The festival of Karva Chauth is being celebrated on October 20 this year. On this day, married women keep a waterless fast wishing for the long life of their husbands. But fasting can be a bit challenging for pregnant women. Therefore, special precautions should be taken at this time and it is important to consult your doctor.

It is not right to keep a waterless fast during pregnancy

Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal says that staying without food and water for a long time during pregnancy can have a bad effect on the health of both the mother and the child. If a pregnant woman keeps a waterless fast, she may face problems like weakness, acidity, vomiting or dizziness. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid staying without drinking water for the whole day.

Eat fruits and juices

If a pregnant woman wants to fast, she should keep eating fruits, juices and light food. This will keep the body hydrated and she will not feel weak. It is very important to get nutrition for the body during fasting so that both the baby and the mother remain healthy.

What to eat in Sargi?

Sargi is the food that women eat in the morning before sunrise. For pregnant women, Sargi should include such foods that give them energy throughout the day and do not make them feel thirsty again and again. It is better to include protein-rich things like lentils, sprouted grains, green vegetables, fruits, quinoa, dry fruits, etc. These things will keep the stomach full for a long time and will nourish the body.

Take rest during the fast

Rest is very important during pregnancy, especially when you are fasting. Staying hungry can cause weakness in the body, so rest as much as possible. Apart from this, avoid talking too much or moving around too much. Too much fatigue can have a negative impact on health.

Keep these things in mind while breaking the fast

While breaking the fast, one should not give too much food to the body at once. First drink water and then take fresh fruit juice. Do not break the fast with tea or coffee, as it can cause acidity. Eat light and nutritious food slowly so that the body gets time to digest the food comfortably.

Doctor's advice is necessary

If you are thinking of keeping the fast of Karva Chauth during pregnancy, then first of all consult your doctor. Every woman's physical condition is different, and the right decision can be taken only with the advice of the doctor.
