Hello
Thank you for writing to HealthCareMagic
I understand your concern.
There are many myths circulating among women that eating pineapples during pregnancy may cause a miscarriage. This falsehood is based on the presence of bromelain.It has a history of being used as an abortificant, but actual studies show that the effect it has on the uterus are weak at best.If you are pregnant , Pineapples will not help you abort .
Best Regards
