Will a pregnant woman have a miscarriage if she fasts continuously?

Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text:
"Highly recommended. My friend is currently pregnant for several months. Recently, her husband cheated on her. She is now furious and has been on a hunger strike. I’m very worried about her. I want to ask how long she needs to fast for the fetus to die?"
Note: The line breaks ("") are preserved as they are in the original text.

Doctor's answer:

Fasting for three to five days or more can have a certain impact on the fetus inside the stomach. If you engage in activities that are detrimental to fetal development during pregnancy, it will certainly affect the development of the fetus. First, the fetus may experience oxygen deprivation because you may not be able to provide it with nutrients after fasting. We must pay attention to this situation and immediately go to the hospital to check if the baby has any abnormal conditions. It is important to consider whether to continue the pregnancy.
