What is this?

I hear of girls eating whole fresh pineapples and going into labor???


Is that true? Thats crazy.What in a pineapple would make you do that?

i just read that too. the enzymes in it help thin out the cervix i guess

not true.
there is something in pineapple that will do it, but you would have to eat your body weight in pineapple to induce labor.

Quoting pregula *got boys?*:“ not true. there is something in pineapple that will do it, but you would have to eat your body weight in pineapple to induce labor.”

I just googled it and this is what I got.....


Pineapple is said to induce labor as well. Pineapple, as well as papaya and mango, contain a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain. When bromelain is consumed with meals, it assists in the digestion of proteins.
When taken on an empty stomach, bromelain acts medicinally as an anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore, naturopathic medicine uses this enzyme to reduce pain and swelling.
The mechanism by which pineapple contributes to inducing labor might be the proteolytic action of bromelain. Bromelain might help to soften the connective tissue of the cervix and, thus, bring on labor.
Because bromelain is destroyed in the production process of canned pineapple, you should consume only fresh pineapple flesh if you are trying to induce labor with pineapple. If your cervix is unripe — and you are not fond of eating plenty of pineapple — you can also use prostaglandin to help soften and ripen the cervix.


I don't even like pineapple , the closest I get is when we go to walmart I let my son hold one for a couple minutes because its "Spongebobs House" HAHHA

Pineapple sandwich? hmmmm....

I tried it when I was overdue. I got tired of the pineapple before anything could have happened...but no signs of labor.
