Can castor oil cause my unborn baby to have her first poop in the womb? i'm 2 hours and 15 minutes from being 40 weeks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Castor oil does not cause the baby to pass meconium. But why would you be taking it? It has been suggested that it may start labor, but this is not true. It will only give you diarrhea and make you miserable, so I would advise against it. Talk to your OB.
