pineapple

I heard that eating pineapple can help jumpstart labor. Can it be canned or a legit pineapple fruit? I'm 35 weeks don't plan on this until 37 weeks.

@ baby_gurl09- I know they don't work I crave pineapple with this pregnancy. Fresh, canned and the kind you get in the jello cups.. what I ment was the fresh is what everyone has been eating trying to induce labor.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention that what I said would be taken that way. No foods will make you go into labor as far as I know.

I craved pineapple a few days a go so ate a whole fresh one..other than causing tongue burn and tummy pains as it irritated my bowl it did nothing. I think these things ppl use to induce labour happen coincidently and baby comes when baby is ready

It's supposed to be fresh pineapples, but it doesn't work. You can safely eat pineapples during your pregnancy with out worry about early labor. Talk to you doctor if you need reassurance.

there's something in the pineapple that can make you go into labor but you would have to eat 20 to get enough of it for it to do anything

It's not true. Baby will come out when he or she is ready. I'm 36 weeks,  I been eating pineapples like everyday or any other day because I love them. Nothing happened to me. I don't eat to start labor. It's just coincidence that it work for some ladies.
