Summary
The fatwa notes that no specific narration was found on the answering of a pregnant woman's prayer. However, Allah promises to answer the prayer of those in hardship, and pregnant women commonly face difficulty during pregnancy and childbirth. The fatwa therefore concludes that the prayer of a pregnant woman in hardship is answered. The one praying must still be confident, attentive and humble, as a prayer from a heedless heart is not answered.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka doa wanita hamil yang sedang berada dalam kesukaran ini adalah mustajab
