A member asked:
I am 5 weeks pregnant, is eating pineapple safe, i read allot on the internet that it may cause an abortion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderation: It is reported that eating very large quantities fresh pineapple past the due date can help to bring on labor. I can not verify how accurate that claim is. However fresh pineapple contains bromelain which can soften the cervix & can stimulate smooth muscle contraction in large amounts. Many women eat pineapple through out pregnancy without issues. I would suggest moderation.
