pineapple to help labor.

[jdreyn]

I'm ladies! I'm 39+2 days and 3.5cm and everyone said to eat pineapple! so I got some pineapple, but how much should I eat?

[mrsreeder2be]

LOL I eat pineapple like crazy... Did as well with my other two pregnancies. Didnt start labor for me. But I can eat a can or more a day without thinking about it.... LOL

[jdreyn]

I just hope it helps. I ate almost a whole can and went walking a Lil, I'm going to finish my can and walk even more, then sex. Oh, I also ran up & down steps today. I'm going to try spicy food if this doesn't help.

you could always google it and see if you find otherwise let me know cause im looking and cant find anything saying its not destroyed(im on page 3 of google and everywhere has said fresh)... and remember ladies walking is said to induce labour....as most of you said you did, plus labour will eventually happen, no woman is pregnant forever lol

Also i have found fresh papaya , mango, and kiwi has this enzyme as well but less than fresh pineapple... if your sick of pineapple... mix it up a bit

This is from baby center...but they all say the same thing...

My sister wasn't dilated and ate pineapple and started labor process that night. But hers was the fresh. I had read that it had to be fresh, it never worked for me but probably because I didn't eat alot of it
