    Pineapple Juice

    I didn't know about any risk at all and drank pineapple juice like crazy with both DS1 & DS2. I actually drank it pretty much every day through both of their pregnancies! Lol.

    Google reads like you would have to drink a lot to suffer a miscarriage
    Apparently it softens the cervix which is great late late pregnancy to bring on labour but not so great early pregnancy when you want to keep everything in.

    It's funny that I crave it but it seems I shouldn't have it

    There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that suggests bromelain will induce miscarriage.
    The amounts present in pineapple are so small, that the sheer volume you would need to ingest to even begin to worry about this are massive. Totally ridiculous old wives tale.

    Eat the pineapple.

    I also just read that the canning process takes away the bad stuff
    So it's sounding like a tale...

    It's a 'tale' that some FS believe.

    Like I said, do whatever you think is right.
