Question
Hello and blessings! I am in the ninth month, 36+4 weeks. I was hospitalized yesterday until today because they discovered I have a hematoma [and placental abruption] in my abdomen. I was discharged and continue monitoring at home, ensuring the hematoma does not grow. The doctor said not to fast on Yom Kippur as it is dangerous for the baby and me due to the bleeding in the abdomen. The question is, what should be done now? [He said that not eating and drinking is dangerous for the uterus] I would appreciate an answer and explanation.
Answer
Hello
You should drink one and a half liters during the fast in measured amounts.
This means drinking 40 cc each time with intervals of 9 minutes.
