Eating dates in third trimester? Does this count?

Question

I've heard a lot about women eating dates in the last half of their trimester to help with labor and such. Has anyone tried this? I'd love to hear your about your experiences!

Also, these RXBars contain dates. I know that the theory says to eat 6 dates per day, but I I ate one of these bars, would that count as two dates towards my daily intake??

Answer

My grandma told me about the dates too! lol I'm not in third trimester just yet but Ill be buying the actual dates but I don't know about your bar...looks like you'd get your serving but if you get bored with the bar the real dates are delicious lol kind of addicting too once you start eating them lol

Answer

I did the dates....it did nothing for me. I was a week late, pushed 5 hours and ended up with an emergency csection. Everyone is different. U hear of people who do nothing and go to hospital and 1 hr later she's 10cm and half a push the baby is out.

Answer

Don't think so :/ if you just aren't into dates so much or whatever else, dried dates do count and are easier to get down

Answer

No it doesn't the dates have to be fresh not processed. That's what I've been told. So to each their though lol.

Answer

Yes it would
