Pineapple can start labor???

[13becca13]

Has anyone heard of this or tried it and it worked for them? I read a lot of stories from women who tried it after 37 weeks and it worked for them. I guess it has to be fresh pineapple and they ate either half or all the pineapple in one night and then they said either contractions started or their water broke. Have any of you tried this? I just bought a fresh pineapple and I am going to try it... Lol.

I always ate pineapple ,... whole pineapples until my tongue was sore since my first trimester, because it was some of the only food i can tolerate and nothing really happened, just sore tongue and some heartburn.. i would assume its just a myth :)

To pinkk1111 I would totally try sex but me and my bby daddy are not together anymore. Otherwise no matter how awkward it was I would totally try it! :(

The only problem I have with this one, is that women in the pacific islands eat a lot of fresh pineapple. If this were true, they would have a very hard time repopulating I would think.

My suggestion is on week 38 or 39 try sex. Its uncomfortable i know but it might work. I was in alot of pain as welk to walk. I couldnt go anywhere without getting pain down there. I was scared the baby was gona cone out. But i was so fed up that i told my husband one night.....we r having sex tonight....and then my water broke withing 4hrs.

Good luck hun!

Thanks ladies for sharing... If it doesn't work its OK... I'm just close to going into labor and it hurts so much to walk. Doctor told me if I don't deliver in the next two weeks... He will induce me 4-14 which I'll be 39 weeks. Well I guess I just have myself a nice healthy snack lol

I ate a lot of fresh pineapple with my 2nd and it didn't do nothing to me but maybe some heartburn.

I tried and it didn't work I had to have my Dr scrape my membrane before I went into labor within hours

[pinkk1111]

I tried it at 37, 38 &39 weeks. And it didnt work for me at all. It was so frustrating. The pineapple was fresh each time. All tried all remedies and nothing worked for me. What ended up working was sex at 39weeks. It caused my water to break within 4hours...lol

Your post just made me crave pineapple.  Lol

[13becca13]

Did you go into labor shortly after eating pineapple? Like within a couple days?

I believe the pineapple I ate helped with my Labor but only that it helped my cervix soften.

Yea sex worked for me before except I'm not with my BD anymore so no sex for me :(

[Raeleighs_Mommy]

My dr said dont waste time with pinapple or castrol oil cus none of it works. He said sex, sex, and more sex. Seman has the same stuff in it as the.medicine they use to induce you at hospital.

Lol... I love pineapple but I don't think I could eat 7 whole pineapples! I figured I would just try it and worse case scenario it would just be a yummy snack! :)

Ive never tried it but aparently from what ive heard, u wud need to eat about 6 or 7 fresh pineapples and mainly the core part of the pineapple for it to set u off.watch out for the heartburn!
