Question

I wanted to ask: a woman who was in danger to her life, meaning she lost a lot of blood (she was pregnant and had a miscarriage), does she need to recite the Birkat HaGomel blessing?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

She needs to recite the Birkat HaGomel blessing. 

There are those who have the custom to recite it in the synagogue, of course with modesty, from the women’s section and the like. 

And there are those who have the custom that she recites the blessing specifically in the presence of ten family members.
