Fasting while Pregnant?

Question

Ramadan Kareem !

I am currently 6 months pregnant, no medical issues, and fasting. I am just curious to know if there are any Muslim women who are also fasting during their pregnancy, and if not why?

Answer

My friend is fasting (against her doctors advice) she has two children both with developmental delays ... She has a medical condition that already effects the babies ability to absorb nutrients... Her two kids are very behind though they are sooo sweet. She is 10 weeks and fasting for Ramadan... I am 23 weeks and my husband and I have spoke about it quite often and we have decided it's best I don't fast when I am carrying out child... We have had a fetal demise this pregnancy already and are blessed to be bringing a little girl into the world still. This year has been incredibly hard because he is fasting and I feel guilty (though I am giving back a lot to make up for my lack of fasting)!!! Your a stronger woman than I am !!!

Answer

Won't be fasting this Ramadan. Ramadan Munarak! ✨

Answer

For any ladies going to say that Muslim women don't need to fast: I'm 100% SURE they know that already!

Answer

U can't fast I had a friend who did and lost her twins it's forbidden for pregnant women and breastfeeding feeding women

Answer

Though it would be hard, I think the food fasting wouldn't be harmful. I would be worried about your lack of water intake though. It's very easy to get dehydrated while pregnant. Could you do a modified  version? Sorry I'm not Muslim so I'm not sure of all the rules but I hope it all goes well for you!

Answer

Salam alaikom I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and unfortunately I am u able to fast I tried to fast prior and with my severe nausea and morning sickness it just will not permit me to also I have been recommended by my physician not to at this point and to be honest I don't think I would even last. May Allah make t easy for all the pregnant mom as out here fasting. :)

Answer

Ask your doctor. I know many ladies who did it and their children are perfectly healthy

Answer

I would talk to your doctor. Because I know some pregnant women who fast and some who do not fast. I know some who will drink juice or a smooth during the normal fasting times so the baby still gets stuff and blood sugar levels stay good. If you feel weak or dizzy or sick at all I wouldn't fast. Like even if your fasting if you start to feel sick or something at all I wouldn't fast.

Answer

Me and my friends fast while we were pregnant, but one of my pregnancies I didn't fast cause I had low-blood pressure. Ramadan kareem sis

Answer

How long do you have to fast for if you don't mind me asking?
