Question

I am seven months pregnant. I understand that there is a risk of premature labor if one does not drink. Is it necessary to drink in small amounts or only in emergencies? Thank you

Answer

Shalom and blessings

If the pregnancy is normal and uncomplicated, you can fast as usual. We have written precise guidelines on our website specifically for your case, and it is important that you review them.
