What should I know about fasting and pregnancy?

If you are pregnant and considering fasting during Ramadan, it’s essential to prioritize both your health and the health of your baby. While some women may feel comfortable fasting, others may experience fatigue or dehydration. The NHS recommends that pregnant women consult their GP before deciding to fast. It's crucial to listen to your body: if you feel unwell or fatigued, it’s perfectly okay to break your fast. Ensure that when you do eat, you consume a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and adequate hydration to support both you and your baby.
