Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain that, in large doses, can cause the cervix to thin and labour to start. So this is why people think that eating pineapple can either cause a miscarriage or induce labour. This idea is particularly prevalent in the Caribbean.
However, you would have to eat at least 8 fresh pineapples in one sitting to get the levels of bromelain in your body to start off this process. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with eating pineapple during pregnancy. It won't cause a miscarriage or induce labour.

i am 4 months pregnant and been eating pineapple since the day i was pregnant. I am still okay. Pineapple is a fruit and it's fairly safe. I am not sure where you heard about the miscarriage but it's not true. Buttom line is to much of anything is not good for you. Just eat everything but don't overdo is.

no pineapple doesn't cause a miscarriage - probably make you have heartburn lol. My midwife suggested to eat pineapple towards the end of pregnancy to help things get going - good luck with the pregnancy!

when my wife was pregnant with our daughter the dr told her there was nothing she was not allowed to eat but to remember that everything you eat should be in moderation.
if you want to eat pineapple then go ahead, the worst that will happen is you may get a bit of heartburn, as pineapple is fairly acidic.

i think you are confused because pineapple is used by midwifes to encourage labour but only because it stimulates your bowells to open which can set off labour if your body is full term and ready for birth, don't worry, enjoy
