PINEAPPLE. What do you know?

Am I supposed to eat the entire thing in one sitting?

Re: PINEAPPLE. What do you know?

  • Needs to be fresh and from what I've heard, you have to eat lots of it.. so I am guessing you should eat the whole thing. I'm going to try this tonight myself.. All the best to you! = )

  • Someone suggested eating a pineapple blizzard. I said "I don't think that counts!"

    Good thing I love pineapple. Hope I don't end up with canker sores from the acid.

    GL to you, too!

    This is what I was going to say! I get them whenever I eat too much! GL!
  • do y'all really think that eating pineapple will put you in labor?  Lol, nothing will work until your body is ready.

  • Be quiet, Texas. Or else I'll call you a southerner.
  • Lol, that's not an insult to me.  i'm from FL, therefore i am a southerner and proud of it, ma'am. 

    is this your first baby?  why not just wait and let baby come when baby is ready.

  • Doesn't work.  I ate a pineapple a day for about a month before DS was born at 41.5 weeks lol... that was a lot of pineapple... lucky for me it was a craving ;)

  • because I'm 40 weeks tmo and DON'T want to be medically induced.

  • spin, is there a reason that your provider won't let you go to 42 weeks?  you don't have to be induced if you don't want to, unless there is a valid medical complication.

  • It's delicious...but won't put you in labor. Didn't stop me from eating a few just in case.

    I can go to 42 weeks. But I don't want to take any chances. So I decided to start some of the natural methods now....and I think the baby is laughing at me.

  • I swear I ate one a day the week before Lily was born.  I couldn't eat pineapple for 6 plus months after that.   I still don't like it as much as I used to.  Blah.

  • Anything is worth a try! lol  I didn't know about the pineapple thing with my last pregnancy or I would have done it.  I would have done anything to avoid an induction!  Unfortunately, I was induced!  Better luck this time.

  • I have one here that we bought a few days ago but I just dont see the logic behind a pineapple putting you in labour to actually try it for that reason but at least it wont hurt to try if you decide to do it right :p?

    Ha Ha... This has been great for a good laugh! I tried it, I like pineapple anyways so I figured it was worth a shot. = ) My OB is also trying to push induction, even though I am standing my ground to refuse. I figured anything safe was worth a shot at this point.. Wishful thinking on the pineapple.. = )
