Pregnant and fasting during ramadhan

Hi mummies, any of you here have any experience fasting during your third trimester? I will be starting my third trimester (7 months pregnant) when ramadhan comes next month. I’m just worried that it might harm my baby. I will definitely ask my gynae about this when I meet her in 2 weeks time, but I would also like to gain knowledge from other mummies’ experiences. #1stimemom #pregnancy #advicepls

I was 27 weeks pregnant during the start of Ramadhan last year and managed to fast full month. I did consult my gynae and was given the green light but was cautioned if I ever felt giddy I had to be careful. But turned out was doing fine the whole month. Some tips if its of any help would be to drink lots of water during sahur and after break fast. at least 3L min. Also eating kurma during sahur and break fast too. abt 7 kurma each time. Avoid walking alot and relax your body. Also make lots of doa. Ramadhan is nearing so Ramadhan Kareem to all Muslims :)
