My pregnancy was long overdue and to avoid being induced for the third time running, I tried to start labor with two tablespoons of castor oil. Incredibly, it worked! I was eventually on the couch watching Japanese tentacle porn when I finally broke down and called UCLA to report the state of my labor.
Key Takeaways:
- It worked to my amazement, but I clung to a certain skepticism about the reliability and authenticity of home-induced contractions.
- Increasingly distressed in the passenger’s seat, I clung to that useless handle above the door and cursed through the contractions.
- By the time we made it to my parents’ house, I was past the point of being able to cheerfully unload kids.
