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.No, because it does not tint the color of the food. It ADDS red color to what the food is, though, like devilled eggs. The whipped yolk part is still yellow, but now has red 'flecks' in it.
