Question

Hello and blessings! My wife is in her third month of pregnancy, and from the beginning, if she doesn't eat every few hours (undefined), she experiences hunger attacks that make her unable to function and feels she must eat. She also occasionally has dizziness. What is her status regarding fasting? With thanks and appreciation!

Answer

Hello 

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita

She should not fast, and should eat and drink as usual.
