I'm Currently Feeling:  | YAY! Sounds like something is definitely happening!! I hope its really soon for you!!
One thing to keep in mind tho, make sure you keep watch about how much blood it is. If it becomes more of a flow, call the doc. I hope your LO decides to make an appearance soon!!!!  |

I didn't know about pineapple's, is that supposed to work? x | This was a reply I got on a thread I posted the other day: Quote:
"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.
Does it work?
There is some debate about the role played by bromelain on prostaglandins, which soften the cervix to prepare it for labour. Some studies actually suggest that bromelain inhibits prostaglandin activity while others think the opposite. Regardless of this, eating large quantities of pineapple is likely to stimulate the gut and bowel and, as with castor oil, could kick-start the uterus into action by that means.
How do I try it?
The pineapple must be fresh: bromelain is destroyed by the process of canning or juicing."

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have a stubborn baby for sure. But I want him/her to come SOON.
Oh and sex is NOT an option AT ALL.....I will probably have to eat 10 lbs of pineapple to get things going. |
