In the dates there is one unique substance - oxytocin. Oxytocin is unique in that it helps a woman to begin a faster birth process. He also "starts" the work of the mammary glands, contributing to the active production of milk. Oxytocin is inherently a hormone, it also affects the muscle tissue of the body, contributing to their "correct" reduction, which helps to give birth quickly without gusts and unbearable pain.

There are dates allowed in any trimester of pregnancy. In the first two, they will get the maximum amount of useful microelements that the child needs for normal healthy development.
