Baby is NOT at any risk as long as it's not all day for multiple days. I fasted at 15/16 wks. I didn't eat until 12 and doctor said baby was perfectly fine and I'm 30 wks as of today.

Ramadan is an Islamic month with has fallen this month this year which mean all Muslims fasts through out.. its not compulsory on a pregnant women but if she feels health enough to then that's great...

I get that it is a religious choice...but that does put your baby and yourself at risk. Pregnancy is not the time to decide to stop eating. It gets it's nutrients from you....

That's great that you are able to do it! Are you a ftm? I should try as well, but I have a 2 1/2 year old that is really active.
It's Ramandan that's why she's fasting. Pregnant women don't have to fast during this time, but it's a choice.
