eating dates x

hey all,

so i’m 35 weeks pregnant and i started eating 6 dates a day and they gave me mild period cramps 🙃 is that what happens? i’ve stopped as i wasn’t sure… i will ask at my next midwife appointment on friday but i wanted to ask on here while i wait.

if that’s normal i’m happy to keep eating them, but if it was my bodies way of saying my body doesn’t agree with the effect they are having, of course il carry on not eating them.

any advice would help, thankyou ☺️ x x x
