Does coconut water make you go into labor?

Question

I'm 15 weeks and I love coconut water from real coconuts!! My friend saw me drinking some and she told me not to drink it because it makes you go into labor. She said they told her to drink it so she can go into labor and she did end up going into labor.....
All these myths freak me out ahhh

Answer

For one, I’ve never heard that about coconut water. I drank it all through my pregnancy because it’s so hydrating and nutritious. 
Two, even things that “make you go into labor” like pineapple, or having sex, or bouncing on a ball, only help if your body is actually ready to go into labor. It can help kickstart the process once your body is ready and producing the correct hormones to start labor. You can’t trick your body into that. 
There are a few things, particularly medications, that can cause early labor or miscarriage, but definitely not coconut water.

Answer

Myths shouldn’t freak you out. They’re myths. Not fact.

Answer

I'm 9 weeks and told my Dr I was drinking coconut water (she wanted to know what fluids I was intaking) and she didn't say anything about it. I know it's excellent for hydration and it's also apparently great when you're breastfeeding!
