Is it safe for a pregnant woman to fast? Are there any implications on the baby?
Jul 12, 2013

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
It's not recommended that pregnant women fast, according to a study in the US, there has been a correlation between pregnant women who have fasted and adult learning disabilities of the baby. But if a pregnant woman still wants to fast no matter what, she should at least not fast during the first trimester of the pregnancy.
