My saas told me to start eating dates only in the last month, the ninth month. She said it helps for delivery. But ask your doc also, they sometimes have different opinions on quantity, so it's good to get clarity.
Dates are really good, but not for early pregnancy due to their sugar content. Most doctors suggest starting them around 36 weeks, maybe 6-7 dates a day. It's a natural way to support cervical ripening. Just confirm with your doc first.
I read so much about dates, like 6 dates a day in the last month! But then some said too much sugar. I was so confused. It's best to confirm with your gynac first, they will tell you if it's right for you and when to start.
Dates are usually for the last trimester, like after 36 weeks. They help with natural labour. Don't start too early. And definitely ask your doctor about the right amount for you, especially if you have any sugar concerns or gestational diabetes.
