What a delicious way to help reduce labour durations.

The women who consumed date fruit had significantly higher mean cervical dilatation upon admission compared with the non-date fruit consumers (3.52 cm vs 2.02 cm, p < 0.0005), and a significantly higher proportion of intact membranes (83% vs 60%, p = 0.007). Spontaneous labour occurred in 96% of those who consumed dates, compared with 79% women in the non-date fruit consumers (p = 0.024). Use of prostin/oxytocin was significantly lower in women who consumed dates (28%), compared with the non-date fruit consumers (47%) (p = 0.036). The mean latent phase of the first stage of labour was shorter in women who consumed date fruit compared with the non-date fruit consumers (510 min vs 906 min, p = 0.044). It is concluded that the consumption of date fruit in the last 4 weeks before labour significantly reduced the need for induction and augmentation of labour, and produced a more favourable, but non-significant, delivery outcome.

I often get asked “how late in my pregnancy can I still get a massage?”

Massage is safe during ANY stage of pregnancy. As long as there are no underlying health concerns that are contraindicated for massage, prenatal massage is safe and beneficial!

I took a long break for a few years only treating on a very part time basis.
Happy to be back at it! And now at my home clinic in Stouffville!
