I’ve been buying 500g for under £5 at ASDA. Some say it has to be Medjool, some say any dates are fine. I’m really enjoying them with some peanut butter and walnuts on top 😋

These look so much cheaper , idk why my morrisons only sells the fancy medjool dates that all in a tray 🤣

Yes i have been having raspberry leaf tea with pineapple juice 😅

With the medjool dates they are bigger, juicier (taste much better IMO). As they are larger you only need approx 3-4 a day - I bought a pack on Amazon for £12 so a bit more expensive but comes with loads!!

If you go to world food shops they have big boxes of dates far cheaper than the supermarket and high quality ones too. Medinah dates I ate when I was pregnant and got addicted to them in the end haha

I bought medjool from Amazon. They were about £14 but hey ho. They look nice

I was always told medjool dates for first and second trimester and then sukkary dates in the third trimester. I would suggest going to your local world foods shops and you will find a relatively affordable selection to choose from.

Holland and Barrett or Tesco sell them cheaper than that :)

Do all the above and definitely go on long walks, it helped me so so so much

Is anyone else worried about how much sugar and calories this would be?

Avatar

that combo sounds amazing!

Avatar

I have cut out other sweet treats to help balance, but yes it is a lot of sugar!

oh that's a good plan! I guess as well we are eating them for health right now and this is what is good for right now!

Tunisian dates from the local halal shop were £4 for a huuge box
If you can get to or get someone to get to a Costco, they have medjool in a big crate as well

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
