Fasting during pregnancy ? Watch this video till end
As a gynaecologist, here's what I tell my patients:
âś… Talk to your doctor first, especially if you have high BP, diabetes, anaemia or a high-risk pregnancy
âś… Waterless (nirjala) fasting can be risky in pregnancy: dehydration, dizziness and low blood sugar
âś… Include fruits, milk, coconut water and sargi/pre-fast meals
âś… If you feel dizzy, weak, have abdominal pain or notice reduced baby movements, break the fast immediately
Faith matters, but your health and your baby's health matter more. đź’› You can still honour your vow in a safe way, such as a fruit-based fast with water.
