I also thank You for Your mercy, that not only I, according to Your will, came from Your wonderful creation and replenish the number of the elect, but that You honored me to bless in marriage and sent me the fruit of the womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Lord and Father of spirit and body!

For I know, O God, that it is not in the power and power of man to choose his own path; we are too weak and prone to fall to bypass all those networks that the evil spirit sets up for us at Your will, and avoid those misfortunes into which our frivolity plunges us. Your wisdom is limitless. Whom do you wish. Through Your angel, You will save us unharmed from every misfortune. Therefore, I, merciful Father, commit myself in my sorrow into Your hands and pray that You look at me with the eye of mercy and save me from all suffering. Send me and my dear husband joy, O God, Lord of all joy! So that we, at the sight of Your blessing, worship You with all our heart and serve with a joyful spirit. I do not want to be removed from what You imposed on our entire race, commanding to give birth to children in illnesses. But I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send a prosperous outcome. And if You hear this prayer of ours and send us a healthy and good child, then we swear to bring him back to You and consecrate him to You, so that You remain for us and our seed a merciful God and Father, as we swear to always be Your faithful servants together with our child.

To You, the All-Merciful Father, we who live resort, because it was You who created the human race, having created our body with the wisdom deep from the earth and breathing into us the soul from Your Spirit.

So grant your help to me and help me successfully bear my long-awaited child, and then it will be safely resolved from the burden.

“Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow, I, the Servant of God (proper name) with a heartfelt request. Send me a safe discharge from the burden and send me a healthy child. Just do not transfer my sins to him, let me repent of them myself before the Lord God. Do not punish my baby for my sinful life, because all the sins were committed by me out of ignorance. Amen".

If you feel someone's unkind look, then you need to step aside as soon as possible and whisper these words:

“Lord God, I ask You and I repent of all my sins that were previously committed. I pray and honestly try to live endlessly. Do not allow someone to jinx my pregnancy and harm my child. Your will and your prohibition. Amen".

Grant her to know happy motherhood and raise her child in the fear of God, glorifying the holy name of our Lord.

Pregnancy and the birth of a child are not only the most significant and joyful days in the life of every family, but it is also a great mystery of “the entry of the soul into this world”, and also, this is the time when God is closest to young parents.

PREGNANCY IS SPRING IN THE LIFE OF EVERY FAMILY

Pregnancy is a great miracle of change, I would compare it with spring, when everything changes right before our eyes, and every new day brings new colors and light of life to this world. During pregnancy, everything changes for the expectant mother - the body, tastes, character change, spiritual needs also change.

The little "angel" is already living its life in the mother's tummy, and it was at this time that the future baby is firmly connected - with the body with the mother, and with the soul with God. This higher connection through the fetus is spiritually visible: both by others from the side, and by the mother herself. That is why many, even women who are far from religion, come to the temple during pregnancy, realizing the significance of spiritual life and the fact that everything in this world depends on the Will and Grace of God. It also happens that it is during pregnancy that the expectant mother says the first prayer in her life.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PRAYERS DURING PREGNANCY

Prayer is communication with God. During prayer, we are in spiritual contact with the Creator, and He always hears us. A lot depends on this “communication”, including how the pregnancy and the future life of the child will go. We must not forget that miracles are performed through many prayers.

Praying for a successful pregnancy and successful childbirth is a must, and it is better to do it more often. You can pray at home and in the temple, but it is especially good if future parents order a prayer service for a successful pregnancy and successful birth.

In this case, in addition to the power of home prayer, the powerful power of the Holy Church is also connected.

You can order a prayer service in a temple or in a church shop, but you can make it easier - order prayers for pregnancy and safe childbirth on the Internet, through a special online service. By the way, since recently, you can also put candles for health there.

PREPARATION FOR BIRTH

The birth of a child is the main event in the life of every seven. During all nine months of pregnancy, the child and mother are a single organism, but after childbirth, the baby becomes a completely independent member of the family and society. How the birth will go depends largely on the actions of the future parents.

Before this important event, parents are actively preparing: they come for a consultation with doctors, buy clothes for the baby and hygiene products, and clean the house. This is good, but it's still not enough. It is necessary to prepare for childbirth and spiritually - prayers and prayers for a safe birth will help you with the power of God's grace.

I also read this prayer, but I found it by accident, before giving birth. And from the first day of conception until the birth itself, she read another prayer, also very strong, thanks to which she endured and gave birth normally.

It would be very correct to order a prayer service for a safe birth, as well as to touch the holy icons. A prayer service can be ordered both one-time and for a certain period, and in this case, at each service, according to the schedule of services, prayers will be read for the young mother

Before giving birth (I’m in a week) after the end of the service (it’s good that it was a Sunday liturgy before her to confess and take communion on it - this is the best blessing from the Lord), and then order a prayer service (it’s like a short service, a prayer for you, your family with the priest as required) of the Fedorov Mother of God (assistant in childbirth) - or say so to the priest for a successful delivery. After him, the priest will bless you and go give birth with God.

All these preparations will undoubtedly not go unnoticed by God, and you and your entire family will receive the Highest blessing, including for a successful birth.

The reservation about pregnancy is not without reason, such prayers are recommended for reading only to women in position. It is not recommended for young ladies who have not yet known this joy to say such prayers, since there is a separate prayer for pregnancy and conception.

When offering a petition to heaven for a future child, one should follow the instructions:

What are strong prayers for pregnant women?

In order to save the child and give him a calm and happy life, women often resort to unknown prayers, turning to unfamiliar - sometimes even non-existent - Saints. Therefore, it is important to know which prayers are real, to whom one should appeal for help and what to say.

Pray for a successful pregnancy:

  • Holy Mother of God;
  • Matrona of Moscow;
  • Jesus Christ;
  • Nicholas the Wonderworker;
  • Fedorovskaya Mother of God.

If possible, expectant mothers should attend church, clean themselves, confess. Visiting temples during pregnancy and before prayers helps to tune in the right way, to get rid of painful thoughts and doubts. It is also not forbidden, and even recommended, to drink holy water and wash yourself with it.

How to turn to the Mother of God?

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos during pregnancy is read on the icon depicting the Mother of God. To concentrate and enhance the message, you can light church candles. You can say a prayer service in a church, temple, even at home if you have the necessary icon. Before praying, tune in to the proper topic, imagine an easy birth, a healthy child and your joy. With humility, appeal to the Mother of God for protection and health for the child:

« Accept, O All-Blessed and Almighty Lady Mistress Virgin Mary, these prayers, with tears now brought to Thee from us, Thy unworthy servants, to Thy whole-bearing image, the singing of those who send with tenderness, as if You yourself are here and listen to our prayer. By any request, do fulfillment, ease sorrows, grant health to the weak, heal the weak and sick, drive away demons from demons, deliver the offended from insults, cleanse lepers and have mercy on small children; moreover, to the Lady Mistress of the Mother of God, and free from bonds and dungeons and heal all kinds of passions: all the essence is possible through Your intercession to Your Son, Christ our God. Oh, Mother of God, Mother of God! Do not stop praying for us unworthy Thy servants, glorifying Thee and honoring Thee, and worshiping Thy Most Pure Image with tenderness, and having irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in Thee, the Most Glorious and Immaculate Ever-Virgin, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen ».

“To whom I will call, Lady, to whom I will resort in my sorrow; to whom I will bring my tears and sighs, if not to You, the Queen of Heaven and earth: who will uproot me from the mire of sins and iniquities, if not You, O Mother of the Belly, Intercessor and Refuge of the human race. Hear my groaning, console me and have mercy in my sorrow, protect me in troubles and misfortunes, deliver me from bitterness and sorrows and all kinds of ailments and diseases, from enemies visible and invisible, pacify the enmity of those who slander me, but I will be delivered from evil-doers; so free me from your own flesh of vile customs. Cover me under the canopy of Your mercy, may I find peace and joy and cleansing from sins. I entrust myself to your motherly intercession; wake me Mother and hope, cover and help and intercession, joy and consolation and an ambulance in everything Helper. Oh wonderful mistress! Everyone who flows to You, without Your almighty help, does not leave: for this sake, and I am unworthy, I resort to You, so that I will be delivered from sudden and fierce death, gnashing of teeth and eternal torment. I will receive the Kingdom of Heaven, and I will say to You in the tenderness of my heart: Rejoice, Mother of God, Our zealous Intercessor and Intercessor, forever and ever. Amen".

Amen".
