Eating dates during pregnancy?

Question

I've seen a few things about women eating 6 dates a day during pregnancy to shorten labor, anyone know when to start eating them? Online says a whole bunch of different things I am confused!

Answer

I ate 2 or 3 a day from the beginning of my pregnancy to help with constipation, until it got so extreme I had to switch to a daily still softener. I don't think it's bad to eat them at any point in your pregnancy.

Answer

I ate a couple daily starting toward the beginning of my pregnancy. I don't know that it helped much with labor but they are yummy and have lots of good nutrition in them so didn't hurt any. Also now that I've been breastfeeding my son I've noticed a slight increase in milk production when I eat them.
