Pineapple doesn't help induce your labor unless your body is ready, right? I've been craving pineapple so I just ate a bunch. Pleasee answer this :/

From what I understand pineapples only soften your cervix, which can help with labor, but it takes a hell of a lot to really do anything drastic. You eat that pineapple girlie. If thats what the baby wants and thats what you want eat it!!!! Pineapple is yummy, and healthy.

You're right. It only works if your body is ready and it DOES work!!!! Even the canned I've been eating pineapple all week since last Saturday and now i am sitting in the hospital 4 1/2cm, fully thinned, with an epi waiting for my son. (: (:

For some reason I've been craving watermelon and pineapple and oranges and peaches every day for the past few weeks. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't throw me into premature labor.

I ate two cans in 1 day last week & I'm fine. Just like with anything else that helps induce (nipple stimulation, sex, etc) your body has to be ready first. Enjoy!
