I did do my research. I am comfortable with my choice.
I have name changed since I’m a regular on the pregnancy board. I know it’s controversial.
At 8.30 this morning I took two tablespoons of castor oil. Fast forward an hour later and I took another two.
So far? Nothing.
I’m getting quite annoyed because I was looking forward to a good ‘clear out’.
I feel really constipated! My bump is also really tight and uncomfortable.
So no contractions. But a tight, uncomfortable bump.
Has anyone taken this outside of pregnancy/in pregnancy and it’s given them constipation?
I know it works a lot as a ‘risky’ method of inducing labour naturally, but I’ve never heard of it making someone constipated and what’s more, even Google isn’t giving me anything.
I can literally find nothing to suggest castor oil makes you constipated there aren’t even any threads on the internet about it doing so.
What on Earth is going on?!
I really want to use the loo, I’m incredibly uncomfortable. What can I take instead?
Castor oil, the magnificent ‘laxative’ has done sweet fanny Adams!
