Hi everyone 👋🏻 There’s been a few new faces so thought I’d reintroduce myself…

I’m Grace and I am The Birth Surfer! I live near Southend with my two beautiful children and my husband of 6 years (though we’ve been together for 13!!!)

I’m absolutely bonkers for physiological birth, antenatal education and breastfeeding support. Helping women to reach their goals lights me up 🔥 it genuinely does. I am currently training to be a breastfeeding counsellor and I am a qualified doula with Hypnobirthing credentials that I can now add to the list!

I love breastfeeding, babywearing and bedsharing. If my 25 year old self saw me now she’d call me a hippy weirdo, and I am totally ok with that! My other big passions in life are being by the sea (hence the business name 🌊) and eating cake/baked goods 🧁

DM me to find out how we can work together ❤️ I have a range of antenatal packages including a virtual Hypnobirthing masterclass and in person support.

// CAN DATES HELP YOU IN LABOUR? //

Evidence suggests that eating dates on the lead up to your due date can help to shorten your labour by up to 77%!

One intriguing benefit of consuming dates during pregnancy is their potential to shorten the duration of labour. A small study found that women who ate dates had a significantly higher mean cervical dilation than those who hadn’t, and their latent phases were shorter on average (based on 6 dates a day for the last 4 weeks of gestation). The study states:

”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.”

Another study in 2013 had very similar conclusions.

It definitely isn’t guaranteed, but it’s something to think about! This week I’ll be sharing the other benefits of dates in pregnancy.
