I don’t recomnend any ‘natural’ ways to bring on labour. They all come with different degrees of danger, to yourself and your baby. Best to let the doctors deal with things. I trust it all went well?

oh yes. it absolutely needs to be food grade. here. to help you know about pure castor oils htps://www.castoroilreview.com/products/pure-castor-oil/

To Joanna: having a castor oil that is “pure” is not enough. it needs to be food grade and that’s the most important part. else, you’ll just poison yourself and the baby.

thanks for the tips guys. yeah I’ve already scheduled an appointment with my doctor. just asking around for more information.

even if its pure castor oil it does not guarantee the safety of the baby. your best course of action is go to your doctor first.

to mom257690: most people say that pure castor oil is effective. but I also see some actual medical pros that discourage the use of castor oil for inducing labor. take this one for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCuVvqkc3DE
my take is, it depends on person to person. but I’d most likely stick to the meds.

i’ve been having the same jitters and I also find a lot of mention of castor oil when trying to induce labor. is it safe?

Nice blog! i’ve been meaning to use castor oil for my eyelashes. i have a spare mascara wand that i can use. would it be better than using qtips? thanks!

I went ten days overdue and can safely say nothing works. Nothing at all.

I had a bunch of nurse friends – and they told me to take some oil I cannot remember the name of – had my son the next day

I would not swallow anything to bring labour on, particularly castor oil. Activity is probably the best way to go. Would love to hear how you went

So I know you would have had bubba by now! Congrats but for any other mum reading this in the same position try nipple stimulation! I tried it on a sat night and Sunday night I had my bubba! I wasn’t even overdue!

Orgasms
when you orgasm it releases oxytocin which causes labour to start.
when you are medically induced they use a synthetic version of oxytocin

Rasberry Leaf tea and also a naturpath can help you with acupanture and other treatments.

I am so glad it worked for some my two were to stubborn after trying alot of different things both labors had to be medically induced. Stealing some I hadn’t heard of for next time

Stealing some of these tips I do not want to be overdue haha im already so uncomfortable

Thanks for all the advice ladies!!!! I tried everything, except sex- was just too painful. I had my baby this morning yayyyy avoided induction I don’t know if it was coincidence but I had 1 evening primrose oil by mouth and inserted 2, then went straight to bed, my waters broke 3 hours later!!

My Mother and Grand Mother were given warm Castor Oil and the contractions started with in a few hours. (May not work for every one.) Look up http://castoroil.org/castor-oil-to-induce-labor/ and read what they say. Best of luck!

They say raspberry tea and go for a big walk. Goodluck I was there too and yes it hard being overdue! Goodluck hopefully by the time you read this you are there having bub.

Was told to go on a long vigorous walk. Good luck with the baby delivery. They are always worth the pain.
