pineapple!

I am 40 weeks 2 days today and am eating an entire pineapple for breakfast...wonder if it will help?!  I'll be incuced this Tuesday if I dont go into labor onmy own but am praying something happens soon...I always imagined going into labor on my own, not by scheduling it...anyone else try pineapple?

    I tried it.  It didn't work for me, I ended up being 5 days over due before DD decided to join us.  But I have a friend that swears it worked for her.  You never know, GL!

    I ate a ton of pineapple and had my baby at exactly 41 weeks.  I also had sex everyday, swam laps everyday, drank RRL tea several times a day...the list goes on!  I even got acupuncture to no avail.

    Good luck! Sending labor dust your way!

    I ate 3 pineapples the week before I was going to be induced and nothing happened.

    You would have to eat like 12 pineapples in one sitting before it MIGHT work. Stick out tongue

    I ate fresh pineapple towards the end of my pregnancy (not trying to induce) and nothing happened.

    Doesn't work - I had probably 8 pineapples over the course of my pregnancy (Because I was craving it - I wasn't trying to go into labor).  I had DD at 40 weeks 4 days.

    Other than the runs, it didn't do much for me. Smile I was induced 10 days past due date and even then, he put up a fight. Good luck and hang in there!

    Didn't work for me. I ate it every day for 2 weeks.

    The week before dd was born I ate tons of pineapple, lots of spicy food, had sex and walked a lot.  Whenever I felt like the walking was giving me good contractions and I felt the desire to slow down, I walked faster.  I was going to make labor cookies but, never got around to it.  She was born on her due date.

    I would say that it worked for me. I was one week overdue and on day 5 and 6 I ate pineapple until it was coming out my ears. I also walked as much as I could (though it wasn't much as by then I was huge). It is worth a try!
