My grandmother swears by castor oil for everything and now shes telling me to take it. But i have a feeling its not safe right now. Did anyone here use castor oil while pregnant? thoda confused what to believe.
I'd strongly say do not consume castor oil while pregnant. It can cause strong cramping. If anyone told you it helps with delivery, please dont try it at home, only your doctor should decide such things.
Beta, for the skin or hair externally a little is usually okay, but please dont drink castor oil during pregnancy, the old idea of using it to start labour can be risky. Always ask your doctor before trying anything like that.
Topical use is generally considered okay but ingesting castor oil during pregnancy is a no without medical supervision. Honestly just check with your doctor about your specific plan to be safe.
Externally on hair or belly it's fine for many, I used a bit on my tummy. But never take it internally without doctor advice, that's where it gets risky. For anything to do with labour, leave it to your gynac.
