If you took Castor Oil to induce labor...

    @PrincessBaby: labour was twelve hours but i was at 9cm for three hours before i was finally fully dilated! Still, it was at least shorter than the 27 hour labour i had with Miss A...

    I had a very frustrating couple of days trying to bring on labour and having patches of contractions before i just decided to let go and just wait for it to happen on its own.

    @T.H.O.U.: I've taken 2 doses and haven't had a single BM! I'm bleeding and lightly contracting from my membrane sweep but that's it. I'm betting she won't show up until we start the Cervadil tomorrow

    I'm following this thread closely! Since I always carry late I've wondered about castor oil -- maybe next time I will give it a go!

    @PrincessBaby: with my first I was 5 cm dilated at 39 weeks and I still was induced at 40 weeks! Induction still took 15 hours, but that's because she was in an awful position and took a while to come out.

    We are headed to the hospital. No mess from the castor oil. Totally fine there just having worsening contractions and the on-call doc said to come in & get checked. I hope it's legit bc these contractions have gotten pretty painful & I don't want to sit home and hurt like this!

    @Mrs. Sunshine: I hope things are happening for you!

    I'm already at a 9! We'll have a baby within an hour, the doc says! I got a check when we first got here, I was 3.5. In an hour and a half I went to a 9, the dr checked after I finally got my epidural. Crazy that I went that fast, sucky that I did it while waiting for a MF'ing epidural! Very comfy now, just waiting for the orders to push:)
