Hi debb,
i've been reading your posts for quite sometime and I read that pineapple juice thing. Well I don't know about pineapple juice, but, in india they say that you shouldn't eat papaya (especially raw) and asafoetida (an indian spice) during pregnancy. It causes misscariage. Raw papaya contains an enzyme called papain which tenderizes meat and that is the reason why they recommend not to take papaya during pregnancy. I don't know if this is a myth or fact but there is nothing wrong in avoiding these things if somebody is saying.
