Castor Oil & Early Pregnancy: Risks & Safety Concerns

No, it is not safe to drink castor oil in early pregnancy.

Castor oil is a strong laxative that can cause powerful and sudden bowel movements. This can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can be dangerous for both you and your baby.

Additionally, castor oil can stimulate contractions of the uterus, which can increase the risk of miscarriage.

Please do not take any medication or herbal supplement during pregnancy without first talking to your doctor.
