For those of you who are eating dates during your pregnancy, how many are you consuming per day? I've been trying to do some research on a good amount and, of course, the interwebz has all sorts of conflicting information (: I plan on asking my OB but my next appointment isn't until next Wednesday.
Thanks! (:
Thanks! (:

from what I have read the more the better lol. I am eating 6-7 a day spread out through the day.0

It's meant to be 6 a day, which is about 30g a day.0

Thanks ladies! I've been eating the 30g/day which has been a struggle since I can't stand them, lol
Congrats, kcasey, on the birth of your beautiful baby! She's soooo precious! (:0 -
Can I ask: why 6 or 7 dates a day?
Dried dates?0 -

I'm not a fan of the taste but I'm willing to try anything at this point (:0 -
I eat mine in oatmeal which helps because I don't like them either. Although I skipped this week...Oopsy!0

Thanks for bringing me up to speed. I'll make a note in my diary at 36w. :-)0
