Pineapple...

So has anyone heard about eating pineapple to induce labor?? I was reading up on it and sliced up one and ate the majority and THAN read that it's only the core that has the good labor starting stuff.. haha.
I got another one... and sliced the core thinly and munched on it yesterday but, alas..nothing.
I'm not due for a couple fo weeks but I'm measuring weeks over and have been told I'll probably have a 10 pounder!  yikes..

Anyway, it didn't work for me but I heard a lot of people had luck with it...

I guess I'll just keep on my walks and meet my daughter when she's good and ready :)

I ate a whole pineapple (except the rine & core) WHILE gently bouncing on an exercise ball & still nothing. So far, sex has done the most for me.

I have heard about it but have heard that you have to eat tons and tons and tons of it.
