Induction via Pineapple

[Heaven]

Seriously

At my appointment today the midwife was telling me about natural induction methods and he said one way is to eat a whole pineapple!!!! I thought he was joking at first but he was serious. He said something about the enzymes in pineapple helping.

Has anyone else heard of this?? Anyone started things off with a big juicy pineapple? lol.

There were a few in my belly buddies trying the pineapple thing but I dont think anyone went into labour cos of it!
Didnt work for me, although I didnt quite eat a whole one...

Gave me BH but obviously didn't work for me!!

I'll definitely try it again next time round though.

teo of the detectives at work swear by this method...they are both male but promise this made thier wives go into labour...

I recommended it to a friend's friend two weeks ago. She ate pineapple that afternoon and went into labour a couple hours later. I was impressed!

I looooove pineapple

LOL, it seems so funny, a pineapple, seriously.
Who cares though, I'm going to get me some pineapple!! lol. I love it anyway, actually I think I could eat a whole one. Although the heartburn might not be so great.

ETA- satya, I don't think I could eat 3 or 4 lol

never heard of it, but go nuts! Surely cant hurt!

Good luck, I just hope you dont get mouth ulcers!

I remember hearing that you have to eat 3 or 4 pineapples to make it work.
