Easier way to induce labor other than castor oil?

Castor Oil won't work, just makes you feel sick. Try walking A LOT. This helped with me. Good luck.

do not use castor oil... unless you want to go into the labor room with more comming out besides the baby. I never understand that, who wants cramps and craps when going into labor. It doesn't help.

Sex, walking those are safe things to do. Do not eat anything strange or drink anything strange., The last thing you want is to be sick in a labor room. THe baby will come when it is ready, do not force it. OH lord do NOT eat spicy food.

Good Luck.

Best to let the baby come in his own time. if he is staying in, it might be because he is not ready to come out. Please tell your friends and take note yourself that castor oil is not wise. Castor oil comes from the castor bean which contains Ricin. This is highly dangerous and causes severe gastrointestinal problems when used in more than normal doses or more than one time. This is why one use gives you the "craps". Any more than that you are looking at some serious issues. Please just let the baby come in his own due time.

Ew...don't drink castor oil...it will make you have diarrhea and vomit which will dehydrate you. Try going for a nice long walk. Nipple stimulation....google it. How long are you overdue?

only if you are 38weeks pregnant or more... nipple stimulate...this releases the bodies natural octocin and makes the uterus contract. u rub your nipple(just one breast) for 1 minute then wait 2 minutes and then repeat this many times, it may take a couple of hours. you can also have sex... the sperm helps to dilate the cervix, and walk alot.. this is not a safe practice if you do it before the baby is full term.

I heard all sorts of old wise tales, and believe you me .. I tried everyone of them. I heard to eat spicy foods, I ate jalapano's. I heard to walk a lot. I walked ALL day long. I heard to gallop. So galloping I went, all around the yard over and over. I was one week over-due, and they were going to induce on monday. Two days after my busy day of trying every one of the old wise tales known to man, I went into Labor.

Who knows, if it was nature or if it really worked.

*Hugs* Your little one will be here soon. =]
