Thanks Ani,Akila

Came to know that fruits like watermelon,pineapple and papaya are not safe since they can increase estrogen and naturally contain protease,which isnt safe for the womb...and also since as I said earlier dates help to get a regular periods it might also have some effect on these hormones, was not able to get the details,because in office most of the sites are blocked:bonkMay be you can google for "Safety of eating dates/banana during preganancy" to know the side effects.
Found this in net ,very helpful for pregnant(conceiving) ladies;not sure about its authenticity though: Veggies & fruits during pregnancy.
