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

Hi! I just consulted my gynea regarding fasting while pregnant. I'll be in my 2nd trimester during ramadhan about 15 weeks. Doctor recommend trying on the 1st day. If cannot best not to fast and just ganti puasa. Plus I am also suffering from gastritis and am having low blood. I might be even more weaker than i am now. As those with gastric usually have to eat frequent small meals instead of 1-2 meals a day. And I am still suffering from nausea and vomiting eventhough I'm closer to my 2nd trimester. But all the best to you! always listen to your doctor, they k ow you best. Islam is not cruel. 😊
