Pineapples a so delicious!!..but I don't think it brings on labor. If it did I wouldn't be 33.6 weeks today cause that's all I ate from 6 weeks until severe heartburn/acid reflux kicked in at 29 weeks. If it does, Im sure it has to be an extremely high dosage that's probably considered an unhealthy amount anyway.

No. I eat loads of pineapple and don't even go poo. I have been craving fresh pineapple and did eat it while it was in season here and now make due with can. If that was the case then people sensitive to juice would go into labor by drinking juice. I know lots of people who get diarrhea from juice.

Brings on bowel movements which brings on labor. Just like castor oil makes you go. Thats why some people use it. I think sex and spicy food work better though. With my daughter I was over due(40weeks, 6days) so i ate a plateful of loaded nachos with extra jalapenos, went into labor about 4 hours later.

Im not sure if it brings on labour i think it just irritates the bowl and causes cramping to be honest
