My wife is pregnant with our double rainbow daughter, she will be at 18 weeks in Ramadan. Where We live fasting means not eating and drinking even water for like 16 hours a day. For 30 consecutive days.. The Dr. said it is fine unless she gets tired, but I am really concerned about this. Any advice? Many people are excused from participating in Ramadan during the actual month. They are just expected to do it at another more convenient time. That includes people who are pregnant or ill. A woman on her period cannot fast because of purity reasons, so she will fast for the days she missed. Every mum who has fasted in Ramadan before HAS to tell me about how the fasted in their pregnancy and how it wasn't so bad as if I'm a bad Muslim for it. It's driving me insane! I told a friend I'm not fasting and my doctor actually told me to skip it this year if I can. Pregnant Muslim women may be religiously exempt from fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan, especially if there is concern for undue hardship or harm to maternal or fetal health. However, several studies demonstrate that most women still choose to fast during pregnancy and avoid discussing fasting with their providers. Last year I was pregnant and could not fast Ramadan due to fear for my unborn child as well as extreme dizziness in my case. Therefore, I did not fast the entire month of Ramadan. This year, I am breastfeeding and was unable to make up the days that I missed last year. When you are pregnant, you may take an exception or rukhsah and not fast. So, if you can, the default is to fast. And if you think it’s hard to fast pregnant in the summer, try fasting in the summer while you’re nursing and with a baby around (which is where you’ll be in Ramadan one year from now!). Ramadan fasting during pregnancy has also been linked to other adverse health outcomes in the long term, although neonatal health is not impacted. Similarly, another review investigated the effects of fasting during Ramadan on foetal health and identified evidence of low birth weight if pregnant mothers fasted during the third trimester and Ramadan fasting (RF) is mandatory for all healthy Muslims in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Although pregnant women are exempt from fasting, many make the decision to practise it. Concerns that fasting during pregnancy harms the fetus remain, as there are no firm recommendations regarding its safety. Objectives Yes, it may be ok to fast during Ramadan while pregnant. Fasting during Ramadan while pregnant is a personal decision that requires careful consideration. Research suggests potential risks, including preterm delivery and low birth weight, which can impact the child’s long-term health. I got pregnant last Ramadan about halfway through Alhamdulillah. I stopped fasting so as to give my baby the best chance at success, ensuring they had enough nutrients during the days, as did I. This is a very personal decision. Posted by u/newmamaa - 197 votes and 44 comments In Islam you are excused from fasting during Ramadan if you are pregnant or nursing. But what about if your ttc? I did some research on Intermittent Fasting and from what I’ve read you shouldn’t do any type of fasting if you’re ttc and that it coulddd impact fertility. While breastfeeding I went with the same intention and I actually managed to fast whole Ramadan but I got my period a couple of weeks into Ramadan, probably triggered by fasting. I’m now 19 weeks pregnant and plan to intend to fast, Inchallah I hope it goes well because I already have so many days to redo. 😭. I am very active, run 30-40 miles a week and strength train about 3x per week. Usually do a double digit run once a week. during Ramadan, I usually workout as well. Last Ramadan I trained for a marathon and did some double digit runs while fasting. Im wondering if anyone has had any experience pregnant + fasting + exercising. Breaking the fast in Ramadan is permissible for four types of people: an ill person who would be harmed by fasting and the traveler who is permitted to shorten the prayer. For them, breaking the fast is preferable, and they should make up [for the number of days they did not fast], but if they fast, it will be valid. As salaaamu alaykum. I found out I’m pregnant Alhamdullilah. I was wondering if I have to fast during Ramadan? It’s so early, the pregnancy, but I’m slightly nervous because first trimester is when the risk of miscarriage is the highest. Problem is you don't know you are pregnant for the first 4 weeks or so. So if a woman has sex say a weekto one day before ramadan and then fasts for ramadan, she wouldn't know she was pregnant till the end of ramadan. I think those are the women being discussed. Each pregnancy is different so it’s always best to ask your doctor what they recommend. Fasting is fine as long as your pregnancy has been safe and healthy so far. At this point in your pregnancy baby is just gaining weight. As long as you fill up with healthy, filling and nutritious foods at suhoor/sehri and eating well at iftar time it’s Yes, all women who are nursing, pregnant, or ill are exempt however, I truly feel okay and would like to try to fast if I feel safe to do so. I just wanted to get an insight on others who have attempted and to know a bit about their experience. Otherwise, I trust myself to know when I should or shouldn’t. If I was you I wouldn't fast at all. None of my pregnant siblings fast at all in Ramadan. The pregnant people who fast in Ramadan are seasoned lifelong fasters and are likely fasting in the middle East or Africa where the fast is quite short and fairly easy. They also have maids and are housewives so are doing minimal exertion.
