The Science

Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can help with digestion, but in high amounts, it has the potential to cause uterine contractions. Moderate consumption is typically safe; however, some women may experience sensitivity to bromelain during pregnancy, which could lead to digestive issues.

As with any food, it’s important to listen to your body. If you enjoy pineapple, consuming it in moderation as part of a balanced diet can be beneficial. However, it’s always wise to consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or if you experience any unusual symptoms after consuming pineapple.
