I ate a whole pineapple in about a hour and walked for a long time . came home had some more slices of pineapple . took a hot shower and that next morning at 5am I was having contractions and dilated 1cm . its not much but now that I'm close to my baby being full term I'm going to try it again because its the safest.  Also the sperm from your boyfriend/husband helps too . :)

I ate a whole pineapple in two days, walked miles, had sex, nipple stimulation, everything you can think of and nothing worked. I didn't dilate at all since my last appt. Just be patient, your body will do its thing. I'm giving up and just going to sit back and relax until baby is here lol.

You would have to eat like 10 whole pineapples for it to have any kind of effect, and even then the odds are low. Like she said, sex, walking, and nipple stimulation are your best chances. You could also try bouncing on an exercise ball as well!

Sex&walking & niplle stimultion are the best ways doctors tell u to do this when u aren't dialtion faster enough after sex put a pillow under ur bum and lift ur legs up oh hold them in air for 10 min helps semen soften the cervix then go on brisk walk to help dilate when u have a tighting walk about or do squats ' also walking up and down stairs helps alot' rasbery leaf tea'fresh pinaples' warm bath ' dancing helps' lunges :')  or egg plant also caster oil but I wouldn't recommend it due to issues I've heard happen so take a miss on that love :) try these tho a lot if women dialte threw these :)
