Pregnancy: well taking castor oil will certainly give you diarrhea. This may or may not put you in labor. It will make you really uncomfortable! I would imagine this is your first pregnancy. I recommend you ask your OB or FP who is following your pregnancy. You have to be pretty close to either going into labor yourself or being induced. At most you have a little over a week to go. Babies always come out
