I know a girl who gave birth in a bathtub and her boyfriend took some castor oil concoction??

They're into the all natural thing... so she gave birth in the bathtub. At some point her boyfriend got in the tub with her to support her during contractions... then he took some castor oil concoction "to more closely experience what she was"... what is this?

Answer:
Castor oil just gives you diarhea. Some people think it induces labor, but it just gives you stomach cramps. (Reproduction and digestion are 2 totally different systems) That's stupid if it's true. He's not more closely experiencing what she is, he's just making himself sick and distracting himself from helping her. Idiots.
Weird people....
Stupidity. All castor oil does is make you have the runss reallllly bad.
ummm Castor oil is a laxative
Castor oil in large amounts can give you severe cramping and diarrhea. I don't know if that relates to the experience, but I doubt it.
im glad i dont know a girl like that
EW!

What a nutjob. He did that? It's to induce labor when your over due (40 plus weeks). It causes diarhea...I can only imagine how it affects someone who isn't pregnant! GROSS. That water must've been nasty.
all seems ok but the casterol oil thing

It is just people doing their own thing.
I am afraid to ask.
what happen to him after he took the Castol Oil concotion?.

Did he give birth to an engine...since Castrol oil is engine oil...
Ummmmmm..OKKKKKKKK! WOW I don't know how Castor Oil will give you a "close experience" but whatever. That's wierd but it takes all kinds I guess LOL
I'd say ok to the having the baby in the bathtub,I've heard of that making it easier,as long as she had a qualified midwife with her though.But castor oil.......uh gaga much?
THAT is the funniest thing I have read on here today!
it's stupidity!!
was it his idea or hers... I'd be telling my husband to take castor oil too if I were in labor.
they were allowed to have children?
