Pregnant Muslim women have been advised not to fast during Ramadhan by scientists in the US because of the health threat to both the Mother and unborn baby.
Women who are pregnant have an explicit exemption from fasting so long as they make it up in other ways like charity or catching up on lost days later. However, therein lies the difficulty as some women remain reluctant to catch up when others are not fasting so they continue with the fast during Ramadhan. My advice would be to follow the medical advice and put both the mother's and unborn babies health first.
