Is intermittent fasting safe during pregnancy ?

Question

pregnancy ?" /> 
Hii I’ve been intermittent fasting for 2 years now I eat whatever/as much as I want (which ends up not being all too much) twice a day at 10am and 6pm (finish by 7pm), I only get hungry and these two times but realized I likely need to be eating more frequently since pregnant, but I have no idea and would love if I could continue !

Answer

Be ready for some not so helpful comments here. :) I posted the same a few weeks ago and oy vey. 🤦🏼‍♀️ As long as you are paying attention to your body and getting the correct nutrition, there isn’t enough info out there yet to say either way. I’m almost 16w and have been working my way back to IF after a really awful first trimester. Stay hydrated and be sure you’re getting enough calories and protein for yourself and baby.

Answer

I was doing intermittent fasting and Leto before pregnancy and at the beginning. I thought that I would do it throughout, but then I started having horrible nausea and couldn’t do it anymore. Eating something small throughout the day usually helps nausea. How far along are you? 
Currently, I’m 10+5 and I know that intermittent fasting is not an option for me during pregnancy, but I’m doing modified keto diet. I do add fruit with protein (apples+ peanut butter, for example)

Answer

I’m sure it’s not a dive deal health wise, but you might experience nausea and if you do, eating something constantly and keeping food in your stomach is the only way to help it. Be prepared to leave the fasting behind, if need be!

Answer

I think you should be fine but although when you do eat if you don't eat that much just try to add a couple fruits or vegetables into it

Answer

Talk with your doctor. I’m 12 weeks pregnant and I know I won’t be able to do it. I have to eat many small snacks during the day or I’m not feeling great...

Answer

As long as you are eating healthy you should be fine. Not every women feels the need to snack or eat all day. With my first And this one I typically eat until 3pm then I’m not hungry until 8 the next morning. Keep hydrated and make sure you are getting your nutrients and you will be fine.
