Some of you may know that taking Castor Oil (which is a stimulant laxative) is an old wives tale for starting labor. The modern day view on the stuff is yes it works - if your body is ready. Apparently, my body isn't ready. But I can report that it is in fact quite therapeutic. Better than El Ranchito even.
I got some mild tummy tightening contractions out of it this morning, but nothing painful or consistent - dang. So here I am at work - I've been up since about 4:30 - that should make my afternoon super pleasant. I was quite grateful when I opened up my schedule and I do not have a 5:00 patient - which means I'll be out of here at/by 5:00. Woo hoo!!!
