Blessing on Drinking for Health
Question
A pregnant woman suffering from premature contractions, and the doctor instructed her to drink a lot, does she need to recite a blessing over the drinking?
Answer
If she is thirsty at the time of drinking, she should recite a blessing. If she drinks a sweetened beverage, she blesses even if she is not thirsty. However, if she drinks water and is not thirsty, she does not recite a blessing.
