Karva Chauth fast will be observed on 1 November. On the day of Karva Chauth, married women observe a fast for the long life of their husbands. This fast can be quite challenging as it involves abstinence from both food and water. However, for pregnant women observing Karva Chauth fast, it is essential to consume fluids to maintain their energy levels.
Apart from staying hydrated, pregnant women also need to take special care of themselves during the Karva Chauth fast. Here are some important things to consider:
Don't leave gaps in your meals: Health experts and nutritionists recommend that pregnant women should not skip meals during fasting. Doctors advise that fasting without eating or drinking anything can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is essential to eat small meals and a balanced diet and stay hydrated.

Break your fast thoughtfully: While breaking the fast, first start by drinking water. To avoid acidity, opt for coconut water or lemon water. You can also eat fruits, like apples, or fiber-rich options. Some women may drink tea or coffee after breaking the fast, but in some cases, these beverages can cause acidity. You can consult a healthcare expert to plan your diet accordingly.
