I’m not a muslim, so I’m sorry that I’m answering but... please don’t fast, my dear. Your devotion to Allah is beautiful and respectable, but you have this baby within you that really needs the nutrition, and the most major growth of the baby happens in the 3rd trimester. Because baby will be pressing on your stomach, if you try to eat more in one meal (after the sun sets/before the sun rises), you may also throw up. And while fasting, acid reflux may be really bad because of the pregnancy too. I really hope you and your baby will stay strong and healthy during this very important period ❤️
