The answer

To determine the extent of harm that fasting may cause a pregnant woman, one should consult a trustworthy doctor or rely on her experience from a previous pregnancy. If the doctor confirms the presence of harm, or if the pregnant woman fears harm to herself, she is permitted to break her fast and is only required to make up the days later. However, if the fear is only for the fetus, then she must make up the fasts and feed one poor person for each day.
