Are nursing and/or pregnant women exempt from fasting and abstinence during Lent?

[Joe_5859]

I know that if one has a medical condition, they may be exempt from fasting (as mentioned in a previous answer). Is this also true for abstaining from meat? Does nursing and/or pregnancy fall into this category, and would a woman be exempt from fasting, abstinence, or both?

Thanks!
