A member asked:
Im 9weeks pregnant found out some evil person has been putting castor oil in my food will it harm my unborn child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Having no symptoms?: Castor oil is available in drugstores. Some people use it as a laxative. If a person has not been pooping excessively, then she probably did not get too much castor oil. Haven't heard of pregnancy-related problems from a little castor oil.
