How you extract castor oil from castor oil?

Oh, honey, extracting castor oil is a whole process. First, you gotta crush up those castor seeds real good to release the oil. Then, you can use either cold pressing or solvent extraction to get that precious liquid gold out. Just make sure you know what you're doing, or you might end up with a hot mess instead of a beauty elixir.

You are 36 weeks and been contracting now since 31 weekswas in labor at 31 do you think castor oil will work for me doc says its safe to have baby now i am tired of hurting what would you do?

I tried that with my first child. I don't suggest it. I didn't go into labor, but I crapped myself silly! Try pinching your nipples, or getting your man to do it. That releases hormones into your system that will trigger labor. I'm not saying it will work every time, but that's how I induced my labor with my last child.

How long will it take to get 100 effaced and to labor when you are 37 weeks 80 percent effaced and 2 cm dialated with your first child and you don't know the baby's station but he is in position?

YOu won't know all you can do is stay hydrated and go for a walk. Walking speeds up the process. Or try some old wives tales like eating spicy food. Your body will know when it the best time. Some people pop at 37 weeks, that is there done time. It can take days to weeks. It just depends on how your body dialates. I was in labor for 37 hours fully effaced and only dialated to three cm. with my first child. I ended up with a c-section. It wasn't to bad just as painful as labor. GOOD LUCK

Will Castro oil induce labor at 38 weeks?

I tried castor oil a few days ago at 38 weeks and 2 days. Biggest mistake of my life! I was convinced it would work so I took 4 tbs in OJ right before bed. Needless to say, I didn't get a wink of sleep except the few times I fell asleep on the toilet. I definitely don't recommend it. It's hard enough getting out of bed that far along, but getting out of bed that far along and praying that you don't poop on the way to the bathroom is a million times worse.

I just went to the health food store and bought black cohosh and blue cohosh. The guy there told me to take 1 dropperful of each three times a day and i would have him within the next 72 hours. Well, its about hour 36 and nothing yet, but hey, at least I'm not spending the night on the toilet. So I'm not sure if this works yet either, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

...in other words, stay away from castor oil!!

How can you be 4 and a half cm dilated effaced and in active labor but not be feeling any severely intense labor contractions?

Because you are very lucky! All women are different. Some dilate to higher numbers and 100% effaced and don't feel a thing. Just luck of the draw. It doesn't mean anything is wrong or that the labor will be better or worse in later stages. It just means that you are having a very easy labor up to now.
