Is pineapple safe in PG?

[Houseofblue]

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

Oh wow!!!! Ok this makes me feel better!! May order that pineapple pizza today lol

The core is sometimes eaten to induce labor and occasionally people take high doses of bromelian (the chemical in pinapple) to induce labor or to aid in implantation. But trust me - it does NOTHING OMG ate so much pineapple with DS 4 and did not help at all

A sane amount of pineapple is fine!! And any amount of cooked, canned pineapple is also fine. I would not eat 177 pineapple cores or take high dose bromelian supps.

re oxalates - spinach and rhubarb and a few other veg have this chemical called oxalic acid and it can cause gout and kidney stones when eaten in high amounts. Since the question that was linked, was specifically for someone asking if they can use rhubarb for a boy sway (meaning possibly eat it quite a bit for swaying) then I'd prob not do that and would not eat it every day during pg when you are more likely to have kidney stones anyway. But rhubarb and spinach in reasonable amounts is perfectly fine

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...[/QUOTE]
Wow I'm 5ft 8 so can get away with a little extra weight but even then 3 stone is pushin it lol. I'm the same with salads etc you just know they haven't been washed don't you! My heaviest baby was 8lbs 12 and I have to say I find the bigger they are the easier the delivery. Pass the chocolates!!!

That's how I am, i still packed on 70 lbs - not sure how many stones that is- and I ate healthy and exercised frequently. Then it took me 20 months to lose a majority of it, still had 20 lbs left when we got our bfp with #2. Then I put on precisely the same amount again ! I lost a ton of weight until my periods came back 4 months pp, then I put on some more weight.

Now I'm pregnant with #3 and I've not recovered.. *sigh* Praying I don't had food aversions to healthy things again like with #2, I went from no caffine and a vegan menu to hating veggies and craving meat and caffine. Blah. lol

Good post about the pine apple btw ! I have a new pineapple corer I've been wanting to try out. I knew pinapple core helped implantation but that's all I knew.

Just wanted to let you guys know I had a pineapple pizza today and it was delish!!! Was a bit nervous at first but thought about what atomic said.

Yes I'm 5'2" and went up to 180 lbs last PG!!!!!! My normal weight is 130 (it was 119 when I had DS1 but after that my normal became 130). I lost a TON of weight this last year and got back down to 130 but I can already feel the weight coming on and I'm only 10 weeks....really worried about getting huge again ((

Glad you had your pizza and enjoyed it! 👍😀

cooked/canned pineapple literally CANNOT be a problem because cooking destroys the chemical that is said to help induce labor. eat up!
