Seek your doctor’s permission
If you are way too keen on keeping the fast you must consult your doctor for the same. It goes without saying that your doctor knows the best about your and your baby’s condition. Also, it depends on which trimester you are in and whether your body is strong enough to sail through the whole day of Karwa Chauth fasting.
Listen to your baby and body
Goes without saying that you know your body the best. whether you are able to take more liquid, fruits, able to eat nuts etc. Every pregnancy and every mother is unique. So, you are the best judge. Listen to your own self and then decide.
Hydrate Hydrate
If you plan to fast the whole day on Karwa Chauth, do not forget to hydrate yourself. Keep taking fluids such as milk, fruit juice, lemon water, fruits that have a high content of water in them. Do not let yourself be dehydrated as it might lead to complications.
Eat your cravings before sunrise
“Sargi” as it is called. The concept of eating before the sunrise before the fast starts. Eat good food before you lead to a no food day. Drink coconut water, eat fruits, eat wholesome food which will keep you full throughout the day.
Distraction is the key
Totally it is, you might end up craving for all the luxury food on this day itself. Most of the time it is the thought of food that leads to the craving that distracts you. Binge-watch your favourite show, sleep the whole day, go out and shop, watch a nice movie or just spend time with your pals. Just relax and keep yourself calm.
Dress Up and let yourself get pampered
The main attraction of Karwa Chauth is dressing up. So wear your best attire. Choose the most comfortable yet chic outfit for the day. Mix and match your maternity maxi dresses with ethnic jewellery and let your husband pamper you.
It is very important for all moms to be understood that you must not follow the religious concept of fasting blindly or emotionally rather think about your own body and baby. Listen to what your doctor has to say this Karwa Chauth 2021. If your health and doctor permits you can go for it and if not you can still dress up and look beautiful. Happy Karwa Chauth!
