Navratri is coming up, and I usually observe fasts during this time. I'm pregnant now, and wondering if it's safe for me to fast for a few days. Has anyone here fasted during their pregnancy?
I panicked when I couldn't keep my Karwa Chauth fast during pregnancy. But then my family and doctor reassured me that baby's health comes first. I ate normally and felt so much better, health is wealth!
Please don't fast. Your body is already working double shift to grow a baby and you need all the energy. When you recover later, you will realize how important nutrition was during this time.
Honestly, in this 3rd trimester, I get hungry every two hours. Fasting would make me and my baby very angry! Better to skip fasting this year, God will surely understand.
Better to avoid fasting completely right now! 2 Your baby needs a constant supply of nutrients and staying empty stomach can cause acidity. You can do the puja but skip the fasting part! 🙏
I was thinking about this too because festival season is coming up. Is it okay to do partial fasting like eating only fruits and milk, or is even that not recommended?
With my history, maintaining stable blood sugar was very crucial. Fasting can cause sudden drops or spikes in blood sugar, which is not safe for the baby. Better to avoid it and prioritize your health.
