How much castor oil should I use to induce labor?

Answer by  Richard88 (391)

You probably should not use any. The effect is indirect, and disputed. The body's natural chemical that controls labor initiation is oxytocin, which is produced by nipple stimulation.

The maximum recommended does for castor oil is two ounces. It is a laxative, the bowel and uterus tend to impact each other so don't take more.

First of all, castor oil does not induce labor. Secondly, do not induce labor by yourself, consult a doctor. Without medical help, you could harm yourself and the baby.
