I'm 38 weeks and i have had 90mls of castor oil i'm 2cm dilated could this bring on labour, i feel selfish now i have done this but i'm so fed up ?

Castor Oil: No harm, however I am not aware of any study that shows it helps. Do not feel guilty, I have not talked to any woman at 38 weeks who does not want it to be OVER! Best of luck, and remember you are near the end. I hope your delivery is smooth.
