Hi dear ,

The symptoms you mention in query are clearly indicating allergic reaction . In pregnancy women to get allergic to foods that they never were allergic to before and pineapple is one of theos food . There are other cause also which can cause such symptoms like Bell's Palsy , Spinal Compression , Nerve Compression . But there is nothing to panic as in your case its because of allergic reaction. It the symptoms are getting better then there is nothing to worry . If symptoms persist for longer time or get worse then consult gynecologist for proper examination . Avoid foods like kiwi fruits, pineapples, bananas and soy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
