Pregnancy Tip: A pineapple a day makes the heartburn go away "Fresh pineapple (eaten in small amounts)
Yeah ok, a small amount? I ate a whole pineapple this morning. A WHOLE pineapple. Was it enough to eat? Nope..but I am watching the weight I pack on, so no food till lunch.
Please give me a list of fruits to be avoided during pregnancy.Is pineapple harmful?

Posted by: Mrs. hamidha on June 27, 2005 05:29 AMhi there, pineapple can be used as an inducer for labour and can be dangerous if eaten in large amounts in early pregnancy. It was a doctor and then my midwife who told me this. Also papaya has a similiar inducer.
