Everyone keeps saying khajoor is good for normal delivery but no one tells me when to start. Im around 5 months now. Should i begin now or wait till later?
I read that some mums eat a few dates daily in the last weeks and my gynac said it was fine for me. A couple of dates a day through pregnancy is generally good for energy and iron. If you have sugar concerns, check the amount with your doctor.
Beta in our family we always increased khajoor in the last couple of months, elders say it helps with strength near delivery. A few a day is enough, don't overdo it. They give nice energy and help with iron too.
Just a small caution, dates are high in natural sugar, so with my gestational diabetes I had to limit them. If your sugar is fine, a few are great. Otherwise ask your doctor about the right number for you.
