Caster Oil
I am 39+2 days pregnant, I’ve had 2 sweeps, second one being yesterday, my cervix is soft & 2cm dilated. This will be my second baby, first I was induced with so really trying my best to kick start labour as naturally as I can. I keep seeing videos of people taking a tablespoon of caster oil and it kick starting things? What are people’s thoughts on this…?

@Mia any particular reason why? Just seems odd some midwives do recommend it late stages 🤔
@Lauren if you do some research the negatives outweigh the positives. I’m sure you’d be ok but I personally wouldn’t risk it! X
Don't do it, I heard it is really dangerous and not likely to work. I wouldn't worry until you go over your due date by like a week (unless you have other medical reasons to worry about)
