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

my first pregnancy I fasted till I gave birth 2 days before Aidufitri. u have to see if ur body can take it. It is not compulsory for pregnant mothers. Islam is a very forgiving religion. But I find that being in 3rd trimester, I am more stable to fast so I tried and I have no problems. Probably try half day fast, and see if u can take it.
