Castor Oil Induction
I still feel that the safest method of induction is castor oil. Many other induction methods, such as amniotomy, are irreversible and often lead to cesarean section due
to "failure to progress" or time constraints for ruptured membranes. The worst things that will happen if the castor oil fails to bring on labor is the mom will have some
diarrhea and need some minerals replenished.

The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth
The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth, fully revised and expanded by Sheila Kitzinger for this new edition, is dedicated to women (and their partners) who wish to play an active role in giving birth rather than submit passively to obstetrical business as usual, and who wish to supplant fear and confusion with understanding. It takes into account the changing nature of women's lives: juggling pregnancy and the workplace, having babies later in life, embarking on single parenthood. It incorporates the very latest scientific research into pain relief; into the advantages and disadvantages of screening in pregnancy, induction of labor, episiotomy, cesarean, and electronic fetal monitoring; and into bonding, breastfeeding, and the abilities of the newborn. It provides a complete, illustrated account of the baby's development inside the uterus. It offers guidance on prenatal care, keeping fit, choosing among the different locations and methods of delivery, and making the emotional transition to parenthood. And it does all this in a single comprehensive volume and in the unique, vivid, and friendly voice of Sheila Kitzinger.
The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth
Sheila Kitzinger, a well-known home-birth advocate and author of many excellent books, has written this comprehensive guide in a way that informs the reader about the typical medical tests, procedures, interventions and explains their purposes and the situations in which may be most beneficial for those who choose them. The individuality of each pregnancy is acknowledged and respected, and no judgements are made or implied regarding the use of tests, epidurals, artificial induction, etc., other than to simply describe what they are and how and when they are generally used. It is nice to read about natural births, home births, bonding time, etc., without all of the cold medical warnings and threats for a change.
