Fasting and pregnancy

I am not sure how it will be for me this year in ramadhan, fast or not to fast as I am pregnant. I never did with other pregnancies but I am tempted to give a go. Did you fast during pregnacy? How was it for you?

How far along will you be in Ramadan?
I think this topic has been discussed here.I did not fast when I was expecting,and it was my fist trimester at that time.

I will be 17 weeks on Tuesday, this is my second trimester.

Re: Fasting and pregnancy

you shouldn't fast during your pregnancy- you and the baby need a stable blood sugar and flow of nutrients

Re: Fasting and pregnancy

I'll be well into my 3rd trimester... and not going to be fasting.

Im not eating a lot, but i am finding I cannot lost more than 2 hours without food. Even if I forget to eat, the bubba inside doesnt forget.

Re: Fasting and pregnancy

I have read in many places that the second trimester is probabley the easiest time if one wants to fast, I am not going to force myself of course, I will give it a try and if I find energy levesl are not good and I am not coping then ai will opt out to fast and make up later inshAllah.
Apparently in KSA all pregnant do fast!

Re: Fasting and pregnancy

Im in my first trimester and my doctor told me not to fast.
You should talk to your OB :) My sister fasted when she was in her 3rd trimester since her doctor gave her the heads up.
