Full term next week and I'm trying everything to stimulate labour naturally, somethings get her moving and bring on BH really badly and others do absolutely nothing, I've heard pineapple is menna work is it fresh or tinned though and what's worked for everyone else? X
I tried the pineapple, I managed 4 whole fresh ones before giving up. You have to eat the core of the pineapple as well so tinned doesn't work sadly! Still not convinced anything works but it's worth a try and to keep occupied as well! x
@jodieiokie, it's crazy how much pineapple you have to eat to try get it working, think I'm gunna give up and hope she just comes by herself but knowing me I'll go like 2 weeks over would be my luck 🙈 xx
Doesn't matter is its fresh or tinned alrhough you'll be better with it fresh as the amounts of bromelian are higher in fresh. Only issue is, you need to eat 7 pineapples for the bromelian to have any effect on your cervix and by that point you'll have a very sore mouth. If you can't eat that much, each one of two and it might just stimulate the urge to go to the loo, which in turn can stimulate contractions. It's not that effective but worth a go when your desperate. I'm 4 days overdue and I've tried everything Including the pineapple but it didn't really do anything. I managed to eat one whole pineapple and my tongue started to bleed! 🙈 xx
@safiamammy1, I'll look at that now but have you seen the video on Facebook this woman in Australia did the dance to 'Justin bieber - sorry' and her waters went that night @sensie I'm gunna try that tonight see if it works for me I hope it does cause the last few days are the absolute worst xx
@lollypops, I never till my mum told me she did it so I thought she was just joking with me and went and done some before I went to bed the next day I went wee all I heard was pop 😂 I was like uhoh it worked! X I know how frustrating it is waiting my little boy came the day before his estimated due date xx
@sensie, I've never heard of doing star jumps gunna have to try it out lol, I'm literally willing to try anything at the moment x
Go on youtube and watch the women dancing who waters went during haha, wortg a go dance round the kitchen x
Has to be fresh and the core is the bit u want as it contains bromaline which is meant to help but u need like 8 in one go. And considering I ate pineapple all the way through my 3 Rd preg and in large quantities I'd say it isn't that helpful
