Pineapple... who has done it?

[proud_mommy_25]

Who has eaten pineapple to help labor along and it actually work?
I decided for fun, I would give it a go tonight and just see if it does anything. I've been crampy for the past couple days so I figure it can't hurt, maybe might even help. You never know.

I'm sorry. My response to someone elses question posted here. A glitch I guess..

I'm 7 weeks. And I had a severe headache that was debilitating for over a week when I was about 4-5 weeks. All I could take was tylenol which didn't help much at all. Then the doctor prescribed me norco 5/325mg. I only took half of one and drank alot of water to ease it. I basically just dealt with it. But bc of your family history, I'd check up on that. Some women find out about underlying problems when pregnant bc of the increase in blood flow and hormones. Especially arterial and neuro issues. Stay on it. You know your body.

Never tried it. I used castor oil for my last pregnancy. It worked great and i had an all natural amazing burth

I've ate pineapple through out my hole pregnancy not to induce labor but I crave pineapple all the time I'm in my third trimester and now the only thing pineapple does is give me have loose BM when I eat to much I've never herd of pineapple inducing labor

I've had a friend drink castor oil in her OJ and another use evening primrose oil and that worked.

Well I would say it definitely made my cramping a little more intense, but so far that is about it.
If anything else it also gave me a good dose of fruit.

It was worth a shot.
Babies definitely come when they are ready, I think there are things to help soften the cervix but only when your body is already getting ready.
My first came 3 days before her due date and it was very out of the blue with no signs. Mucus plug came out and contractions started pretty quick after. I'm anxious to see how this little man will tell me IT'S TIME...

Ive ate a pound of pineapple in the past two days and walked like crazy and still nothing.. ill be 39w tomorrow and at my last appointment i was cm dilated.. im starting to think that babies really do come when they are ready unless you get induced.. i went 41w6d with my daughter before she decided she was ready to join us.

I ate half a pineapple yesterday, nothing yet. Not even a cramp.

Don't waste your time with pineapple. Nothing will happen.

I've heard it helps the muscles to relax. It's something I am considering when the time comes.
