Chowing down on fresh pineapple because I'll try anything. Though I know there isn't any scientific proof that fresh pineapple will actually do anything, I do understand why it can and has worked for some women when inducing labor. The core of this fruit (the harder, cylindrical shaped Center of a pineapple) is full of fiber. When you go to the bathroom, fiber or any laxative really, will cause your intestines and uterus to contract. The same way one could say castor oil works, for example. Although it isn't exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an example. I believe this is why pineapple has worked for some women. 🍍

@anayeli haha! I feel ya girl. I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. I'm drinking raspberry leaf tea which helps ripen the cervix, taking evening Primrose oil capsules, walking a ton every day, bouncing on a yoga ball, doing squats and having sex. I've also been eating a lot of spicy stuff but there isn't any scientific backing to that one either. :p Every little bit helps!

anything is useful honestly.have you started contractions yet?? I'm 36 weeks and I lost my mucus plug last week. I had sex last night and my contractions started but won't stay. I tried a little bit of Castro oil but I dont think it works if I'm constantly eating. lmfao.

@anayeli I have but they're all smaller ones for the most part. Just my uterus hardening then becoming soft again. Pretty much has done that all week nonstop but nothing bigger consistently. I've had a few big contractions but not many yet...I've considered castor oil, I know there are risks but if I haven't had any progress by my Dr's appointment Thursday, I may get some and try it.
