I don't think that makes any practical halachic difference. Because it's the most lenient of fasts, anyone who would get a heter this year not to fast, wouldn't have to any year. And those who are healthy fast anyway.

(It's not actually a nidche - nidche means pushed off, and this is early!)

Anyway, the fast has just finished in EY and I'm off to eat.

Yes except I have to take meds with a full meal so the Rav told me to eat it and then keep fasting Confused

Some rabbonim hold that you don't have to fast for 2 YEARS after birth, even if you are not nursing. (Ta'anis Esther only, not other fasts). So go phone your LOR.
