Don't worry, I've managed to get myself into a stress over all sorts of weird things so far this pregnancy!

I have heard that about pineapple inducing labour, but heard it moreso as an old wives tale so am not convinced it actually has any truth in it and didn't really think much more about it.

I can tell you though that I eat 4 pineapple rings the other week for my breakfast because we had no other food left in the house and I was perfectly fine
So I really don't think you have anything to worry about

I think thats just an old wives tale, like eating spicy food helps induces labour, the baby will come when he/she is ready and it will have nothing to do with the food you eat x

thanks to all of you, i think being pregnant turns you into a nutter!! freaking out over a pineapple cake is just a step to far i think, i need to get a grip. thanks again for your replies, i will now find something else to stress and worry about!!!!

I dont think a little pineapple cake will knock you into labor. If it helps I eat pineapple pizza almost every week since I got pregnant and have never had an issue with it. I love pineapple.

The other thing too is that NOTHING that's supposedly supposed to help trigger labour will work unless your body is ready for it.
