There's a vrat coming up that i keep every year and i really dont want to skip it. but now im in my 8th month and not sure if going without food the whole day is okay for the baby. anyone fasted this late? would love to hear how you managed.
Please be careful with this, especially in last trimester. Going long without food can drop your sugar and leave u weak. With my sugar issue my doctor clearly said no fasting. Atleast get her okay and a plan before u decide.
Honestly 8th month I wouldnt, baby is growing fast and needs regular food and water. If u really want to observe it, ask your doctor, sometimes they suggest a partial fast with fruits and milk instead of full empty stomach.
Beta in the 8th month I would gently say dont keep a full fast. Your faith will understand, even our traditions give exemption to expecting mothers. Eat well, stay hydrated, and check once with your doctor before deciding anything.
I understand the wish to keep your fast, the feeling is beautiful. But at 8 months your body and baby need steady nourishment. Please talk to your gynac first, many priests and elders also allow relaxation for pregnant women. Your health is also a form of devotion.
My MIL also wanted me to keep the vrat but my mom and doctor both said skip the strict fasting in the last months. I did a phalahar type one with fruit and milk so everyone was happy. Just clear it with your gynac na.
