Re: any BTDT moms use castor oil
I did, but only under the direction of my midwife. I was in labor the next day, but still ended up needing cervadil & pitocin.
I would not recommend it, unless your dr/midwife is on board with it and is monitoring you.
ETA: I drank 3 oz castor oil mixed with 3 oz orange juice (this is what my midwife told me to do). There are more details about it in my birth story.

Personally I would not do it. I used it and it just made me sick

I would wait--only because you have so many labor symptoms "checked" off and still 10 days to go--you can go on your own at anytime--plus, I heard castor oil can make you and the baby sick...
I wouldn't risk it..

I would not do it. It can make you very ill andit already seems like you are close.
