pinapple

so i have seen on here that pineapple is something that could induce labor. does that mean its not okay to eat normally?

I had Hawaiian pizza two weeks ago and it was so good and i am wanting it again.

Re: pinapple

I've been eating it through my entire pregnancy, its been one of the things I crave and I have not gone into labor yet. I think that may be a myth!!!

Re: pinapple

I've never heard of that and I have been eating a lot of it and the only thing is actually does is help me go to the bathroom

Re: pinapple

I dont believe is any of that.... I know that walking is really the only real way.... Sex I read can have opposite effects and make you be prego longer.

Re: pinapple

good - so its an old wives tale and i can eat all the pineapple I want. Suddenly its all I can think about - lol.

Re: pinapple

I tried every old wives tale there was, including pineapple, to induce labor. The baby comes out when he/she wants to.

I still say the yoga ball exercise helped me finally go into labor, but she was born one day early, which means she was probably just ready to come out.

I'd eat all the pineapple you want!

Re: pinapple

Yeah all the food things have no medical basis to start labor. . and even the things like foot massage which supposedly can actually have to be VERY accurate on the specific points and hard and long to make any effect. From what doctors and books say - few things can cause you to go into premature labor (except major traumas or dehydration etc) so eat away!!

Re: pinapple

No, natural remedies for inducing labor (like pineapple, sex, caster oil, etc) won't work if your cervix is not ripe. In theory, these methods may help ripen your cervix-making it soften, efface and dilate if you're at that point in your pregnancy but it wouldn't, like, cause your water to break before it's ready.

Re: pinapple

I LOVE pineapple and eat it as often as I get a chance. Want some now!

Re: pinapple

I've never heard of that. I have definitely eaten pineapple at some point during my pregnancy.
