I absolutely loved stuffing my dates with some peanut butter or almonds for a quick sweet craving! Sticking to about 2-4 dates a day is perfect to satisfy your sweet tooth without overdoing the calories.
Yaar, dates are super healthy but don't eat too many at once. Actually, eating 2-3 dates a day in the early months is fine, and you can increase it to 4-6 in the ninth month. Just don't overdo it because they are very sweet.
With my thyroid and sugar tracking, I had to be very careful with sweet fruits. I only had 2 dates a day after checking with my doctor. Do keep up with your regular doctor visits to ensure your sugar levels are fine.
According to my pregnancy app, eating 4-6 dates daily in the last month can actually help with labor and cervical ripening. For the first two trimesters, sticking to 2 dates a day is great for iron. Track your blood sugar levels too!
During my consultation at the hospital, my dietitian recommended starting with 2 dates daily and then moving to 6 dates in the 36th week. It's always best to ask your gynac or dietitian, especially if you have high blood sugar.
