My aunt keeps telling me to eat dates daily now for strength but i also heard people say start dates only in last months. Im in my 5th month currently. Is it fine to have them now or should i wait?
Beta, khajoor is very good, full of iron and strength. We always gave it to expecting mothers. 2-3 a day is enough na, dont eat too many because of the sugar. Your body will love them.
My family swears by dates in the later months, some even say it helps later on for delivery. I enjoyed a few daily and felt good. Keep it moderate, and if you have any sugar concern just mention it to your gynac.
Ooh dates are so yum and a guilt-free sweet fix in pregnancy. I'd have a couple when I craved something sweet instead of mithai. Just dont go overboard, they're sweet little bombs haha.
Dates are healthy and iron rich, but just a heads up they're high in natural sugar. I had to watch my count because of GD. If your sugar is normal, a couple a day is lovely, otherwise check the quantity with your doctor.
Yes, dates in the 5th month are absolutely fine in moderation. They're great for iron and energy. A few a day is plenty, no need to eat a whole box. I had them through both pregnancies.
