During the lecture on 2/20, we discussed the practice of Ramadan and the exceptions/exclusions that are permitted. I was curious about whether or not pregnant women also participated in Ramadan. My mother is an OB/GYN, so I thought it would be interesting to research more about the topic. I found a really interesting cross-sectional study conducted in 2008 on 353 females in Pakistan. The study examines the concepts and practices of maternal fasting during pregnancy in Pakistani Muslim women. I found it interesting that most women still fast during their pregnancy.
