A pineapple
On the forums, you will probably find a hypothesis that pineapple contains some kind of substance that causes a burning sensation in the mouth. Some are convinced that pineapple can somehow get into the uterus and cause it to contract.
There is no scientific evidence for this exotic hypothesis.
If you get too carried away with pineapple, you will only provoke heartburn.

Alcohol
Previously, doctors believed that alcohol can weaken and completely stop labor. However, in 1981, scientists conducted a large-scale study on this matter, which proved that alcoholic beverages do not affect this in any way. Where did the myth that alcohol can also speed up labor come from is unclear.
Alcohol is a real danger for a pregnant woman, can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, and even affect the health of the child.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture belongs to the field of alternative medicine; its effect on humans has not been proven in practice.Perhaps we are talking about the placebo effect. But there is no need to talk about the real benefits for stimulating labor.
