Reply To: Should pregnant women fast on Yom Kippur?

If a woman gives birth on Yom Kippur- there is no question, she must break her fast.
If a woman is pregnant, we know that eating on Y”K is a Chiyuv Karrais so a woman should try her upmost to fast on Y”K. If she cant- if it is not Pikuach Nefesh one can eat or drink less then the size of a cheekful (1 oz. – 1.5 oz., around the size of a shot glass) for eating the size of a fig I believe. Eating and drinking in these cases should only be done every 9-10 minutes so it is not considered 1 meal. If it is Pikuach Nefesh then there is no question!
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING REAGARDING EATING ON Y”K- CONSULT A RAV!
