Has anyone used pineapple juice to help with opening the cervix and starting contractions?
@nataliesmom well the pineapple will help with that, or any spicy food (I tried fresh hot peppers with my daughter but they didn't work) But some women either get really constipated or the runs right before birth. So your body might be backing up to get ready.
@xoxochelsey, I’ve been really bad the last probably month of being constipated
@nataliesmom maybe it's a good sign? Or maybe you need to find something to help clean you out to get it started. So try spicy foods, peppers, foods with high acid levels (if you get heart burn make sure you take meds for that first)
Bascially all it has to be fresh pineapple the whole ones and you have to eat like 7 in 1 day I believe and if I'm in mistaken it gives you the shits. I think @bitchcraft did it.? I could be wrong.
@nataliesmom, pineapple juice won’t do anything for you. Try yoga ball or dancing. Both worked for me.
Ugh yes. I could only eat 1.5 whole pineapples before my tongue was too sore to eat anymore and then I got diarrhea during labor. I won’t even go near pineapple right now. Lol
@teenmommy18, I’m due on the 25th but dr is talking after my appointment on Monday that he may induced me if he ain’t here by then
I tried eating pineapple and drinking the juice but it didn’t work for me
I’ve never went over 37 weeks with my daughter she was born at 37 weeks and 1 day with this 2nd pregnancy seems like he’s not coming out till after his due date
@nataliesmom, that’s what I though about my son I though he would be born after his due date I ended up having him literally the day before my due date on the 15th of October my due was the 16th
Try going for a long walk. Having sex and maybe eating pineapple as a snack after 😂😂 maybe all that would get things started.
@xoxochelsey, I honestly don’t know I have a friend that tried when she was pregnant with the same dr and he wouldn’t do it for her
@nataliesmom I'd ask. Worst they can say is no. How are along was your friend? You have to be considered full term first. And even if you get it baby won't come unless its ready. So some women have to do it multiple times. Others only once.
Personally I wouldn't put pineapple juice up in there 😳 Jkjk. They say juice from a can won't work. Its the core of a fresh pineapple. And youd have to consume up to like 6-7 a day for several days. Not worth it lol. I tried my last pregnant and the only thing that happened was my mouth was burning from the acid in it. And I only ate half a pineapple. I couldn't even finish one. But it did taste good lol
@massmomma16 yeah it messed you up bad. @nataliesmom and the juice won't work you need fresh pineapple
