My mom is telling me to eat khajoor daily, she says it helps in delivery time. Im in third trimester so dont know if its too much or fine. Anyone been told the same?
Oh absolutely, dates are amazing for pregnancy! They are packed with iron and fiber which helps so much with constipation. Just don't stress too much about the quantity, having 2-3 daily is super safe and healthy.
Dates are highly nutritious, but since they are very high in natural sugar, you have to be careful if you have gestational diabetes. I had GD during my pregnancy, so my doctor told me to limit or avoid them to keep my sugar levels stable. Always check your blood sugar levels before adding them to your diet.
I just delivered a baby boy last month and honestly, dates were my absolute favorite snack! I ate about 5-6 dates daily in my third trimester, and it really helped with a smooth delivery. They are great for energy and natural sweetness when you have late-night cravings.
Yes, dates are wonderful. My little one is a toddler now, but during my pregnancy, I used to eat 4-6 dates daily in my 9th month because my doctor said it helps with labor. Trust me, it really kept my energy levels up and made a difference.
Yes, please eat them! They give a great natural energy boost, which I desperately need now that my baby wakes me up every hour. Back then, they also helped keep my bowel movements smooth, which is a major victory in pregnancy, let me tell you!
