Ramadhan

MCPD: 36 weeks 4 days

It's Ramadhan 5th. I've been fasting for 5 days, alhamdulillah. After surveying, thinking through and getting the doctor's approval, finally I took the decision to fast. Some people have different opinion about fasting pregnant women. Some say I shouldn't be fasting. I really want to fast because I don't want to miss the month and secondly because I'd rather not to fast at another time. I understand in Islam, pregnant woman doesn't need to fast. Islam doesn't impose such a hardship on those with health constraints. But this doesn't mean that a pregnant woman cannot fast. It depends on the condition of each person provided she has permission and supervision from the doctor. Fasting in Islam helps to address dietary abuse problems. It also helps to release some of the toxic built up to the extra body fat that a woman carries. Thus fasting detoxifies the body and this goes to pregnant woman as well. I just hope for the best and let Allah show the way. I know my body, so I know when to stop when things seem to go wrong. But it's been good so far. So I would just continue my puasa. LO is doing great. He's active as usual, regardless the less spacious room inside there. I hope puasa won't do any harm to him.
