I took castor oil for my daughter, and when she was born, she had swollowed maconium. she had a 5 minute lck of oxygen to the brain and had to be air lifted to another hospital, where i could not follow. She was in the Neonatal Intensive care Unit for 7 days, her lungs were filled with maconium and she was litterally drowning. Keep in mind that castor oil is a laxitive substance, and if you are pooping, so is she. and that is what maconium is, it is excretion. she is 6 now, and has a learning and comprehension problem. It was all my fault because i could not wait. My advise, get a breast pump, and pump each breast for 15 minutes each, 2 times an hour until contractions get strong and affective. I did it for my son, and had him 4 hours later with no complications. Studies proove that Nipple stimulation is the most effective, and most harmless way to naturally induce and onset labor. Good Luck!
