Olive instead of Castor

Can you drink olive oil instead of castor oil as an induction to labour, don't they both do the same thing, i just cant find castor oil anywhere but olive oil is sold everywhere, if you can, has anyone tried it and with what success.

Castor oil will just make you sick - and you'll probably do that anyway! Rose oil in the burner/bath is MUCH nicer and worked for me

or worse than being sick bogie, you'll get a major case of the squits.

How embarrassing during labour.

Seriously - it's not recommended.
