Question
My wife is in the late seventh month of pregnancy. She has a slight tendency to dehydration during pregnancy (we have been to the hospital to receive fluids). She is very concerned about the fast. We are currently in Switzerland, and this adds to her stress because she is not at home... Should she fast?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita
do not fast, and only at night can she try to fast.
