Precautions For Pregnant Women During Karva Chauth Fast
Karva Chauth is a festival celebrated by women in the northern part of India. This is a Hindu festival where the women fast from sunrise to sunset for the long life of their husbands. This tradition is also followed by unmarried women for their fiancé.
Though this is a one-day festival, the preparations start quite early. Karavas or special clay pots are bought and painted beautifully. They are filled with bangles, ribbons, homemade candy, sweets and makeup items.
15 BEST RECIPES FOR KARVA CHAUTH
On the day of the Karva Chauth, the women would visit each other and exchange these pots. Apart from this, importance is given to the fasting. Though the fasting is for your husband, it can be very taxing on your body especially if you are pregnant.
Karva Chauth fast during pregnancy or in fact any kind of fasting is not suggested for pregnant women. This can lead to unnecessary complications and risk for the mother and the child. If fasting during pregnancy is a must, there are a few things that you need to consider. Most of the religions exempt pregnant women from fasting during religious months.
The following are a few things that pregnant women can follow during the Karva Chauth fast.

different
ways
for
your
body
to
cope
with
the
fast.
Eat
before
sunrise

started
off

good

will
help.

done
just

and
