...and is also very dangerous.

the baby comes quicker if the baby aint ready then nothing will happen if it was so dangerous why is it sold to pregnant women ?

Um, it;s sold to anyone. You buy it over the counter. My 4 year old could buy a bottle

and it says right on it, to get advice from a DOCTOR before taking it

There are numerous studies that say Castor Oil isn't safe to take while pregnant. It can cause the baby to pass a bowel movement in utero and aspirate it.

I just bought a 6 pack for my husband last week. That's not dangerous, right?

Nothing says welcome to the world more than bathing in your own smurf!

I'm due the first also but I'm not high risk. My SO is annoying the hell out of me saying he's ready for this little boy to come. lol. Anyway, my water only broke with my first baby. I had a huge taco salad that night with tons of salsa and then went for a hour long walk which included a hill or two. When I got back I spent some time on my exercise ball bouncing and moving my hips. I was pretty disappointed when I put my pj's on ( I was 4 days overdue) but as soon as i leaned over to sit on my bed my water broke.

For clarification there are no studies that show that castor oil is harmful during pregnancy ( study shows not harmful, not helpful ). People have hypothesized it, however there have been no conclusive studies. And in the interest of real comparison, there ARE studies showing the danger of every other induction drug out there. The most severe documented side effects being fetal and maternal death. Coincidentally the side effects of medical induction meds are also passing meconium, fetal distress and dehydration (go figure). Castor oil has been used in the natural birth community, pretty much back to the use of herbs as medicine (ancient egypt) http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/05/just-a-spoonful-of-castor-oil.html
any artificial induction method is going to have some dangers, you are asking your body to do something it wasn't ready for. But when medically necessary they are great. Inductions shouldn't happen unless overdue or medically needed obviously. And the problem with castor oil is dumb-asses will take it WAY earlier than they should be inducing babies. So its difficult for it to be so easily accessible. But scientifically speaking there has been no correlation between castor oil and the passing of meconium during labor. Why does it have a bad rap? There is no proof as to why, but it would make sense though for the drug companies could feel a little threatened by something that could induce labor without as many dangerous side effects.

To be fair there has been one incidence of correlation between a mother taking castor oil and a uterine rupture occurring. However it is impossible to determine causation in a single case (and pitocin has actually been determined to directly contribute to uterine rupture in women who have never had sections).
