Dates?

Question

Hi ladies, 
I’m trying for a VBAC, I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I read dates are good to eat for a natural labor. Wondering if any of you ladies tried eating this before, and if it worked... I’m already using the birth ball and walking a lot amongst other exercises to “hopefully” achieve a successful VBAC.

Answer

I don't think they induce labor I'm pretty sure they just ripen the cervix but hey worth a try right they aren't bad for you!

Answer

I’m currently eating them leading up to labour.. can’t hurt right?  Studies have shown that it sped up the first stage (1-10 cm) of labour in 80% women by up to half! I’ll take that if I can!

Answer

Mama Natural says to eat 6 dates a day and it supposed to help labor. I just don’t want diarrhea from it 😂

Answer

Kind of irrelevant to your question but how many c-sections have you had?
