- W2064673598 abstract "SIR,-Awad H Rashed' and Jane Reeves2 have discussed fasting by pregnant women during Ramadan. I worked in the Republic of Yemen for over 10 years on various projects in both inner city slums and remote rural areas. Pregnant women often fasted during Ramadan even though they did strenuous physical activity, such as collecting water or working in the fields. In my experience lack of knowledge about exemption from fasting during Ramadan was not the most important issue. The main problem was that the women did not want to have to make the time up later, when they would be the only member of the household fasting. They preferred to fast in Ramadan, even though it made them tired and in some cases weak, because they wanted to participate fully in the religious festival. They often expressed their dislike of having to fast when no one else in the family was fasting but were adamant in their belief that they must fast for the full four weeks. I even know of a few non-pregnant women who took the contraceptive pill for the complete month of Ramadan, without the customary seven day break, so that they would not have to stop fasting because they were menstruating. I would be interested to know if explaining the current teaching on fasting in pregnancy to Muslim women has any effect on their practice; I remain unconvinced. I would also be interested to know what are the effects of fasting on pregnant women. In Yemen for many women the diet improved in variety and quality, especially in the poorer households, during Ramadan. The main problems cited by the women were the restriction of fluid intake during the day and, especially in the last week of Ramadan, lack of sleep. I agree with Rashed that more thorough scientific attention should be paid to this subject to ensure that we give Muslim women sound, useful advice in accordance with their religion." @default.
