Ramadan is coming up and I am 18 weeks pregnant,

My Muslim friend in high school told me girls who are on their period didn’t have to while on their period or if you’re pregnant as well. There’s exceptions.

You are not obligated to fast but if you want to, you can always try it and see if you can manage. If you do, make sure to drink lots of water in the evening and to have a good meal and healthy snacks like fruits, nuts etc. xx

I’m catholic and when you are pregnant you don’t have to follow the fasting during lent (and our fasting is just no meat on Fridays). If you want to try and do it, go for it but I would talk to your doctor first.

No you dont fast in Ramadan if your pregnant just like you wouldn't if you were unwell or on your period

Hi sis, you’re not able to fast during Ramadan since you’re pregnant. Please don’t do it. Stay healthy for baby ♥️😘 Ramadan Kareem 🙏

Asalamualaykum, its completely up to you if you want to fast or not during your pregnancy. Allah knows how you feel. Personally I fasted most days but there were days that I felt I couldn't for the baby's sake. You will still have to make up those days you miss.

You can eat at night during Ramadan right?

It can cause issues with your health or the babies. If you wanted to, you could start the fast and closely monitor how you and baby are doing and keep in contact with your dr.

I have been having this debate whether or not i should as well. But i feel like for the health of the baby im not going to fast. Your not always pregnant and you can always make up the days after ❤ allah swt is all merciful and all forgiving and he knows what your intention is - stay safe and ramadan kareem ❤❤❤

You don’t have to fast during Ramadan while pregnant. My moms a religious person and she also confirmed this. Keep that baby growing and healthy 😘 god is great

I don’t know about Ramadan specifically but I know in Judaism pregnant woman are exempt from fasting holidays specifically because the health of the baby & mother take priority. It may be worth looking into if Ramadan has a similar exemption

I’m not Muslim, but fasting is a big part of my religion. When I’m pregnant I choose something else to fast from, something that for me is a sacrifice. It might be social media, or sweets, or tv, or something like that. I don’t know if these kind of “substitutes” are acceptable, but that’s what I do. If I don’t eat while pregnant I get very weak and sick. Think of your baby and maybe ask God what He feels is the right sacrifice.

Salaam! I’m pregnant with my third baby and I’ve never fasted - especially when I was in my second trimester on - but this time in my first trimester I’m doing every few days. Make sure you hydrate really well if you are up for it!
