After having contractions on and off since Wednsday I took the plunge and took caster oil tonight. I'm dialated 4.5 effaced to at least a 70% (this is what I was two weeks ago), and have had one false labor trip to the hospital (on Thursday). My dh is working an hour away right now and all my other help works during the week so we decided to give it a try tonight and see if it will jump start things for real

Re: Well I did it RE: Caster oil
I took castor oil twice with my last pregnancy. I had one big bathroom blow out (not painful at all though) about 3 hours after. Then contractions every 4-5 mins for 5 hours and then they puttered out. However, your cervix was much more favorable than mine, so you have better odds of it working.

Re: Well I did it RE: Caster oil
Take a nice long brisk walk if you are able. I did that and Castor oil and boy did it get things going. I ended up taking a second dose at bedtime, later the same day as the first dose, and I literally woke up the next morning because of heavy labor. Luckily I had planned a home birth because it all went very fast. I've heard that if it's not time, then it just won't do anything but if the time is right then it will get you on track. Good luck!
