Everyone at ghar tells me khajoor is super healthy and I should eat daily, but then someone said avoid in early pregnancy. Now im confused matlab which is right. Im 9 weeks. Why exactly should we avoid?
I felt so confused when my MIL told me to avoid dates, but I was craving them so much. My gynac said 1-2 dates are totally fine and actually helped my low iron levels.
I actually ate dates during my last month and had a smooth delivery. People say they produce heat, so maybe avoid eating too many in the early months, but they are great for iron.
Sending you so much warmth. You don't have to completely avoid dates, but because they are warm in nature, some suggest limiting them in the first trimester. Just check with your doctor for peace of mind.
I am planning my pregnancy too and kept hearing conflicting things about dates. It seems moderation is key, but I'll definitely ask the doctor during my pre-conception visit.
I can't give medical advice, but my doctor told me eating a couple of dates daily in the third trimester is fine and even helps with labor. Maybe ask your gynac how many are safe for you.
