I was 41 1/2 wks with my 2nd baby, my Mum was staying but only for a limited time so i decided to try the castor oil. It worked extremely well for me!!! About 2 hrs after swallowing it, which took an effort not to throw up, i started getting pains. Two hours later she was born, it was all very fast, and a bit scary lol

My doctor told me that i would probably have gone into labour naturally not long after that anyway, the oil just sped things up.
