I have also heard from elders that we should avoid pineapple and papaya when trying to conceive. I am keeping away from them just to be safe and avoid any risks.
My gynac explained that pineapple has bromelain, which can theoretically soften the cervix, but you would have to eat like 8 to 10 whole pineapples at once for it to have any effect. Still, most doctors suggest avoiding it in the first trimester just as a precaution.
Listen, eating a piece by mistake won't cause any miscarriage, so don't freak out. But just to be on the safer side, avoid eating large quantities of it during your pregnancy. Stick to safe fruits like apples and pomegranates.
Arey haan, humare ghar mein toh sab strictly mana karte hain pineapple khaane se, bolte hain heat hoti hai. So I also avoided it fully during my time, safe raho toh hi achha hai na.
I totally understand how we get scared of eating even a single fruit thinking it might harm our sweet little baby. But a slice of pineapple won't hurt, though we avoid it just to be completely stress-free.
I get it, I also got a panic attack after accidentally eating a piece of pineapple in a salad! Honestly, a small amount is totally safe, but if it makes you anxious, it's better to just avoid it for your peace of mind.
