There is no scientific evidence to support this belief that pregnant women should avoid papaya and pineapple. But since these fruits are rich in enzymes many believe this may cause abortion.
------
Large doses may cause uterine contractions, miscarriage, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, very heavy menstrual periods. Unripe pineapple is poisonous, causing excessive diarrhea.
------
Eating pineapple:
Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which is thought to help to soften the cervix and so bring on labour.
Is it safe?
There is very little available research. Each pineapple contains only very small amounts of bromelain so you would need to eat as many as seven to have any effect. The most likely side-effect of eating large amounts of pineapple would be a severe case of the runs.

there are a few things to look at...I've never heard of pineapple harming the baby. Fruit is good for pregnant women and unborn children.
Congratulations and good luck throughout the rest of your pregnancy!
