There is a vrat coming up at our home and everyone in family keeps them. Im 5 months pregnant now and not sure if i should also do it or skip this year. Want to know what others did pls.
My MIL really wanted me to keep the vrat and I felt the pressure. I did a lighter version with fruits and milk after my doctor allowed it. Talk to family and doctor both, they understood when I explained.
I really wanted to keep my fasts too, faith matters a lot to me. But I asked my doctor first and she helped me decide how to do it safely. Your intention is beautiful, just dont put strain on yourself or baby.
Please check with your gynac before fasting. I was anemic so my doctor clearly said no long fasting for me. Every pregnancy is different and skipping food and water can be risky in some cases.
It depends on your health and how far along you are. Some women do short fasts fine, others are advised against it. Best to let your doctor guide you rather than a general rule, and keep yourself hydrated.
With my sugar issues fasting was a strict no, long gaps were dangerous for me. If you dont have such conditions you may manage a light one, but please confirm with your doctor first.
