Hey preggies! Found this very interesting study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology on the consumption of dates in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. Although the sample size was small, the investigators found a significant increase in spontaneous labor, and a decrease in use of medications to induce labor in the mothers who ate at least 6 dates daily compared with moms who ate none. For all the moms hoping to not go past your due date, or to be induced, eating dates might be worth a try.

The study found that eating dates during the last month of pregnancy had at least the following beneficial effects: Cervical dilation of the date-eaters upon admission to the hospital was higher than that of the control group. Spontaneous labor occurred more frequently in the date-eating group than in the control group. Women who ate dates had a lower chance of needing prostin or oxytocin during labor. These hormones are used to induce labor. The first stage of labor for the date-eaters was also significantly shorter than the non-date-eaters.
