Fasting Is it safe for pregnant women?

WORRY about the health of the fetus into consideration expectant mothers while fasting. Actually, if the effects of fasting on the fetus?

The fetus in the womb, generally a concern for mothers who were pregnant for the fourth pillar of Islam undergo. There are fears for their own needs during the fasting of the baby will not be met. As a result, the developing fetus may be distracted. As said Amalia, a housewife who is now three months pregnant with her first child.

"Actually no complaints means baseball, but I was afraid my baby if my health was impaired fasting. Moreover, I was a young pregnant, says people are still very vulnerable. Infants aged that much it is still desperately in need of a lot of nutrition, "said Amalia.

In contrast to the well being pregnant Maryani same age. He chose to believe because fasting is safe and even healthy body. "But, maybe his name is different it seems expectant mothers. Around 11:00 am I've just felt stomach rumbling. Yes his name is two people, but I enjoy it and thank God not perforated his fast, "said the woman who was familiarly called Ani.

So if fasting is safe for pregnant women and does not interfere with the fetus? Indeed, fasting does not affect the health of the body. Because fasting is safe, even though pregnant women are still allowed to practice this one.

"Fasting does not affect the condition of the fetus inside the womb, it is a condition that affected his mother if he was healthy during fasting or not," said Dr Laila Nuranna SpOG of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology RSCM. This is because the baby is in the womb is not affected directly related to the activities undertaken diet of the mother. Baby in the womb gets food intake of the placenta or ariari directly through the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. Previously with first pumped through the heart, then then distributed.

Laila continued, fasting for pregnant women many meanings, not just simply abort its obligations as a Muslim. Moreover, fasting is as a training medium for the fetus during pregnancy. "From the womb we are taught fasting, of course, we hope that one day he became a pious and dutiful son to his parents. Knowingly or not, it had to do, "says Laila.

According to Laila, during pregnancy ranges from four to seven months, fasting will not affect anything. At that time the mother's health condition is usually already in the stage of adjustment. Another situation would be if the mother's condition is still in its early stages of pregnancy is relatively young. At this time usually pregnant women often feel nauseous and sometimes with vomiting continues. If pregnant women feel this situation, Laila was advised to stop the activity before fasting. Importantly, Lila said, pregnant women do not force myself to fast.

In addition to complaints of nausea and vomiting, pregnant women should also decide fast if they get another complaint. Call it have high blood pressure, diabetes, or gastrointestinal disorders. Pregnant women also have to recognize gestures. If you feel very tired, dizziness, tremor, nausea, and fever that is a symptom of reduced blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), then it is okay to break the fast.

Fasting for pregnant women are also justified by dr Noroyono Wibowo who is also from RSCM. "Can pregnant women fasting, let us ask ourselves again. Fasting who sent it? God. Was told to whom? Believers. Yes I have missed it. Future harm God wants His people who submit to His command, "said the man who is often called this Bowo.

Fasting, according Bowo, sematamata just moving mealtime. From day to night. However, during fasting nutritional and caloric intake remains the same as the current made no fasting, that is nutritionally balanced with a composition of 50 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein and 10-20 percent fat. Only time is moved, all intake met at the time of dawn, breaking the fast, and the time between breaking and dawn.

"During pregnancy, calorie intake is needed as a nutrient for growth and development of babies in the womb. So, for pregnant women, should pay more attention to your intake of foods eaten during the meal, iftar and sahur time between breaking up, "he said.

Fasting for pregnant women not only can be done for young pregnant women. Those who were pregnant were able to enjoy the beauty of fasting. However, please note that the gestational age of more than seven months fetus usually require more food intake. This is what causes the mother often looks limp.

The way around including drink, both during sahur and iftar to add fluid in the body.

Regarding fluid intake during fasting, fasting is basically the same for pregnant women with breastfeeding mothers. The mother must be very clever to multiply in the body fluids when iftar or suhoor.
