Anyone ever try eating dates in previous pregnancies?

Question

I'm a FTM, any moms with previous pregnancies try eating 6 dates per day after 35 weeks and had a smooth quicker labor than average? I read blogs and people's experiences that eating dates daily help soften cervix but wanted to hear from anyone who's actually done it and noticed a quicker labor. 
My midwife has never heard of this before, and I don't know how much I believe in it but willing to try!
Thanks!

Answer

I can't stand dates so I didn't try it but hear sooooo sooooo much about it helping.... I can kinda see what it might help cuz of all the vitamins in them..... they say cinnamon helps too....

Answer

I'm going to do it! Only since the data comes from a respected peer reviewed journal.
