My saas suggested I keep some vrat for being blessed with a baby and I dont mind doing it for faith. Just curious which fasts do people usually keep for this. Anyone here did something that felt meaningful?
I used to keep Solah Somvar fasts because of family pressure, but to be real, I only conceived when I stopped stressing, ate balanced meals, and tracked my ovulation. My baby is just 2 months old now and I realize a healthy body is what actually worked. Don't stress too much about fasting.
I had a thyroid issue that made conceiving a bit hard, so my doctor strictly told me not to keep long fasts because skipping meals messed up my hormone levels. If you are planning a baby, please get your thyroid and sugar levels checked first. Regular doctor visits are much more helpful than any fast.
I completely understand the emotional struggle and how we want to try everything, from prayers to fasts, when waiting for a baby. But please don't punish your body with hard fasting; your eggs need good nourishment to grow. Be kind to yourself, keep hope in your heart, and let the medical treatments do their magic.
Honestly, when I asked my hospital nutritionist about fasting to conceive, she strictly advised against any heavy fasting. Your body needs proper nutrition, protein, and vitamins to prepare for a baby. It is always best to consult your hospital's specialist doctor before skipping meals.
Look, no fast is going to magically make you pregnant. For pregnancy, your body needs strength and nutrition, not starving. Focus on eating healthy, tracking your periods, and having regular intercourse. Fasts are good for peace of mind, but practical steps are what work.
Please be very gentle with your body while trying to conceive. Severe fasting can sometimes put stress on your body and affect your cycle, which is something we want to avoid, especially if you have had a difficult journey. Please eat well, stay happy, and keep a peaceful mind.
