Usually pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding are not expected to take part in fasting for religious purposes. We would recommend that you don't fast during pregnancy for the health of you and your baby. However, it is a personal decision and if you do decide to fast, it’s a good idea to speak to your midwife or doctor to get their advice.
Here, our midwife, Amina, talks to Breastfeeding Peer Supporter and Co-Director for Leicester Mammas, Faranaaz. Leicester Mammas is commissioned by Leicester NHS Trust to deliver breastfeeding support across the city.
