ok , i am having a bit of a disagreement with my mother about this...

obviously fasting during pregnancy is not an option for me. or not a healthy option atleast (specially in third trimester when u feel so hungry, and specially for this type of ramadan when you have to fast for many hours due to long days/the time of the year)...and since religion does provide this ease, why not make use of it. and she agrees with this...

but here's the disagreement, she says that i MUST make up for the missed fasts by actually fasting later on (after the baby), and I cannot make up for the missed fasts by giving money/feeding poor...
she says the "giving money/feeding poor" option is only for those, who cannot fast later on either... due to some health reasons... if you are all healthy afterwards, then fasting is a must for you, and u cant get out of it by giving money....

and i really was hoping for the money option, as i think its going to be really hard to make up for the whole month worth of fasts afterwards...

any opinons?
ladies who have responded, saying we did not fast during pregnancy , how did you make up for the missed fasts
