Question

I am ten months postpartum (not breastfeeding) and at the beginning of another pregnancy with nausea. I am taking pills to prevent nausea. Do I need to fast? And if so, am I allowed to take the pills with a little water?

Answer

Shalom and blessings

In our times, pregnant women do not fast in any case, on rabbinic fasts.

Except for Tisha B'Av and Yom Kippur, where one should ask according to the exact situation that will be then.
