If it makes you feel better, I've tried the castor oil and it did nothing for me. I'm almost 39 weeks and dilated at a 2. The oil did nothing. Try eating pineapple, or something really spicy. You might have better luck than I did. I've tried castor oil, pineapple, spicy food, walking, jumping jacks (they say the pressure from jumping up and down starts labor). Nothing has helped; still waiting!

I think I might try jumping jacks. I know pineapple doesn't do anything because that's been my pregnancy craving. And my castor oil experiment was a failure. Sex is out of the question since my husband is freaking about the baby's head being so low. We feel your pain, Sally, and it only gets worse until it finally comes. >_<
