My saas keeps telling me to take a little castor oil for easy delivery, this is some old gharelu thing apparently. But im not sure if its actually safe. Anyone heard of this or done it?
Haan bilkul mat lena! Log bolte hain delivery jaldi hoti hai, par yeh bilkul galat baat hai. Yeh pet kharab kar dega aur heavy cramps dega, toh door hi raho isse.
If u are facing constipation, try simple daily walking if your doctor permits, and drink lots of water. Castor oil is too harsh for the body and highly unsafe right now.
Actually yaar, drinking castor oil is highly risky during pregnancy. It can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration, which is bad for the baby. Just completely avoid it!
Oh please stay away from drinking castor oil unless u want to spend your whole day crying on the toilet seat! It is a super strong laxative and totally unsafe for your tummy right now [1.2.1].
Consuming castor oil can lead to severe dehydration and fetal distress in some cases. There is no scientific backing for using it safely during pregnancy. Please consult your doctor for safe alternatives.
Using it on your hair or dry skin is fine, but never, ever drink it. Old people might suggest it to induce labor, but modern doctors strictly advise against it because it is dangerous.
I panicked when my grandmother suggested it for constipation, but thank god I asked my gynac first who strictly said no. It can cause dangerous uterine contractions. If u are constipated, ask doctor for safe syrups.
