Question
My wife is 20 years old, in her first pregnancy at 7 and a half weeks. In the last two weeks, she has been bleeding and in pain. A check-up with a gynecologist has not yet clarified whether the pregnancy is holding or if it's a miscarriage. It should be noted that she feels very weak, without the strength to do more than the basic things. She often feels hungry, much more than the usual daily norm. The question is whether she should fast, and if so, until when?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
she should not fast, and should eat and drink as usual.
