Pineapple inducing labor?

Question

I guess I forgot that some fruits like pineapple, mango and kiwi can be a natural way to induce labor...made a huge pineapple, mango and orange smoothie and drank it down! I don't think I'll be going into labor, but I definitely feel like crap! Stomach cramps and back aches. Maybe I'll try again in 2 1/2 weeks when I'm 40 weeks! 😂

Answer

I ate a whole damn pineapple and not one contraction 😒

Answer

You'd have to eat like 7-10 whole pineapples for it to actually do anything. I had a huge pineapple craving during my first pregnancy towards the end of my third trimester and asked my OB about this, she just laughed and said you'd have to eat such an excessive amount that it's not a concern.

Answer

I've eaten about 3 whole pineapples since Friday and ended up in OB triage w some legit contractions but got sent home. Haven't had many since then...but I've also been walking, doing squats, having sex daily, eating spicy foods....

Answer

Ummm, nothing can actually cause your labor UNLESS your body is ready to go.
But you can try these things:
  
- Red Raspberry Herbal Tea
- Evening Primrose Oil
- Dates
- Sex
- Nipple stimulation 
- WALK
- Bouncing on a ball
- Rotating hips on ball
- Squats
- Auropressure 
- Massages
- black/blue cocash (not recommended until full term)
- castor oil (but I wouldn't recommend it because it causes dehydration)
  
There are a million and one things you can do but if your body isn't ready, it won't do anything. Most of these have beneficial qualities for labor but not to start it.
