“Women that suffer from consistent vomiting and the loss of fluids throughout the early months of pregnancy are advised not to rapid as this could bring about major dehydration,” said Mr. Ghazi Daradkeh, Nourishment Supervisor at Hamad Medical Corporation.

“But a pregnant woman’s physique acclimatizes to the unique experience of fasting, so if her physique includes a great sufficient supply of electricity after that fasting does not negatively affect her,” explained Mr. Daradkeh.
