Pineapple

Hi everyone- what's the deal with pineapple? Is it safe to eat during pregnancy? I was craving it and ate a bunch yesterday, now I'm hearing it's bad for baby?! Geez the list of 'no nos' is really getting too long to keep track of. Anyone hear of this, or is it an Internet myth?

    I think the myth is that eating the core of the pineapple (which you usually don't eat) brings on labor but I don't know how true that is. But otherwise I haven't heard to stay away from pineapple

    ....Myth.  It doesn't bring labor.

    I just ate a whole pineapple minus the core and have had no issues.

    I hope it doesn't hurt baby!! I've been eating fresh pineapple almost every single day for the whole pregnancy! I never heard that it was bad - I actually have been told it helps bring in your milk supply.

    The concern is with the core, as pp's have said, but I can tell you that I ate the entire core of a pineapple at the end of my last pregnancy and didn't go into labor for a week. It's more of an old wives tale, vs any real issue.

    I don't think it's anything to worry about. DH's favorite fruit is pineapple, so we almost always have fresh pineapple in the house. I've eaten TONS of it this whole pregnancy. It's delicious!

    I've been mauling this and pretty much all fruit. I'm good :smile:

    I actually asked my OB about this at my last appointment! He said there is nothing to worry about, but to limit the intake because pineapple is very high in sugar.

    **lurking from July 16** the biggest thing with pineapple is that it actually can work as a laxative, to the point of dehydration as I've heard. I never had huge issues with it but, just a heads up. I also think that's part of why people believed it could bring on labor, since laxatives "can help"...
