Castor oil induction is NOT recommend if you are not past your due date. There is must debate about if castor oil works, it is primarily a laxitive so be ready for diarrhea and nausea if you use caster oil. It works for some and doesn't for others. Generally premature induction is NOT a good idea unless thesigns health risk to mother or child.

HOW LONG AFTER YOU DRINK CASTOR OIL WILL YOU GO INTO LABOR?

  • Although castor oil doesn't always work, when and IF it does, it will usually take between 6-8 hours to start contractions. The diarrehea usually lasts 3-6 hours. If it's been longer than that, chances are you'll just have a really sore bum that will be in dire need of a tucks pad.
  • This is an old wives tale that this will work. My sister did the same thing, she drank that and even walked and walked no labor. The one thing that it can do is make your baby have a bowel movement while your baby is still inside and this will make him or her very sick. I would consult your doctor about this.
  • Castor oil does not work, but neither does it make your baby poo. It may be taken by someone who is overdue and babies who are overdue are more likely to have their bowels open.
  • Caster oil CAN work, by giving you diarrhoea - which irritates the smooth muscle lining your intestines, which in turn irritates your nearby smooth muscle in your womb, and starting contractions. It does NOT always succeed in starting labour, and may only give you horrible diarrhoea, so I wouldn't suggest you try it - but it sounds a bit late for that.

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 :)

Why is your baby not growing properly at 34 weeks?

First as the mother you must be taking your prenatal vitamins and eating properly. Which means when your thirsty you should drink, hungry you should eat or snack. Eating is what keeps your baby growing and eating is very important. Keeping iron up and drinking lots of fluids. If you have been doing all of these things then it is meant for you to have a smaller then average baby, if not at this point you are going to have him/her soon so just take the best care of your child once they are here. You can only do so much as a person so just take care of yourself eat right and do what you can.

How does a baby get oxygen once the waters break?

The oxygen still comes through the placenta and umbilical cord just as it has all pregnancy. The cord and placenta are within the bag and attached to the mother so nothing changes in that regard. The supply of oxygen is only cut off from this source when the cord is cut, after the baby has been born for a while, or if the cord or placenta are damaged or constricted.
