Seriously :rofl:
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
I remember hearing that you have to eat 3 or 4 pineapples to make it work.
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!
Papaya have the same enzyme, so you can try them too ;) Having said that I was eating close to a pineapple a day near the end of my pregnancy & I still ending up going 10 days over.
i'm going to buy 3 pineapples tomorrow
do you think pineapple donuts count?
rainforest yeah it counts! haha
and get those pineapple lollies too!!
Oooh heartburn :S
I spent the day of my labour eating pineapple and doing nipple stimulation!! Worked for me, and DD was 8 days early, so i really wanted her to come that day! Go for it! xo
Can you alternate pineapple with Zantac? :lol: If so, I'm going up to the fruit shop now!!
Do you reckon this means you should avoid pineapple if you are not ready for bub to come yet?
ooooh i cant eat pineapple...for some reason it tastes like cheese (which I like, so not sure why pinapple cheese taste is not good). And the juice is worse.
Still when the time comes I may consider it..
in the hot weather that's all i ate was pineapple and i gotta tell ya with all the pineapple i ate it didn't help me. It wasn't intill after i gave birth someone told me pineapple helps but i didn't know that before so it was uselss for me sorry!
pmsl....pineapple cheese
