Who has tried eating pineapple to induce labor? Did it work?

Question

If it didn't, did you try anything else that did work? Or is it all myths and nothing helps?

Answer

The only thing that helped me was sex. He had to finish inside but it got me started dilating. Had my son a week later. (hubby has to leave the night after we tried sex for military duties)

Answer

You have to eat like 7 pineapples in one sitting for it to be enough to induce you, and at that point, it could be toxic to you. That's why your tongue tingles when you eat it, because the acids in the pineapple are literally trying to fight back.

Answer

Sex! Semen will help thin the lining of the cervix and if your body is ready jump start labor!

I ate an entire freaking pineapple and nothing! I have friends who swear by it though, so I don't know. All I know it didn't do a damn thing for me.
