Just caught onto the rumor that pineapple, mango and papaya are considered natural remedies for labor induction. It really weirds me out because all I have been craving is fruit these days. Each morning I wake up and eat the following: Pineapple, mango, papaya, watermelon and yogurt. Even at my mid-day meals I have been getting pineapple juice with mint.
Keep in mind that all of these fruits and fruit juices are fresh which is exactly what the wives tale instructs. Apparently the enzyme bromelain, present in these fruits, causes an anti-inflammatory response and also act to slow clotting and is believed to help soften connective tissues in the lady parts.....
Back in the day the Indigenous people of the America's used pineapple to terminate unwanted pregnancies as well as other several other medical purposes. You can go to this link if you really are interested in the other properties of the enzyme Bromelain.
So much for Nate telling me to just sit down to avoid labor :) Just because of this information doesn't mean I am going to stop eating these fruits. I am a big believer in listening to your body and what it wants. Everything happens for a reason even if we don't always know that reason.
When Belle is ready to come she will come and I doubt that I have control over the situation!!
Still in a tiny bit of shock over the random news!
Tchau,
Sara
