Can you take castor oil at 37 weeks?

ok that would be um nooooooooo and a nasty way to make you be in the bathroom all day, i was 38 weeks pregnant with my son and i thought i was in labor so i called my mom in ny i am in fl and she flys down. well false alarm.. so her bright idea was to drink castor oil oh my goooooooooodness it was nasty i had to mix it with another drink, so my mom says i want you to have this baby before i have to go home lets go to the mall and you can walk. well she walked and i was in the bathroom, from what i understand and i have had four babies.. sex is a great way if and i mean if the baby is ready. but really sex works for most i will be thinkin of you and have a great life and a healthy baby
