Tag a pregnant mama! π€°β

Did you know that eating 6 dates a day in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy *could* help labour spontaneously start, and showed lowered rates of synthetic oxytocin to both commence and augment labour. πβ

Be aware though, that this study has very, very low sample size, meaning that there wasn't very many women involved in the study (69 date consumers and 45 non-date consumers). It's certainly not enough to claim that these outcomes will help all pregnant mamas, but if you're impartial to a date or 6, why not give it a go!β
