Can i stay 14 hrs without eating during pregnancy?

Question

We have a fast coming up in our ghar and everyone does it, but im 5 months pregnant this time. 14 hrs feels bohot long na without food or water. Has anyone kept such a long fast safely during pregnancy?

Tanvi Karve · Answer

Please don't do this! Going long hours without food can cause massive sugar crashes and then spikes when you eat. I had to monitor my sugar closely, and small frequent meals are the only safe way.

My mother-in-law always insisted on eating every two hours to keep energy up. Our doctor also said fasting for 14 hours is not safe for the baby, so please avoid it.

My doctor strictly advised against fasting or long gaps during pregnancy. She explained that it can lead to low blood sugar and dehydration, which isn't safe for fetal development.

Oh dear, 14 hours is way too long to go without food. Your baby needs constant nutrition, and you will feel extremely weak and dizzy if you don't eat.

Are nahi yaar, 14 hours bhuke rehna bilkul thik nahi hai pregnancy me. Thoda thoda karke kuch na kuch khao, nahi toh acidity aur chakkar aane lagenge, haina?
