Grape Juice for a Pregnant Woman During the Nine Days

Question

Is it permitted for a pregnant woman to drink grape juice during the Nine Days for the purpose of strengthening and preparing the body for childbirth (not for pleasure)? I would appreciate receiving the answer also in the body of the email since NetFree blocks me from the Women and Family section, thank you in advance!

Answer

Shalom!
In any case where there is a need to drink grape juice or wine for health, it is permitted.
