I am about to reach my 40 weeks of pregnancy. When I visited the gynaecologist today for routine check-up, My gynaecologist told me to take 60 ml of castor oil (in one intake) after 2 days with 1 glass of milk. I have heard that such big amount of castor oil is dangerous for mother and child both. Is it safe for me and my child at this stage, for inducing labor? Kindly suggest.

After 36 wks of pregnancy you are safe enough to be induced 60 ml of castor oil is generally used to induce labor so don't worry about it trust your gynaecologist and do as he says because he has examined you and he knows everything better than you so don't worry.
