I don’t know about the rest but I hate taking iron pills. Every time after I took it, whether on empty stomach or after meal, I will sure have a feeling of vomiting which will last for hours. Therefore in my 1st pregnancy, I only take iron pill once a week and I drink red dates drink every other day, and I didn’t have any low blood problem at all.
This time I am doing the same but I have become lazier & only manage to prepare the red dates drink once a week. But I'm planning to prepare it more often as my last blood test results showed that I'm a little bit low in blood count & haemoglobin.
To prepare the drink, just take a rice bowl full of red dates (buy the big ones) & 1/3 bowl of dong sum, boil in 2L of water for half an hour & drink it everyday. It is up to you to use the seedless red dates as some said the seeds are "heaty", but what I heard is the seeded red dates is actually better; just that you need to cut it into half before boiling it, so the lazy me just buy the seedless one la.

Hi chinnee & laundryamah, I'm no big fan of that but compare to iron pills, uhhhh I rather take red dates drink. Confinement time lagi no choice la have to take.
Why don't you boil more and put it in a thermos? At least can keep for 2-3 days and it is warm too when you pour it out.
wah i love them leh... my mom made them real thick, like soup hahaha
oh karen, i tagged u for the meaning of dillion's name (u can add baby's too if u want :p)
hi vien, i didn't know that it can be kept for 2-3 days? normally I finish within a day or two. i shall try to do that. thx.

yes red dates drink is good for u. At first i hate it so much. Then after confinement i tried water and water taste YUCK! hahaha
Hey...i'm not sure if you believe or not. My chinese sinseh said black dates are much better than the red ones. So when I was pregnant and during confinement, I only drank black dates drink. He said it's more "poh" but many people think it's the red ones that are good ;)
I trust him because I couldn't get pregnant for a few years until i started taking the herbs he prescribed :D
er... I dont know have to drink red dates one during pregnancy. But had a lot during confinement. I think 5-6 cups a day. I like it.
Malaika's mummy, red dates drinks can be taken anytime, even not pregnant. It's esp good for those who had low blood problem.
