A member asked:
Im 39 weeks pregnant today and wondering if it would be safe for both me and the baby if i took 1 tbs of castor oil to try and induce labor.

OH NO!!!: Please CALL YOUR OB before you do experiment like this EVER!. And why do you want to Induce Labor? There are better ways and monitored settings to induce Labor. There are some medical conditions where one need to Induce Labor before 40 weeks. Womb is the safest Place for the Baby to grow and let it rest as long as it can . DO NOT TRY THIS FOOLISH THING PLEASE
