Tisha B'av: Pregnancy

Question

I’m newly pregnant (6 weeks) with a high risk pregnancy. I am also breastfeeding a toddler. My doctor strongly recommends not restricting fluids for the fast but says fasting from food should be fine. What should I do for the upcoming fast?

Answer

Shalom!

In your case, you should eat AND drink as you need to on Tisha B'av.
