Can pineapple really help put you in labor??
Apparently it can... but only in high amounts! Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, particularly in the core which is thought to help stimulate the stomach, aid in contractions and ultimately help ripen the cervix.
According to my research you need to eat about 7 - 8 whole pineapples to raise any bromelian enzymes in your body... That’s a lot of darn pineapple!
I’m now 39 weeks along and going into my last week of work. My feet are swollen, my hips are sore and I’m just not too sure how much longer I can go!
There’s many other things that I could try but I do enjoy indulging in this sweet snack! :)
We can’t wait to meet our little one!
