We do not consider it medically appropriate for pregnant women who have developed kidney disease, such as hypertension or for various reasons, to fast. Apart from this, if there is no apparent risk factor, there are various studies on it. In some of these studies, it is stated that there is no risk associated with fasting for the mother. However, in some studies, relatively low birth weight babies were also seen after fasting. For this reason, we individualize the risk by asking our questions about each pregnancy, that each pregnancy is a free dynamic process, that one pregnancy will not be similar to the other, and if the mother has had a previous pregnancy at the same time. As a result, we decide together whether it is appropriate for the expectant mother to fast.”
