About this document

Castor Oil Use at 39 Weeks Pregnant by kalii.lockliear is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Castor oil is sometimes used to induce labor, particularly around 39 weeks of pregnancy, but it is not recommended before 40 weeks due to risks of premature labor. While studies show that 54% to 58% of women may go into labor within 24 hours of taking castor oil, it can cause side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. Caution is advised as inducing labor before the body is ready can pose risks to both the mother and fetus.
