@raecelestek Me too!!! when are you due????


@mollyandrea1 i’m 37 weeks too! :O)


I had the castor oil last night (unfortunately I hadn’t seen this video) and it kept me up all night! it hasn’t work for me yet probably since i’m 37 weeks but we though I was ready because of simptoms I was having. The drinking wasn’t that bad because we warmed it up so it wouldn’t be so thick and mixed it with warm orange juice and since it doesn’t have a flavor it was easy to drink.


I have been trying and I am 40 weeks. I am scared to the castor oil and I am not dilated enough to get induced if I was I would have been getting induced tomorrow. My doctors said maybe next week I will be able to get induced but he said no castor oil it has no effect on labor. I am just disappointed. Today is my due date and no baby yet : ( I have not tried having sex due to certain circumstances.


do not use the Black or Blue Cohosh if you have or have had a bleeding disorder it can cause major bleeding.
