Castor Oil is the DEVIL

2008 November 10

Ok…. I know I’m a bad bad girl.

I took the Castor Oil last night. Not only that… but DH convinced me to do 4oz (internet says 2-4oz). Let me tell you about it:

9:00pm: It is horrible to drink. DH put it with OJ and blended it for me which made it better….but it still really sucked. I sat in the bathroom with the glass of YUCK and had to force myself to drink it. I probably looked so stupid….my neck hurts from (not even kidding) trying to get away from myself because I didn’t want it. lol!


10:30pm
I felt fine. For about 2 hours. And then had the urge to pass gas while on the couch. I nearly did until I remember my nasty drink…. so I went to the bathroom and thank goodness I did. It wasn’t bad…. I felt good after that.


4:00am
Fast forward…I wake up with massive umm….bathroom problems we’ll say. Long story short….I used 1/2 a tub of baby wipes and a whole lot of diaper rash cream…on myself.

The only good things to come of this is that I did get some good contractions, the baby finally dropped and is centered and ready for his birth day (whenever that is!), and I probably have the cleanest colon ever. Shocked

Yeah…that the last time I listen to my family & friends and their advice on how to induce labour!!!

Don’t worry… I did not get dehydrated. I chugged water all night long with that in mind.

But now I have to go eat something really cheesey…. you know what they say about cheese. I hope they are right…. LOL!

    Ha, ha! I’ve been tempted a time ot two to use castor oil, but I’ve resisted. I’ve found that NOTHING really helps labor start until your body is ready anyway…
