Pineapple Q

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I was googling and saw on a random board that pineapple can cause uterine contractions and m/c.

Has anyone heard this before?  Makes me not want to drink the smoothie I just made!

TIA!

    I don't know, but I probably ate my weight in pineapple when pregnant with DS. I craved it all day long.

    I know if you google enough you can find bad things out about anything.  I made a smoothie with bananas, pineapple, pineapple core and mango juice but it's sitting in the fridge getting cold.  Our freezer broke so we have no ice and subway wouldn't sell me a cup, boo!

    It wans't from a medical site it was from another ttc board, so I don't know if it's true.  Of course now I feel like my stomach is cramping, jeez I'm easy to persuade!

    Avoiding pineapple during pregnancy is an old wives tale. It is not true at all.

    I have just searched on all the medical forums i know and there is nothing about not eating pineapples! If you are worried maybe give your Dr a call and see what they say!

    Thanks! I just wiki'd it:

    These enzymes can be hazardous to someone suffering from certain protein deficiencies or disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Pineapples should also not be consumed by those with Hemophilia or by those with kidney or liver disease, as it may reduce the time taken to coagulate a consumer's blood.[4]

    Consumers of pineapple have claimed that pineapple has benefits for some intestinal disorders; others claim that it helps to induce childbirth when a baby is overdue.[5]

    Pineapple is a good source of manganese (91 %DV in a 1 cup serving), as well as containing significant amounts of Vitamin C (94 %DV in a 1 cup serving) and Vitamin B1 (8 %DV in a 1 cup serving).[6]

    The root and fruit are either eaten or applied topically as an anti-inflammatory and as a proteolytic agent. It is traditionally used as an antihelminthic agent in the Philippines.
