Question

Should a woman at the beginning of pregnancy [second week] fast on the postponed Fast of Gedaliah? And is it dangerous?

Answer

Shalom Rav

If the pregnancy is normal and the woman feels well, there is no danger in fasting at this stage, and she should fast.

If there is a problem with the pregnancy or the woman does not feel well, she should not fast.
