Girls, could you please tell me if anyone had this... My due date is approaching 42 weeks, I have no contractions, just sometimes (once a day) my lower abdomen feels slightly tight, and naturally, my waist hurts, today I'm going to the maternity ward, the doctor said to buy castor oil to drink it, as I understand for stimulating labor, who has experienced something like this? How did they give birth? Opening up over the last week by one finger, they prescribed Revitakas candles, as I understand they only sell them in Ukraine ?
