Fasting during pregnancy?

I want to know if it is safe to fast during pregnancy. I just got pregnant for the first time and I am wondering if I can still fast until my delivery.

As a first time pregnant woman, you need to do everything to protect your health and that of the baby. In view of this, fasting during pregnancy should be discouraged.
