A friend who has just given birth (4 weeks ago) just flagged this study to me about eating dates in the 4 week lead up to giving birth. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28286995/

She believes her quick delivery was down to eating dates every day.

Ok so I am no scientist, but I do like dates and I would love 

a quick delivery so I’ll give it a go.. I’m off for a date with some dates! Watch this space…..
