Ok, I know I am going to sound like a complete moron here, but I thought I heard that eating fresh pineapple was good for helping conceive and in having a healthy pregnancy, so I started eating it like 2 or 3 dpo and have eaten it until today (I got my bfp3 days ago). All of a sudden today I hear it causes spontaneous abortions!!! I looked online and found some info on it. I'm of course freaking out now....has anyone heard this and is it true? I haven't eaten like TONS, but a few slices a day. I'm already at high risk for miscarriage due to past pregnancies. :-( Has anyone here eaten fresh pineapple and it's ok or heard from dr.'s it's ok? (it is just the fresh kind, not canned).....thanks...

I have heard that too about pineapple, but keep forgetting to ask my doctor about it!! I eat fresh pineapple all the time...so far nothing has happened..thanks for the reminder though, hopefully I remember to ask my doc. at my next visit.

I've been eating it like it's going out of style lately and I never ate it before...I can't imagine something like that that is fairly common and natural would cause miscarriages and it's not splashed all over the news...???

I craved fresh pineapple when I first found out I was pregnant and I ate it everyday!!

I never heard about eating pineapple to get pg but I used it to help go into labor with my son. I am sure small amounts won't hurt : )

i asked my doc at my last appointment as i went through this in my 2nd trimester.. she said you would have to be eating 2 or 3 WHOLE pineapples a day in order for it to do any damage.. if you're just eating 2 or 3 slices, then you should be ok... I went through maybe 2 or 3 weeks where I was eating 5 or 6 slices a day... speaking of that, i think i'll get some more... I'm in my 28th week now and everything is alright... anything that you eat, just eat it in moderation and you should be alright.

Never heard of that and I think I did every thing I heard to get you PG. It does sound really good now that I have been reading about it, got to get some today. Yum-Yum

I never heard that before, but I ate a ton of fresh pineapple on Thanksgiving. I was about 7 weeks then and I'm still AOK.

i have had a ton of fresh pineapple throughout my pregnancy and i am 24 weeks. i would eat probably a full pineapple in a few days by myself!
