Fasting advice from a specialist to pregnant women – Health News
Expressing that fasting in Ramadan is a subject that confuses pregnant women, Specialist Doctor Türkan Fedakar pointed out that unhealthy and inadequate nutrition of mothers can negatively affect the development of the baby both during and after pregnancy.
Stating that they do not recommend fasting for pregnant women with diabetes and high blood pressure, Fedakar said, «The fact that the mother stays hungry and thirsty for a long time in a healthy pregnancy varies according to the week of pregnancy in the light of scientific publications, but low blood sugar in the mother, low blood pressure as a result of decreased intravascular blood volume, decrease in baby movements. It can cause consequences such as a decrease in the baby’s weight gain, a decrease in the baby’s water and the risk of premature birth. Therefore, even if they do not have any health problems, we find it more appropriate for pregnant women who want to fast to be examined by specialist physicians, to get opinions from their physicians about fasting, and to go to their routine follow-ups regularly.
