I have started eating 2 to 3 medjlool dates daily from last 1 1.5 week but i have heard that you should avoid it till the start of 36th week as it can ripen cervix and induce early labor so should i avoid it the whole 8th month or continue eating them?

Dont completely avoid it. just eat 1-2 dates on alternate days.
No harm,u can use dates as it did not expedite the onset of labour,it only reduced the need for labour augmentation.Therefore ,dates consumption in late pregnancy is safe supplement to considered
No worries keep eating it no harm its hematinic you need ironat this stage
