It would be best to speak specifically with the physician managing your pregnancy, but in general, maintaining activity during pregnancy is healthy for mom and baby. It would be best to speak with your physician about a diet plan as extreme diets, like prolonged fasting are not safe in pregnancy. It would be good to also review with the physician about any risk for gestational diabetes.
