AL-KAFI #434 : HUKUM PEREMPUAN HAMIL BERPUASA
Is a pregnant woman obliged to fast in Ramadan, or does she only have to make up the missed days?
Short answer
A pregnant woman is still obliged to fast, as she falls among those who meet the conditions for fasting.

Summary
A pregnant woman is still obliged to fast, as she falls among those who meet the conditions for fasting. The Sharia allows her to break her fast if she fears harm. If the fear is for herself alone, or for both herself and her child, she must make up the missed fasts later. If the fear is for her child alone, she must make up the fasts and also pay one mud of fidyah for each day missed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, wanita yang hamil juga diwajibkan berpuasa. Namun syarak memberi keringinan untuknya berbuka jika terdapat perkara-perkara yang disebutkan tadi.
