Dates?

Question

Anyone starting to eat dates yet? I didn't do that last time but I've read there is research supporting like 3 dates a day after 36 weeks, I think, which is next week for me.

Answer

I believe the research showed it needed to be 6+ dates a day to make a difference.
I tried with my last but hated the taste so much. This time around I’ve been blending them into a small smoothie! So much more manageable than chopped in oatmeal or in sweet bars!

Answer

I’m 32 weeks and I’ve started eating at least 3 dates a day...

Answer

I’ve started here and there. My last pregnancy I ate 8-10 dates a day and I was 100% effaced at 39 weeks! You reminded me to pick it back up again. I always added in oatmeal or a smoothie.

Answer

I never knew this and this is my third. I am going to eat dates from 36 weeks on. It maybe a week earlier since I have GD and will be induced (and really want to avoid getting induced). 
I already ordered raspberry leave tea. 
My second baby came at 39+5 but very very fast. Almost got her on the parking lot of the hospital.

Answer

What is it good for? Does it help bring on labour?
