The widespread sharing of research and personal comments suggests that these discussions could influence attitudes towards eating dates during pregnancy, highlighting significant perceived benefits.
Abstract in brief
The study investigated how eating date fruit in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy affects labor and delivery, finding that women who ate dates had better outcomes such as higher cervical dilation on admission, more intact membranes, and shorter initial labor phases.
Women consuming dates were more likely to have spontaneous labor (96%) compared to non-eaters (79%) and needed less use of medications like prostocin for induction or augmentation.
Overall, eating date fruit close to delivery appears to improve labor progress and decrease intervention needs, but further randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm these findings.]

درس علماء أثر التمر على حوامل، أكلت كل واحدة ست تمرات يوميا لآخر 4 أسابيع في الحمل، وقارنوا هذا بنساء لم يأكلن أي تمر، فظهر أنّ آكلات التمر كانت الولادة عليهن أسهل، والولادة الطبيعية فيهن أكثر، ولم يحتجن إلى تدخل طبي لمساعدة وتسريع الولادة بنفس القدر.

@siandart There have been a couple small studies that show dates increase the rate of dialation, increased intact membranes (less chance of infection), higher rates of spontaneous labor, lower rates of pitocin, and shorter first stage of labor https://t.co/gGKYK9KYkK
