Anyone eating dates??

Question

If you didn’t know, it’s recommended to eat between 6-10 dates DAILY from 36 weeks until you give birth! Dates are proven to help soften and ripen your cervix for an easier/shorter labor. 
I absolutely HATE dates, but seem to be able to stomach Larabars so that’s how I’ve been getting my daily dose 😂

Answer

I ate 10 a day for weeks and did nothing

Answer

Ya I did and I was in labor for 27 hours so definitely didnt work for me 😂

Answer

I love eating bananas with peanut butter spread across the top and dates pushed into the peanut butter 🤤 so yummy! I do not like them by themselves either tho, you should try it like this!

Answer

I didn't eat any dates with my first and went into labor naturally at 38wk+5. 13 hours of contractions before my water broke add then an hour until baby came out. I really don't need things to go faster this time or we'll be delivering her unassisted

Answer

Tropical smoothie has this Chia banana boost smoothie with dates in it and I recreate it at home all the time. Healthy and delicious. You can taste the dates a bit but not as much as if you just at them on it's own. Maybe just blend them up with something.

Answer

I did with my 2nd and 3rd baby! Don’t know if I’ll do it this time though.
