Eating dates during pregnancy.

Dates are considered the world’s oldest cultivated fruit, with a history going back thousands of years. 

Dates offer a number of health benefits — especially for pregnant women.

Dates are full of vitamins and minerals. They're also rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from cell damage. During pregnancy, it’s important to eat a balanced diet with the key nutrients needed for you and your baby.

Dietary fiber, Dates contain a lot of dietary fiber, which helps with bowel movements. Four dates have about 6.7 grams of dietary fiber, equaling about 25% of the recommended daily intake of 20 to 35 grams. 

Dates can help relieve constipation. This is a common symptom during pregnancy, because hormones cause the gastrointestinal tract to slow down. Iron supplements, which many pregnant women take, can also increase the likelihood of constipation.

Potassium, Your body needs potassium to maintain fluid balance and support regular cell functioning. Less than 2% of adults in the U.S. meet the daily recommended amount of 4,700 milligrams of potassium. 

Another study showed that pregnant women who ate 6 dates a day for 4 weeks before their due date had a shorter first stage of labor and their cervix was softer before delivery. Eating dates in late pregnancy has also been shown to lessen the need for oxytocin, the medication used to start or speed up labor. 

There's no evidence showing any negative effects of eating dates during pregnancy.
