Question
Hello,
I am eight months pregnant.
I feel great.
I understand that I should fast as long as I feel well.
I would like to know under what conditions I should not continue fasting?
Answer
Hello,
The conditions that require eating, and especially drinking a lot.
Severe weakness, to the point of lying in bed due to the weakness. Dizziness that does not pass when lying down. Darkness in the eyes. Or the onset of contractions.
