20. Yom Kippur: Fasting When Pregnant or Nursing

The Happy Birthway Podcast

Everyone gets nervous about fasting. Being pregnant, freshly postpartum or nursing gives you an extra reason to be. I take the most common questions from pregnant and nursing moms on my Instagram account and answer them here. You'll get a good sense of when it's safe to fast and when it's not, red flags to look out for during the fast, what you should be asking your doctor, midwife and halachic authority and tips on how to prepare ahead of time.
