Dates help with Labor?

So I’m officially 35 Weeks🎊 and I’ve been doing some research on natural ways to Help Ease Labor -not start it- and one of those was dates. Does anyone have experience with eating dates and making labor go smoother? I’m not biggest fan, but I’ll eat them, I just hate how much sugar is in them but oh well🤷🏼‍♀️🤰🏼

** Fun Fact. I’m a Christian but in the Quran did you know that God told Mary to eat dates while pregnant with Jesus?! So cool and interesting right??!
