    The idea behind it is that it stimulates the bowels to contract (hence the diarrhea everyone talks about) and because the are in a similar area, it *may* cause your uterus to start contracting as well.

    I'm not sure how true it is, but I heard that it can stimulate bubs bowels as well & cause them to pass meconium, which you definitely don't want. So I'd make sure if that one's true or not before trying it.
