pineapple and bumpy roads?

How many mommies have used pineapple to help kick start labor or driving over bumpy roads? I'm 38 weeks and completely miserable. Anything else you suggest?

I never tried pineapple, and all the roads around here are as they are all country roads. We took one that kept bouncing me up and down in the seat and that night I was heading into active labor, and he was born the next day.

I went with my bf to check cows yesterday and we had to drive in the field. Afterwards I started to cramp and contract a lot..went home and lost lots of mucus plug, but that's it. Lol

Pineapple will only work well if you eat 7 whole pineapple (core and all) within a 24 hour period.

Bumpy roads may help, but I doubt it. I've been in preterm labor for 4 weeks, dilated and effaced and drive over bumpy roads daily and it hasn't sent me into labor yet.

I went mudding 36 weeks pregnant. Went on a camping trip that consisted of rough riding for 3 days. Nothing happened. Went to a concert 8 months pregnant nothing happened. Walked 2 miles every night when I was 37&38 weeks nothing happened. Tried nipple stimulation nothing happened. Lol. Baby will come when he/she is ready
