I enjoy eating dates, but some people have told me they should be avoided in early pregnancy. I'm in my first trimester and want to know if they are actually safe to consume. What's the general opinion on this?
I had crazy sweet cravings in my first trimester and dates were my absolute savior! I used to chop 2 dates and put them in my milk. Just don't eat the whole box in one go, even though they are delicious!
Haan, bilkul safe hain but quantity limit me rakhna. Early pregnancy me jyada "garam" cheezein avoid karni chahiye, so just eat 1 or 2 dates a day. No need to worry, moderation is always the best way.
Oh, I was so scared to eat dates early on because my MIL said they cause contractions! But my doctor reassured me that 1-2 dates are perfectly fine and actually help with energy. Still, if you feel anxious, just check with your gynac once to be at peace.
I’m in my 10th week now and actually had the same question last week. My mom told me to avoid them till the 2nd trimester just to be safe, but my friend eats them daily. Are you guys eating them raw or with warm milk?
Since I had some bleeding in my first pregnancy, my doctor asked me to avoid dates and other heat-inducing foods initially. If you have had any previous complications, it’s really best to check with your gynac before eating them.
