My mom keeps telling me to eat khajoor daily for easy delivery. Im in my third trimester now. But how many is actually ok in a day? dont want to overdo it na.
I am planning to conceive soon and I'm already making a list of healthy snacks like dates! It's so cool that they can help with natural labor later on. How do you all prefer to eat them, raw or with milk?
Dates are a beautiful, natural gift packed with nutrients. Just eat 2 or 3 daily with a positive mind, thanking God for this sweet journey. Take good care of your health and keep praying!
I ate about 4 dates daily in my third trimester to help with my energy and constipation. Even though I ended up needing a C-section for other reasons, they really helped me keep my iron levels up during recovery.
My mother-in-law advised me to avoid dates in the hot summer months, but my doctor said having 2-3 dates daily is perfectly fine for iron. I trusted my doctor and had them regularly without any issues.
My doctor advised that 2-4 dates a day are great for iron and fiber in the early months. However, studies show that eating 6 dates daily starting from the 36th week can actually help soften the cervix for labor.
I was so scared of eating too many because they produce 'heat' in the body! I strictly stuck to just 2 dates a day in the first two trimesters, and then increased it to 4-5 in the 9th month after my doctor said it's safe.
