Fasting for a Woman After Childbirth

Is a woman two and a half weeks after childbirth required to fast on Yom Kippur?

Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chayim 617:4). Other laws for a woman after childbirth: Up to three days after delivery, she is forbidden to fast and must eat and drink as usual. From three days to seven days after delivery, she is not required to fast but should eat and drink in small amounts, and if she feels she can, she is permitted to fast (Shulchan Aruch there). According to the Shulchan Aruch, these days are not counted from moment to moment, but some authorities hold that these are three full days from moment to moment, and she is allowed to eat until the end of this time. The main difference in this matter is if she gave birth on the 3rd of Tishrei, according to the Shulchan Aruch, she is required to fast the entire Yom Kippur, but according to the lenient opinion, she can eat at the beginning of Yom Kippur until the time she gave birth, and in practice, one should be lenient in cases of doubt regarding life and eat in small amounts until the end of seven days from moment to moment after childbirth (Mishnah Berurah there, note 13 and Shaar HaTziyon, note 19). A woman who gave birth via cesarean section should eat according to the instructions of her doctors, even after seven days from the surgery. Similarly, after preeclampsia, she is considered as having a life-threatening illness and should eat as instructed by her doctors (Toras HaYoledes, chapter 51, section 4).
