Do dates help to induce labour?

Question

Is it true? I’ve seen a few posts from midwives on Instagram and I was just wondering if it’s a myth or true? And if it’s true, how many dates a day?

Answer

6 dates a day in your third help strengthen your uterus and studies have shown that it decreases postpartum bleeding. It won't put you into labor but there's still so many benefits to eating them

Answer

U have to have at least six a day for several months in a row, and the point is to help prepare  ur cervix for while ur in labor, it absolutely won’t put u into labor.

Answer

It is a old wives tale. Your baby will come when it is ready. The only thing that will truly help you is time.

Answer

Why, though? Let baby cook as long as he or she needs to.
