Islamic Ruling & Answer

Walekum assalam,

 Feeling weak during pregnancy is normal. Islam is a religion of ease. Allah does not burden anyone beyond her strength. If a pregnant woman cannot pray standing, she may pray sitting, and if that is also difficult, she may pray lying down with gestures. Do not feel guiltyâ€ĻAllah knows your intention and effort.
You may read these duas anytime, even while resting:
