Please dont feel guilty, you are doing what you need to do to protect your baby. You had a psak from your dayan you followed this is what Hashem wants from you

The guilt is your Yetzer Hara

Please don't feel guilty. My rav holds that pregnant women should not fast at all...even in early stages of pregnancy!

Once you were given a psak to eat it's a mitzvah to do so.
I was told not to fast, last night and this morning it was the strangest feeling to be sitting on a low chair eating but that was my Mitzva this year, fasting would have been an aveira.

If you were given a psak to eat, then you are supposed to eat normally. Not minimal eating and still hungry. So please eat. It is YOUR mitzvah of the day, same as my mitzvah is to keep fasting. Daas Torah giving you a peak to eat should alleviate any guilt.

Im also v early pregnancy
I did only liquid and supplements today with big breaks in between and got through bh (in Israel so fast is over now)
Everyone is different if your rov says don’t fast - don’t

That's not necessarily true. It depends on what you were told. I personally was told to drink a lot and eat minimally. So that's what I need to do.

Dayen didn’t tell me to eat a certain amount he told me to break it so I’m confused!

Then presumably you can eat it as much as you need.

Even my Rav who told me to eat minimally told me I could eat more than you're eating. Just you know enough as much as you need. (Some of us tend to overeat the rest of the year LOL.)

And staying hydrated means drinking a lot. Especially if you're active or outside.
