Brief Answer:
You need to take ORS.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I respect your religious views. You might appreciate that till now your baby has practically no reserves and is deriving all the nutrition from you. Surely you would not want this resourceless unborn baby to fast. Especially when your body is already in a salt and water depleted state due to the diarrhoea. I would strongly insist you to take ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the fluid and salt loss. If you can, my suggestion would be not to fast further.
