Fasting during pregnancy

Please let me know if its okay to keep a fast during pregnancy. In our culture there are many festivals and poojas during which we ladies keep a fast. Last sunday I kept a fast but my husband was not happy about it. Ironically, the fast was for his well-being 
In pregnancy a woman eats not just for herself but for her baby. With keeping a fast you are in some way harming your baby. Thats not a good thing to do. I don't think so that any fasting can be more important for you than your loving baby. Please do not do this again during pregnancy.
I think your husband was right actually he should have stopped you from doing so.
Hi shikhasharma,
I agree with gkmittal. How can you fast when you already have complications and are carrying twins? You should be extra careful.
