Pregnant and fasting during ramadhan

Hi mummies, any of you here have any experience fasting during your third trimester? I will be starting my third trimester (7 months pregnant) when ramadhan comes next month. I’m just worried that it might harm my baby. I will definitely ask my gynae about this when I meet her in 2 weeks time, but I would also like to gain knowledge from other mummies’ experiences. #1stimemom #pregnancy #advicepls

my edd is 12 Apr and i intended to fast as much if possible. you can try to fast sunat first to see if it's ok for you. as mentioned, listen to your body and don't skip pre-dawn meal. if your work is tough, feel giddy or don't think you can manage, best not to fast. i've been fasting mon and thu (sunat) for couple of weeks already and alhamdulillah i can manage and baby is fine 😊 on the contrary baby more on bigger side likely due to GDM so this helps with my diet as well. don't forget to ensure you're well hydrate! good luck mummy
