For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. A mapelet, a woman who went through an abortion (lo alenu, may we not see tragedy) after 40 days of being pregnant (from the time of conception) does not have to fast the fast of Tisha B'Av if Tisha B'Av falls during the first 30 days after she went through an abortion.
2. A pregnant woman and those women who breast feed, even though they are exempt from all fast (except Yom Kippur), must fast on the day of Tisha B'Av. However, like our year when Tisha B'Av falls on Shabbat and we postpone it to Yom Rishon (Sunday), Rav Ovadia Yosef explains that a pregnant woman and one who is breastfeeding are both exempt from fasting. Because there is a doubt through Rabbinical teachings whether these women should fast, these women should still avoid separating themselves completely from the entire congregation and fast until midday Tisha B'Av (meaning until Sunday afternoon this year, 1:05pm EST). This only stands where the women feel okay and are not suffering from weakness and/or dehydration, because frankly they may eat during this day.
