Faster labor with dates?

Question

Has anyone ate dates in their prior pregnancies and had a quick labor? Or is anyone planning to eat them around 35 weeks? I've been reading on the benefits of dates and I'm going to give them a try this time. My first pregnancy my water broke and I had no contractions on my own nor was I dilated. Even after I was put on pitocin I dilated slowly.

Answer

Yeah i am planning on starting eating dates at 36 weeks, actually my mama said that it is really known for it's help in inducing labor as well as giving your body enough strength to push. Also, as muslim, my religion has really indicated how beneficial dates are before and after labor, and our Profit adviced to take 7 dates daily for a better health 👍🏻

Answer

I'm starting at 36 weeks, eating 6-7 a day per recommendation from my doula. I've read positive case studies on it but who knows? If it helps, it helps.. If it doesn't, oh well! Not too much of a bother to eat dates for a month 😄

Answer

Dates are very effective for labor. Muslim women have been doing this for thousands of years (Mary, the mother of Jesus, ate dates while in labor). My sister-in-law was just telling me today that her friend had a twenty minute labor because she ate dates. I'll be doing the same.

Answer

I eat them everyday from now and I'm 31 weeks pregnant. It's very good for you
