As uncomfortable as the last few weeks are, I'd still wait and see what happens. Some babies don't drop until it's time to deliver. As far as the castor oil goes, I've never used it, (never will I know I'll gag...and worse) I have heard of some women mixing it with lemonade or something to that effect to minimize the taste. But as Amy said, taking castor oil can leave you with abdominal cramping, and also diarrhea, which can also lead to dehydration.. Just give it some time...and good luck.
