Castor oil to induce labor?

I am 39 weeks pregnant and absolutely miserable (as most women are at this point in pregnancy). I have been in false labor a few times and ready to go! I am about a cm dilated. My doctor is going to strip my membranes Monday and I would like to go a more non-invasive way. I walk, stimulate my nipples and everything else. I have started the evening primrose oil and raspberry leaf tea. I am more interested in castor oil. On one hand, I hear that it works. On the other hand, I hear that it can cause meconium to go into the amniotic sac. Wondering how effective/ safe castor oil is. Any midwives around? Looking for someone who is not just clinical/ medical. Thanks.

What is the structure and importance of the cell membrane?

The cell membrane regulates the transport of substances in and out of the cell. It is selectively permeable, and therefore allows for the passage of some substances more readily than others. As the person above me has said, it also serves as a protective barrier that protects the interior of the cell from its external surroundings, thus helping to maintain a stable internal environment. Plants have a cell wall, IN ADDITION TO a cell membrane.

Why do catholics practice so many unbiblical rituals?

Catholics do not practice " biblical rituals". Your list is completely false. Did you get this from a genuine Catholic web site, or is this your own interpretation?

Had my membranes stripped today, but it didn't hurt like everyone says?

I had mine stripped at about 38 1/2 weeks and it didn't hurt me either. It was uncomfortable but not painful. It didn't work for me though. I had my son at 40 weeks

I need the name of an older movie that Kat Williams starred in.It was based on a true story about a radio dj?

He was in jail first then a guy that worked for a radio station was at the jail visiting his bro and promised him a job when he got out.It took place in Washington Dc and it seems like the name was actually what he said on the radio.Tjanks for any help!!

Can i get some opinions on my latest short story? (FIRST PARAGRPAHS)?

Make the third last sentence more worshipful: "Throughout his nineteen years, He had looked after him like the shepherd tending his sheep; He had given him companionship as his infinite compassion led Him to." Something like that. Other than that, well written!

Can you join any military branch if you served 3 months in jail?

It will be difficult. In today's economy, anyone with a criminal record will be immediately turned down. If you have time to wait, it could be worth it.
