Is pineapple safe in PG?

I eat it and ate it constantly during all pregnancies. No early labor for me! It's perfectly fine to eat :)

Oh my goodness no matter what I eat I still end up putting on about 3 stone every time!!! I tried to be really healthy with dd4 by eating lots of fruit and chicken with veg for dinner and I tried to keep up the exercise., it just resulted in my littlest baby (6lb 14 ) and I still put on the same amount of weight!!

Why is rhubarb toxic?! I am so sad to hear this!

Totally fine

Anchor- supposedly pineapple can cause contractions or start labor??

Babybeaublue- oh girl I gain so much weight when PG :( I do ok the first 4 or 5months and then BAM, I gain like 60 or 70 lbs!!!!! I also am one of the few that gain weight when BFing!! I can't win! :( I would LOVE a 6 lb baby, mine are always around 9 pounds, my DS3 was almost 10 lbs (and I am 5' 2" lol)! I'll admit tho I do not eat well when PG, because I am always so scared of eating "fresh" things like salads (which I love) etc because of listeria or toxo etc...

Mrsandmama- how much pineapple do u eat at one sitting?

I just had hawaiian pizza about 4 days ago. Had never heard anything about pineapple. I can't eat the crust but I can eat the pineapple.

What is it about rhubarb that is toxic? My Mom is making a rhubarb pie for Mothers day and I was going to have some... haven't heard that it was toxic other than the leaves are toxic to animals if eaten in large quantities. I can't have much anyway cause there is so much sugar in it.

Something called oxelate (sp?). I asked AS several months ago about it as I'd heard about the being something about rhubarb. Again, a small amount likely won't hurt, but not something I'd eat much of:

I have never heard anything about it in early pregnancy and I just ate a small bowl yesterday... :)

The HT ladies are eating pineapple prior to embryo transfer...it's supposed to help with implantation.
