Fasting at the Beginning of Pregnancy
Question
Shalom! I am in my seventh week of pregnancy. Usually, it’s very difficult for me to fast. How will I know if I should fast? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom!
In such a situation, one should begin to fast, and see if during the fast there is any special weakness, strong dizziness, dehydration, or if you see black. In cases such as these, one should break the fast.
