37 weeks and took castor oil?

Okay. Anyone you calls you an idiot needs to check themselves. Taking castor oil in the early weeks of pregnancy is dangerous. At 37 weeks it is okay. I took castor oil at 38 weeks, and although it didn't induce labour it did engage the baby's head. However, it was extremely painful - cramping for about 12 hours and I only took half the dosage. Don't leave your house. Stay near your toilet. And get someone to rub your back (it will help ease the cramping). Good luck with delivery!
