Black and blue cohosh evening primrose oil, and castor oil exsperiences?
I tried Black Cohosh and it did give me contractions, but nothing strong enough to bring on labor-still trying it a little but I'm backing off on it because I don't want to hurt the baby. Evening Primrose used as a suppository seemed to soften my cervix a bit and the baby has started to move down a lot. I tried Castor Oil too and OH MY GOD, it was HORRIBLE! Not only didn't it work, but it was the nastiest stuff EVER! I'm 40 weeks exactly. One thing that I noticed that has seemed to make a difference is eating raw pineapple followed by Dole Pineapple juice. You're supposed to eat 3 entire pineapples and then a glass of the juice every hour. It has been bringing on stronger contractions and it won't hurt the baby.
Reply:i took castor oil on my original due date i will never ever do that again i had such bad contractions for 4 days it was horrible i was in and out of the hospital it hurt so bad i was in labor just not progressing it was not worth it believe me just let nature run its course it will happen sex makes it happen faster too
Reply:Please don't take the cohosh, it can be dangerous even late in pregnancy (the original reason for taking it was to induce abortions early on).



As for the castor oil, I just had horrible diarrhea and abdominal cramping. It didn't help at all and I wouldn't ever try it again. It made me feel more miserable (if that was possible).



The primrose oil I also took and I think that it helped to soften my cervix a bit, I started taking it at 38 weeks. I don't know that it made me go into labor any faster but once I did having softened up a bit helped.
