Ok, I've read it like a hundred times on here and now I'm curious, what is it about pineappple that is suppose to induce labor? I'm almost 37 weeks and looking for some safe things to try next week if no baby yet. I craved pineapple in my last pregnancy and it never did anything. I haven't had any this time and I'm wondering if it's worth a try. I wouldn't want to try castor oil. I walk as much as I can, but it's so hot outside now. Sex is almost inbearable, we tried the other night and had to stop because it hurt me so bad. Any suggestions would help, but I'm really wondering about this pineapple thing, or any other foods.

just to add, this is my third child so i know what to expect, with my first i went a week over and second i was induced at 38 weeks. I don't want to do either again.

I understand the only thing to expect with pineapple at this stage is heart burn. Walking is supposed to be best way to encourage the little trooper outta the nest. Congratulations. Sex? u are brave. As mentioned nature will kick in. Your body will tell u what u are hungry for. Good luck!
*save that pineapple for a Pina Colada btwn feedings depending on how u nurse.

I've never heard anything about pineapple inducing labour. You should just relax and enjoy the little time you have left before the baby comes. Trust me just enjoy relaxing and getting lots of sleep. As much as you are uncomfortable once the baby comes you will be so tired and walking around for about 2 weeks with the worst bleeding imaginable. Just wait it out.

Well seems like you have tried everything. Castor oil is a bad idea and can leave you with a severe case of diarrhea and a baby that is in distress...
I´m not far behind you so I understand how you feel, I´m 36 weeks, he/she will come when he/she is ready !!!
