So between today and yesterday I've eaten about 2 and a half pineapples because I read that it contains an enzyme can induce labor. Well, I was unaware that it would cause me to have acidic and sticky poo that actually STINGS when coming out! I guess I should have known though, if you eat too much citrus this can happen. I actually had to sit in the tub in warm water for awhile to help me feel better... and I also had to take some antacids. I guess we'll wait and see if it has the effect we're hoping for Has anyone went into labor due to pineapple?! Please tell me good news!
Also, it is possible for the baby to "kink" your pee? Probably a dumb question I know, but constantly today I feel like I have to pee so bad and then when I try to go hardly anything will come out... or the flow will stop and suddenly start again... it's the weirdest feeling.
Re: Peeing, Pooping... and Pineapple (maybe TMI :)
I was JUST talking to my husband about this. For me it's like I *really* need to pee, I do a little, but then when I walk out of the bathroom I need to go back to pee again because it's like there was a pee pocket behind the original pee that LO was blocking
As you get further along, the pressure can make it feel like you need to pee, even when you don't. When you are trying to pee, leaning forward can help get things moving. It somehow takes the pressure off of the bladder.
