Water Breaking During the Fast
Question
A woman in her ninth month of pregnancy with heavy discharge (beginning of the water breaking process), but she feels great and wants to continue fasting. Is she required to break the fast, or can she continue fasting?
Answer
The recommendation of our teacher, the Rabbi, in this case, is to start eating and drinking to have strength for childbirth.
However, if she feels strong and wishes to continue fasting, she is permitted to do so.
Good tidings.
