Pineapple

My midwife told me yesterday to encourage labour.... instead of just eating pineapple you should suck the core as this contains the most enzymes which kick start labour.

So therefore im going to bounce on my birth ball later whilst sucking a lineapple core... (if anyone could see me they'd think id gone mad)

Il let you know if there is any progress!

And with a cup of raspberry tea in the other hand lol!!

Good luck! I hope things get moving for you soon!

I heard that nine pineapples is the required amount to help set things off! I wonder if that means you should be sucking on nine pineapple cores?

Ohhh, I hope it works for you. Is bouncing on the ball supposed to help too?

I can barely eat ONE pineapple never mind nine of them! If I get desperate enough I reckon I could do it though!

yeah apparently bouncing on the ball encourages the baby to move down and engage more. I only started doing it last week on advice from the midwife. You need good leg muscles for it though. I only manage half an hour in the night!

Are you supposed to bounce or rock though?? I have one in my room but can never be bothered to do it but if it helps I might try

Hope it works for you but I hate pineapple so hope I don't have to do that!
