How unhealthy is it to eat pizza in the last month of pregnancy? Can you eat the pineapple on it?

I don't think that pizza is unhealthy since it's baked and not fried. Moreover there's a lot of cheese in it that can give you the calcium boost. It is not encouraged to eat pineapples in large quantity but those in pizzas are considered little. http://sg.theasianparent.com/pregnancy_diet_donts/ If you want to have a healthier pizza you can make it your own. Use wholemeal flour as the pizza base instead of the regular flour. Use fruits like avocados, and raisins as the toppings. Instead of pepperoni or ham, use chicken breast instead. Just need to get your creativity going!

Moderation is the key! As long as it is fully cooked and not raw you can definitely eat it. For pineapple, it is okay to eat in small amount. Bromelain, a type of proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple, helps to soften the cervix which could ease the labor, but it should be consumed in larger quantities. http://www.momjunction.com/articles/safe-eat-pineapple-pregnancy_002951/
