Eating dates

I’m trying to eat the dates, drink the tea, etc. However it’s hard to be consistent with the dates they kind of gross me out. Do you think it will help at all when I just eat a few when I can vs strictly eating 6/day lol or should I just forget the dates?

I add them in smoothies. Easiest way to eat them.

The best protein shake / smoothie recipe.
Protein powder of your choice (I prefer chocolate or vanilla) banana, peanut butter, milk, ice, spinach, and dates. The dates taste like caramel and make it soooo good. I’d just put a bunch in that daily and sip on it. Made it easier for me.

I also cut them in half long ways, put peanut butter and a few chocolate chips and it tasted like a snickers to me.

You can also try some of the Lara bars I believe? If you go in the grocery isle for granola bars a lot of bars are date based. Like Lara, RX bars etc. they usually have atleast 2 dates in them.

I can’t get 6 down either, I get 4 at the most usually. They are really good if you cut them in half, put peanut butter, some chocolate chips and freeze them

For dates go buy some larabars. They are date bars that have 5 ingredients and taste GREAT I love the lemon and blueberry ones!

I’m 34 weeks should I start eating them now? My baby is so low I can feel him to a point I gotta sit with my legs wide open because his head is so damn low. I’m kinda scared about eating dates and drink the tea too early. Freaking out it might tryna make it early.

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
