I heard this rumour. I am into my 41st week and have been in slow labour for a number of days. I have ate 4 whole pineapples and walked 3 miles a day aswell as drinking red raspberry leaf tea. Nothing has made my labour progress you just have to wait for your baby to be ready

Answeryes, in Asia, pineapple had been kind of food that stimulate early labour,induce your menstrual flow, and lead to miscarriage AnswerI think if pineapple induced labor it would be used rather than expensive drugs. Going into labor may follow eating pineapple but that does not mean the pineapple induced labor. AnswerNever heard of pineapple but spicy foods and sex has worked for many.

Pineapple, as well as papaya and mango, contains a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain. When taken on an empty stomach, bromelain acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. They think it might be the proteolytic action of bromelain that may help, by softening the connective tissue of the cervix. However, bromelain is destroyed in the canning process, so only fresh pineapple will do... and plenty of it.

The high fiber content of that much pineapple is likely to cause a lot of bowel movements. If you're determined to go with a homeopathic treatment, prostaglandins applied to the cervix might be a better route to follow; a good source of prostaglandins is primrose oil.
