Clinical Trial Summary

In France, around 20% of women exceed the term of 41 weeks' amenorrhoea (SA). Maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality are increased when the term is exceeded, which justifies inducing labour. However, induction also increases maternal and foetal morbidity. According to several studies, regular consumption of dates during the last month of pregnancy may increase the rate of spontaneous labour and natural childbirth. Single-centre, randomised, open-label, 3-arm study : Experimental group n°1: 'dietary advice + food provided'. Advice to eat 7 dates a day from 37 weeks' gestation until delivery. The quantity of dates required will be provided to the women. Experimental group 2: 'dietary advice alone'. Advice to eat 7 dates a day from 37 weeks' gestation until delivery. The food will not be provided. Control group: no specific dietary advice. Routine care group.
