where to buy castor oil

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows where to buy castor oil on-line or in the shops. Had a look at a few pharmacies on-line like boots e.t.c but i'm having no luck. Any ideas ???.

Thanks

I think I saw some in our chemist.

Daft question but is it to drink or for the ear?

If it is to clear a build up of ear wax (as it was for our 5 year old) our doctor said to use normal olive oil.

I bought the small bottle with a dropper from the chemist for 49p and just filled it with extra virgin olive oil but he said any kind of olive oil will do, even cooking oil!

Hi

It's to drink. My fiancee wants to try an old fish tale out. she's now 2days overdue with our first and is really fed up. We can't seem to get it anywhere though.

Try a really hot curry as it is also supposed to work.

Take a look in your local paper to find the nearest 24 hour chemist and give them a bell!

Your local chemist will sell some - if you can find one open over bank holiday, instore pharmacy in a supermarket maybe.

Probably best not to tell the assistant or pharmacist why you're purchasing it as it really isnt recommended by health professionals.

I'm a day or so overdue but I couldn't bring myself to drink it , it's fat at the end of the day - urghh!

It's a frustating time for us pregnant and fed up girls, I know I cant wait for things to get moving. As already mentioned hot curry is another "old wives tale" to induce labour.

As a last measure, another "activity" that's said to help induce labour is.... a lot of cleaning and scrubbing floors as well as good old nookie - if you're not already on a sex ban that is!! (She may want to pass on the last one!)

Good luck to you both!

Try nipple stimulation, it helped move my little sod. He was 8 days over and didnt want to move. The midwife recommended it to me, and I was suprised at how quick it made me have contractions.

I went 13 days overdue with my 2nd (hes 5 now bless him) and my midwife suggested the "3 hots" . Hot curry , hot bath and hot sex . Not neccessarily in that order.

Also sitting on a dining room chair backwards so that the back of the chair is pressed into your chest. Its supposed to help the baby descend further into the birth canal.
