It's just one of those home remedies that people thinks work. You'd have to eat a crap load of fresh pineapple to even make a dent into labor. If your body isn't ready then nothing will help. But apparently there is an enzyme in it that helps soften you I believe.
I've heard that eating pineapples don't work to induce labor :/
It's the citrus that helps but again you'd have to eat a lot and it still might not help and you'd have a stomach ache... Now excuse me I'm craving pineapple now lol.
i ate 3 big pineapple the other day, it just made my tonge hurt.
I hate a lot of pineapple thru my whole pregnancy up till I was being induced at 40+4 . And nothing ever worked for me or softened my cervix any !
