Is pineapple safe in PG?

[Houseofblue]

Sorry for another food question but is pineapple safe in early PG? I am craving it bad, never craved it in my other PG's so didn't eat it...but I really want to order pizza with pineapple on it but I heard it can cause labor. I am only 8.5 weeks but have a history of m/c's (they were chromosomal abnormalities) and worried maybe I shouldn't eat it?

Do any of you eat pineapple in the first trimester??

Of course!! I ate literally anything and everything during my pregnancy (just tried my best to avoid chemicals like HFCS, or toxins like mercury and pesticides). Any fruits or veggies are safe.

I had pineapple in the first trimester but I usually buy it in small packs of 2 or 3 fingers or small snack tubs in juice. It should be fine in moderation.

The only fruit I wouldn't actually bother with is rhubarb because of toxicity. But again, a one-off small amount isn't going to cause any problem.

Thanks ladies!!! So you think a sprinkling of pineapple pieces on half a pizza would be ok?

[bluebonnet22]

Definitely. I ate pineapple daily in my green smoothies will pregnant (including in first trimester). It's one of my favorite foods.

That's my main pineapple consumption right there - enjoy! Not that all I eat is pizza, but my pizza always has pineapple bits on it x

Oh my I think I ate a whole pineapple every day for 2 weeks with DD3 and she was still 9 days late!! Also had vindaloo, so much for that theory!! I think it's the bromelain/bromelin (not sure of spelling!) in pineapple that's supposed to help but you would have to eat tons so I doubt pizza topping would do much. Enjoy!

Thanks babybeaublue! I ended up eating vegetable fried rice because after debating about eating the pineapple pizza for so long, it didn't seem appetizing anymore lol. I'm sure it will again tho lol. One thing I do hate is that my diet becomes so unhealthy in PG since I can't eat all the lower-fat and lower-cal things I love that are raw or not cooked, etc. Any tips? I lost about 10 pounds with the LE diet and look good and I don't wanna get chunky again

Pardon me for poking in...but why do you ask? Did you hear something about pineapple? I guess I've always thought that ANY fruit or vegetable is on the okay list...
