Prayer for pregnancy helps a woman to better understand that a new life is a gift from God, and treat it accordingly. Expectant mothers turn to God and the saints with requests for the preservation of pregnancy, gestation, safe childbirth and the health of the baby.

Mother's prayers not only protect the child, but also have a pacifying effect on the pregnant woman. Spiritual practices also help to establish emotional contact with the baby. Any appeal to the Almighty, even spoken to oneself, has a beneficial effect on the child. After all, everything that the expectant mother thinks about is heard by the child living inside.

What are the prayers for pregnancy?

Pregnant women and their loved ones pray for a safe pregnancy and easy childbirth. It is best to start praying at the time of planning and continue throughout the gestation period.

Prayer sanctifies the whole life of the future mother and baby in the womb. An appeal to the Almighty, the Mother of God, the saints, the Guardian Angel will help with any difficulties, calm the soul, which is so necessary for the expectant mother.

Women ask God and saints:

about conception;
about easy pregnancy;
about the preservation of the child in the womb;
about successful bearing;
to protect against the evil eye during pregnancy;
from miscarriage, premature birth;
about the birth of a healthy child;
for easy delivery.

Prayer for pregnancy is also addressed in the case when a woman is in despair and is about to have an abortion. The prayers of loved ones will help make her save a new life.

Spiritual preparation of a pregnant woman

The more often a pregnant woman will join the shrines, the better. It is necessary to use holy water with a particle of prosphora, read the Holy Scriptures and spiritual literature. It will be helpful to stop watching television, or at least the news. Any negative information that enters a person has a detrimental effect on him. For those who are not idle, this is doubly dangerous, since this effect also extends to the child.

The future mother, relying on the Orthodox faith, modern knowledge and maternal instinct, with the help of God, will surely give her child health and happiness.

When going to the hospital, in addition to the necessary things, you need to put a prayer book for reading morning and evening prayers. It is necessary to take books with the text of the akathist to the Theotokos or to the saint. Consecrated oil and holy water can be packaged in vials. Of the icons, as a rule, pregnant women prefer the image of the Mother of God “Feodorovskaya” or “Helper in childbirth”, it is also necessary to have an icon of the Savior. If there is a beloved saint, then you need to take his image in order to pray to him.

Before going to the hospital, you need to visit the temple, ask the priest to read special prayers for pregnant women.

There is no special prayer rule for pregnant women. If there is no opportunity or strength to read daily prayers, you can replace them with short prayers according to your strength. If the neighbors in the ward are opponents of faith, it is better to pray silently.

Who Should Pray?

Future mothers know that the life of a child depends on the Almighty and partly on it, since the mother's body not only provides development, but also is the external environment. Any state of the mother, both positive and negative, affects the fetus.

They pray for the preservation and bearing, for the birth of a healthy child to the Lord God, the Most Holy Theotokos, Mother Matrona of Moscow, Nikolai Ugodnik, the Guardian Angel.

In case of problems with conception, from miscarriage and premature birth, prayers must be strengthened with the help of church requirements. About the pregnant woman, notes are submitted for the Liturgy, they are ordered.

“To you, Mother of God, we praise; We confess thee, Mary, the Virgin Mary; Thee, the eternal Father, the Daughter, the whole earth magnifies. All the Angels and Archangels and all the Beginnings humbly serve you; All the Powers, Thrones, Dominations and all the exceeding Powers of heaven obey you. Cherubim and Seraphim rejoicingly stand before you and cry out with an unceasing voice: Holy Mother of God Mother, heaven and earth are full of the majesty of the glory of the fruit of your womb.

The Mother praises the glorious apostolic face of her Creator to you; Thee are many martyrs, the Mother of God magnifies; The glorious host of confessors of God the Word calls the temple to you; The dominating half of virginity preach an image to you; All heavenly armies praise the Queen of Heaven to you. The Holy Church glorifies you throughout the universe, honoring the Mother of God; He exalts thee the true King of heaven, the Maiden. You are the Mistress of the Angel, You are the door of Paradise, You are the ladder of the Kingdom of Heaven, You are the King's chamber of glory, You are the ark of piety and grace, You are the abyss of bounty, You are the refuge of sinners.

You are the Mother of the Savior, You are the liberation for the sake of a captive person, you perceived God in the womb. You have trampled on the enemy; You opened the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven to the faithful. You stand at the right hand of God; You pray to God for us, Virgin Mary, who will judge the living and the dead. We ask you, Intercessor before Your Son and God, Who redeem us with Your blood, so that we receive retribution in eternal glory. Save Thy people, Mother of God, and bless Thy inheritance, as if we were partakers of Thy inheritance; forbid and keep us even to the age.

Every day, O Most Holy One, we wish to praise and please Thee with our hearts and lips. Grant, Most Merciful Mother, now and always from sin, save us; have mercy on us, Intercessor, have mercy on us. Be Thy mercy on us, as if we trust in Thee forever. Amen".

It is necessary to accept what is happening with humility and gratitude. They pray to the Lord and the holy Matrona to bless the pregnancy and the upcoming birth.

Nicholas the Wonderworker

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is prayed for any vital need. They read prayers and an akathist to the saint before the upcoming caesarean section.

Prayer text:

“O great intercessor, the bishop of God, blessed Nicholas, who shines miracles like a sunflower, who calls on you as a quick hearer, you always anticipate and save, and deliver, and take away all kinds of troubles, miracles and gifts of grace from God given to you! Hear me unworthy, calling you with faith and bringing prayer to you singing; I offer you an intercessor for supplication to Christ. O notorious in miracles, high saint! as if you have boldness, soon stand before the Lord, and reverence your hands in prayer to Him, stretch out for me a sinner, and from Him give bounties of goodness, and accept me as your intercession, and deliver me from all troubles and evils, from the invasion of enemies visible and invisible freeing, and destroying all those slanders and malice, and reflecting those who fight me in my whole life; ask for forgiveness by my sin, and present me to Christ and save the Kingdom of Heaven for the multitude of that philanthropy, He deserves all glory, honor and worship, with His Father without beginning, and with the Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and forever and forever centuries. Amen".

Having prayed and trusting in everything in the Will of God, one must perceive everything resignedly, since God does not have a prayer unheeded.

On the eve of the operation, you need to pray for all the doctors and medical staff who will take part in the birth. May the Lord bless their hands and help in the birth of a healthy baby. If it becomes necessary to remove the cross before the operation, you can wind it around your arm or hair.

Before the introduction of anesthesia, short prayers are read: “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner! Lord, help!”, “St. Nicholas, pray to God for us!”.

In Orthodoxy, motherhood is a voluntary martyrdom and the holy destiny of a woman, which brings her closer to the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the cross that a woman bears for the benefit of a new life. The Lord is merciful to such a feat and will surely give mothers strength and opportunities for raising offspring.

The story of one of our readers Alina R.:

Money has always been my main concern. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the matter is in yourself, all failures are only a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye, or some other evil force.

But who will help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that the whole life is going downhill and passing by you. It is difficult to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight for the better. I could not even imagine that it is possible to earn so much money that some kind of trinket at first glance could have such an impact.

It all started when I ordered a personal...

Nature has placed the greatest responsibility on a woman - the responsibility for bearing and giving birth to a child. But, unfortunately, not every representative of the weaker sex succeeds in experiencing the happiness of motherhood, for one reason or another. Forced childlessness sometimes cannot be cured even by the most professional doctors. In such desperate situations, Orthodox prayer helps childless couples to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child - it can work a real miracle even when there is no hope for it at all.

The power of Orthodox prayer for pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child

Of course, in our age of high technology, quite a few people do not believe in the power of prayers, they show a skeptical attitude towards them. However, praying to get pregnant and have a healthy baby really does work. Proof of this is the example of many married couples who, thanks to her, managed to become happy parents.

A truly believing person will never begin to think about whether turning to the saints will help in his trouble. He just prays and hopes for a positive result, and God and God's holy helpers heed his requests. Daily appeal to higher powers has helped many families to give birth to a small heir or heiress. Each such case is a real miracle bestowed by the Lord.

Any Orthodox prayer is called upon to express the humility and obedience of the believer before God. The first thing a woman who wants to get pregnant, carry and give birth to a healthy baby with the help of prayer, must do is to be ready to accept God's will.

Sometimes it may happen that prayer to the saints does not bring the desired result. This fact does not mean that a married couple should give up all hopes of having a child. Often in this way, higher powers give a signal that spouses need to adopt a child from an orphanage and give the little person the opportunity to grow up in a loving family. As a rule, it is after the adoption of a baby that many families have their own children.

The most effective prayers to help get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby

How to pray for pregnancy and childbirth

In order for the prayer for pregnancy to have the best effect, it is recommended that a number of specific conditions be met:

the words of the prayer petition must be sincere. You can’t keep negativity in your soul, think about a child with anger. The intentions of the praying woman must be pure and kind;
before turning to higher powers with a request to help with the conception and birth of a baby, it is advisable for a woman to go to church, confess and take communion. Her husband can do the same;

prayers to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child should be said in cycles. One cycle should last at least 3 weeks, and preparation in the form of a week-long fast and confession is obligatory before it. Also, at least once before the start of the cycle, it is necessary to pray within the walls of the temple in front of the image of the saint to whom the future prayer will be directed;
Asking the Creator and His saints for pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child is allowed not only with the use of the above-mentioned Orthodox prayers. A prayer can be composed in your own words. The main thing in this matter is a sincere, deep faith in the help of higher powers, the regularity of utterance and life without sin, because the birth of children has long been considered God's blessing, and the absence of children is a punishment for mistakes and sins.

Pediatricians dream of being out of work so that the kids do not get sick, which is, of course, unrealistic, but you can make the children get sick less - a healthy pregnancy of mommy plays a significant role in this. It is already known for sure that the embryo is most susceptible to various kinds of harmful effects in the first trimester, when its organs and systems are laid and formed. the expectant mother in this period needs to perfectly understand all the responsibility that is assigned to her at this time.

By the way, the responsibility lies with the spouse, family members, if they all want a healthy baby. It's time to finally quit smoking and drinking, to change to a healthy diet and lifestyle. A woman should register as early as possible in the antenatal clinic, since most problems and pathologies are formed at this time.

Important milestones for a healthy pregnancy.
It is important for a future mother to take care of herself so that her health is in the best possible condition. In a healthy female body, pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon, it is not a disease, it will not bring any discomfort and will not give complications. However, pregnancy is still a special condition that must be treated responsibly. Important for a healthy pregnancy:

Creating a prosperous psychological state of the family, due to constant experiences, the tone of the uterus can increase and even miscarriage occurs, give up all problems and do not think about the bad. All your actions and thoughts should come from the interests of the baby. Desired children are always stronger and happier, they are more confident in life and healthier. Enjoy every day of your pregnancy - it's so short!

For the first three months of pregnancy, a woman, if she leads a healthy lifestyle, does not need to abruptly change her lifestyle due to pregnancy, leave work and lie on the couch all day. All changes in the body occur gradually, and they themselves will push you to change your lifestyle gradually and smoothly, without stress. Listen to your body, it is wiser than you, it is believed that pregnancy toxicosis is a signal of protest from the body against an unhealthy lifestyle (poor diet, smoking, taking medications).

Protect yourself from stress, do not watch scary films, do not swear with neighbors and family, women during pregnancy become very sensitive, tearful due to hormones. Very vulnerable - let your relatives write off your psychos for pregnancy and treat them philosophically.

If possible, protect yourself from bad habits, stories that you can’t quit smoking abruptly during pregnancy are nothing more than a ridiculous myth. At times increases the risk of developing fetal defects and weak immunity, fetal growth retardation. Smoking pregnant - it looks creepy!

Now it's summer, actively use it - go to the beach, relax and sunbathe, swim, eat fresh fruits and berries, vegetables, go on vacation - stock up on positive and positive emotions.

If you are anxious, you do not know what will happen to you in childbirth, sign up for courses for pregnant women. I myself conduct a similar course together with a psychologist and see how our pregnant girls change after the course, they gain confidence and faith in their own strength. Often, pregnant women are most afraid of the fear of the unknown and the fear of not coping with childbirth and the role of the mother.

In addition, it is extremely important to pay close attention to your diet, it is important to eat regularly, properly and tasty. Food is one of the ways to have fun and positive emotions.

Healthy eating is the foundation of your baby's health.
During pregnancy, healthy food is just as important as during the birth of a child, after all. What mommy eats, one way or another gets to the baby, which means that he eats with her. Together with heredity, proper nutrition during pregnancy is the basis for the birth of a healthy pregnancy and normal childbirth. “Child health and infant mortality depend on what we fed and what we didn’t feed pregnant women,” used to say one of the leading specialists in pediatrics, K. Frederike.

This is actually true, during pregnancy, the healthy food that the mother ate is the bricks for building the baby's body, the rate of growth and development of the fetus will depend on the nutritional value. The mother's body supplies the future baby through the placenta with all the components necessary for growth and development - protein, fats and carbohydrates, and besides them also minerals and vitamins. Therefore, mom needs to know, now she is already eating for the “mother-fetus” couple and you should not lean on synthetic additives - preservatives, dyes and fast foods. But it’s not worth going to extremes with dieting - diets are generally contraindicated for pregnant women, the maximum that is possible with active weight gain is the practice of fasting days. The child will sensitively respond to all changes in nutrition - it has been noticed that children in the womb love sweet food and juices most of all, when drinking juice, babies respond with activity and movements.

What to include in the diet, and what is not worth it?
It is definitely worth noting that in the nutrition of pregnant women it is necessary to be guided by two main ideas - naturalness and wholeness. First of all, give preference to natural products in nutrition. Although in the conditions of large cities and the frantic pace of life it is difficult. Try to minimize processed foods, ready-made foods and frozen dinners, snacks in public catering and dry food in your diet. Of course, occasionally such products will not harm, but with their systemic consumption, health will not increase.

Natural products store "vitality" in themselves, life lives in them, just like in a pregnant woman. It is especially worth it now, in summer, to eat more food that has grown under the sun - these are berries, fruits and vegetables (preferably local, not imported). But the amount of protein food needs to be dosed - no, you should not go into vegetarianism, animal products should be in the diet - but it should be high-quality protein from meat and fish, poultry, and not from store cutlets or sausages, there are no high-quality proteins!

Even if from childhood cereals and cereals disgust you. Try to take a fresh look at these products - make muesli or cereal shake. Cook porridge in a slow cooker with fruit and cream, make cereal as a side dish for a meat dish. It is also important to properly prepare food - this is boiling and baking, stewing or steam cooking. But frying is not the healthiest type of cooking, although it is very tasty.

Replace refined and processed foods as much as possible with natural ones - ordinary sugar for brown or honey, polished rice for brown or red, cereals from ready-made cereals for whole grains with skins.

And yet, on the advice of grandmothers from the hungry post-war years, you should not eat for two - today this is not relevant. You need to eat according to your appetite, preferably in small portions, the size of a boat, folded from your palms. The same applies to drinking - edema in women during pregnancy occurs due to hormonal changes, and not water - with fluid restriction, metabolism can be disturbed.

What will your doctor see?
The average pregnancy lasts from 38 to 41-42 weeks, and the countdown will go from the last menstruation. The doctor at the appointments will measure the bottom of the uterus for you, since the height of his standing clearly reflects the gestational age, which allows you to monitor the development of the baby. The doctor will measure your weight, blood pressure, and give you directions for a urinalysis - this will make it possible to notice the onset of complications in time. The fact that you so often want to have check-ups, almost every month in the first half of pregnancy, and much more often from the second half, does not mean that everything is bad with the baby or you - all pregnant women go through this, so you can keep mom and baby healthy.

In the first trimester, you will meet your obstetrician-gynecologist for the first time, some doctors work in parallel in the antenatal clinic and the maternity hospital, so it is possible to immediately see a doctor and then give birth to him. The doctor will initially examine you and specify the gestational age, get an exchange card for you and give directions for tests. This often frightens or puzzles women - "why do I need tests, I'm healthy, I feel good!" Alas, well-being is not always equivalent to health, and tests help to reveal a hidden pathology that pregnancy can reveal and give complications. In addition, without knowing it, we can carry hidden infections. Which the body keeps us in the water. And for a baby, they can be dangerous - it's herpes, ureaplasma or thrush. It is important for the doctor to know about them and keep them under control.

Sometimes, due to pregnancy, a doctor may recommend to your employer that you change your job or equip your workplace - for example, if you worked at a gas station, you must be transferred to another place - gasoline vapors for a child are a hundredfold risk of vices. If you sit at the computer for hours, you should be transferred to light work; for pregnant women, the computer can be no more than two hours a day with breaks every half hour for 20-30 minutes. In addition, the doctor will advise you to take certain drugs - multivitamins, folic acid, iodine and iron, especially if you live in an ecologically unfavorable area.

And most importantly, in a healthy pregnancy, the most important participant is mommy, you need to carry yourself with the idea that you are a fairy. You have created life inside yourself, you have created a real miracle, do not program yourself for bad things, think only about pleasant things! Your baby will be born soon!

The power of prayers to help a pregnant woman bear a healthy fetus

The most important thing in the life of any woman is her natural destiny to become a mother, to give a new life, to continue the human race. No matter how important women are engaged in, no matter how successful they achieve in work and career, the birth of a child will always be the most important event in life. Therefore, those women who have difficulty bearing and giving birth to children are always looking for ways to help themselves.

Conspiracies and prayers for pregnancy are those simple manipulations that, together with the use of medical means, can help get rid of the problems of childbearing. Moreover, the favorable effect of the Holy Spirit is unambiguously confirmed even by medical luminaries. Note that a significant part of obstetricians have icons and other religious paraphernalia in their offices. And many adult children are a confirmation of the incredible miracle that the Power of the Lord can give.

The grace-filled power of prayer will certainly act as a talisman for the child in the womb. Also incredible is the miracle that, by attracting the help of the Heavenly Forces, one can become pregnant for those who have such a problem. The main thing is that if you want to become a mother of a cute, healthy baby, do not resort to the services of the Dark Forces. The birth and bearing of offspring is the exclusive destiny of the Almighty. He is the beginning of all things, the creator of life and death, he and only he needs to pray for the health of the mother and her child.

Even in the case that does not portend any danger, it is worth taking pregnancy with all responsibility and protecting yourself from the evil eye and involuntary envy. After you find out that you managed to get pregnant, make yourself a talisman against bad people and demonic forces - this will save you from all misfortune.

Holy righteous and miracle workers to help the mother's womb

Each sphere of human life is, as it were, under the patronage of its holy righteous and saints. The Lord instructs them to look after their flock, hear aspirations, delve into problems, instruct and admonish their negligent children. The most faithful patrons to us in all the problems of earthly existence are Guardian Angels. But there are still those in the pantheon of saints to whom we offer prayers in the hope of healing the soul and body.

Holy Mother of God

The most important patroness of all righteous Christian wives, of course, is the Most Holy Theotokos. E th send prayers when there is a problem getting pregnant. An inexplicable miracle and mercy is sent to women by a prayer offered to the Virgin Mary. It is customary to ask her to protect the mother's womb from any trouble, to give health to the baby, so that the pregnancy goes smoothly and ends with a successful resolution in childbirth. She also gives hope and a talisman against any witchcraft misfortune and involuntary evil eye.

In order to calmly carry a child in the womb for the entire prescribed period, it is necessary to read a prayer-amulet for the mother and the yet unborn child. It does not require complex efforts, but it gives just what women need - peace and peace of mind. There are no special conditions for reading a prayer: at any suitable time, when you feel inexplicable anxiety, an unkind sign of the evil eye, or just to calm down, read the words addressed to the Mother of God many times. By calling on her for help, you will receive the strongest protection and confidence.

“O Glorious Mother of God, have mercy on me, Thy servant (name), come to my aid during my illnesses and dangers with which all the poor daughters of Eve give birth. Remember, O Blessed One in women, with what joy and love You went hastily to a mountainous country to visit Your relative Elizabeth during her pregnancy, and what a miraculous effect Your grace-filled visit had on both mother and baby. And according to Thy inexhaustible mercy, grant me, Thy most humble servant, to be relieved of the burden safely; grant me this grace so that the child, now resting under my heart, having come to his senses, with joyful leaping, like the holy baby John, worships the Divine Lord the Savior, who, out of love for us sinners, did not disdain himself to become a Baby. The unexpressed joy with which Your virgin heart was filled when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, may it alleviate the sorrow that comes to me amid the illnesses of birth. May the life of the world, my Savior, born of Thee, save me from death, which cuts off the lives of many mothers at the hour of resolution, and may the fruit of my womb be counted among the elect of God. Hear, O Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble supplication and look upon me, a poor sinner, with the eye of Your grace; do not shame my hope in Your great mercy and fall on me. Helper of Christians, Healer of diseases, may I also be able to experience for myself that You are the Mother of Mercy, and may I always glorify Your grace, which has never rejected the prayers of the poor and delivers all who call on You during sorrow and illness. Amen".

Be sure to buy an icon with the face of the Most Holy Theotokos in the church shop. This will be your amulet for the entire duration of pregnancy and patronage in resolving the burden. She will become your holy helper if you later hang her over your baby's bed.

Especially strong prayers to the Mother of God, which help in the most difficult problems of conception, are read on her holidays of the church calendar:

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin.
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos.
Entrance to the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos.
Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos.

The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the most powerful day for those women who are desperate to have children. Lift up your prayers, asking her for the mercy of conception, and you will be blessed - you will definitely be given a gift from above. After all, it was on this day that the Holy Spirit brought the good news to the Virgin Mary that she would be blessed in wives and become the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Holy Paraskeva Friday

The second nickname of St. Paraskeva is "Woman's intercessor". The great martyr received her nickname because prayers to her had an incredible miracle - to help in all troubles, in mental and physical pain in women. She is asked for help, having problems getting pregnant, and she is offered a prayer for an easy resolution in the birth of a child.

Any woman who wishes to have Saint Paraskeva as her intercessor must pay her respects to her on Friday. Friday is the day of Paraskeva the Great Martyr. The parents named their daughter after the Friday when our Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross.

Prayers to her help to get pregnant, protect the mother and child in the womb from the evil eye, and safely bear the child. Prayers to Paraskeva, read at the birth of a child, are also famous in order to alleviate pain and suffering in childbirth.

But, perhaps, the most important secret of prayers to Paraskeva is that it is customary for her to send a prayer in her desire to give birth to a daughter. If only boys are born to parents, or if the secret desire of the mother is the birth of a girl in her joy, then earnestly pray to the holy great martyr for this. She will make sure that your dream becomes a happy reality. A daughter for a mother is always a welcome child, joy and help in all matters, a joy to her soul and heart. In ancient times, housekeeping was much more difficult than in our time, so the appearance in the family of another woman, a daughter, for the mother was a great help and relief in hard work.

“O holy and blessed Paraskevo, the martyr of Christ, beauty of a virgin, praise of martyrs, purity of image, magnanimous mirror, wise surprise, Christian faith guardian, accuser of idol flattery, champion of the Divine Gospel, zealot of the commandments of the Lord, worthy to come to the haven of eternal rest and in the devil of the Bridegroom your Christ God, lightly rejoicing, adorned with the crown of virginity and martyrdom! We pray to you, holy martyr, be sad for us to Christ God. With His most blessed vision, it is always rejoicing; pray to the All-Merciful, even with a word, open the eyes of the blind, may he save us from the disease of our eyes, both bodily and spiritual; kindle with your holy prayers the dark darkness that has come from our sins, ask the Father of Light for the light of grace with our spiritual and bodily eyes; enlighten us, darkened by sins; the light of God's grace, but for the sake of your holy prayers, sweet sight will be given to the innocent. O great saint of God! O most courageous girl! O strong martyr Saint Paraskevo! With your holy prayers, be our sinful helper, intercede and pray for the accursed and viciously negligent sinners, hasten to help us, for these are very weak. Pray to the Lord, pure maiden, pray to the Merciful, holy martyr, pray to your Bridegroom, immaculate bride of Christ, and help with your prayers, the darkness of sin is gone, in the light of true faith and deeds of the Divine, we will enter into the light of the eternal day of the never-ending, into the city of joy forever, into now you shine brightly with glory and endless joy, glorify and sing with all the Heavenly Forces the Trisagionary One Deity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen".

Blessed Xenia of Petersburg and Blessed Matrona of Moscow

These saints have firmly established themselves in patronage over women. There are many recorded facts of the miraculous birth of children by spouses, when the wives were already desperate to get pregnant. When official medicine throws up its hands in impotence, then the Holy Heavens extend their mercy to us so that our souls grow stronger in faith in the Almighty.

Prayer to the blessed Matrona of Moscow, offered up every morning, will be the strongest medicine for your body. If you do not treat it formally, but, as a devout Christian, show reverence for the Powers of Heaven, walk with a firm step into the temple of the Lord, then your efforts will be rewarded with the miracle of the birth of a child.

Prayer for the conception of a child to the holy blessed Matrona of Moscow

“Oh, blessed mother Matrono, now hear and accept us, sinners, praying to you, who have learned to accept and listen to all those who suffer and mourn with faith and hope for your intercession and the help of those who come running, quick help and miraculous healing to everyone; may your mercy not fail now to us, the unworthy, restless in this vain world and nowhere else finding consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses, heal our sicknesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the passionately fighting devil, help us convey our worldly Cross, to bear all the hardships of life and not to lose the image of God in it, to keep the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have strong hope and hope in God and unfeigned love for our neighbors, so that after leaving this life, help us reach the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen".

Blessed Xenia of Petersburg has become one of those saints who give a miracle of healing in the most hopeless cases. A great many already confirmed and scientifically recorded cases, when, having abandoned the hope of becoming pregnant and bearing a baby, after a pilgrimage to the holy relics of Blessed Xenia, this miracle was sent down to women. Also, the holy icons depicting Blessed Xenia serve as a great power that protects from the evil eye.

“O holy all-blessed mother Xenia!

Living under the protection of the Most High, guided and strengthened by the Mother of God,

hunger and thirst, cold and heat, who endured reproach and persecution,

the gift of clairvoyance and wonderworking from God you received

and rest under the shadow of the Almighty.

Now the holy Church, like a fragrant flower, glorifies you.

Coming at the place of your burial, in front of your holy image,

as if you live with us, we pray to you: accept our petitions and bring them to the throne of the merciful Heavenly Father, as if you have boldness to Him, ask those who flow to you eternal salvation, for good deeds and undertakings our generous blessing, from all troubles and sorrows deliverance.

Stand with your holy prayers before our All-Merciful Savior for us, unworthy and sinners.

Help, Holy Blessed Mother Xenia, illuminate the babies with the light of holy baptism and seal the gift of the Holy Spirit;

Heal those who are sick and ill, send down family love and consent, monastics with a good feat make merit and protect from reproaches, affirm the pastors in the fortress of the Holy Spirit,

save our people and country in peace and serenity,

pray for those deprived of communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ at the dying hour.

You are our hope and hope, quick hearing and deliverance,

we send thanks to you

and with you we glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen".

To Thee, beloved Father, we resort, creatures gifted with reason, because by special advice You created our race, with ineffable wisdom creating our body from the earth and breathing the soul of Your Spirit into it, so that we could be Your likeness.

It was in Your will to create us immediately as angels, if You wished, but in Your wisdom it was desirable that in the order established by You through marriage, through wife and husband, the human race would multiply. You wanted to bless people so that they multiply and grow. And the earth, and the hosts of angels filled.

O Father and God! May Your name be glorified and glorified forever for what has been done for us. I also thank You for Your mercy, that according to Your will, not only I myself came from Your wonderful creation and replenish the number of the chosen ones, but that You honored me in marriage to bless and send the fetus to me in the womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Father.

Therefore, I turn to You alone and pray to You with a humble heart for help and mercy, so that what You do in me by Your strength is preserved and brought to a prosperous birth. For, O God, I know that choosing your path is not in human power and not in human strength. We are prone to fall and too weak in spirit to pass through the nets of those that we, by Your permission, the evil spirit sets up.

We are weak to avoid the misfortune to which our frivolity can plunge. Only Your infinite wisdom. And whoever you wish, you will save from any misfortune. Therefore, I, Your servant, the Merciful Father, in my sorrow I commit myself into Your hands and pray that You look with an eye of mercy on me and save all suffering. Send us, my dear husband and me, joy, the joy of every Lord.

So that at the sight of Your blessing, we worship You from the heart of everything and serve You with a joyful spirit. I do not want to be withdrawn from what You imposed on our entire family, commanding children to be born 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 good and healthy child, we swear to bring him to you again, and consecrate him to you, so that for our seed and us you remain the Father and God merciful, so we, together with our child, swear by faithful servants you always be.

Prayers for pregnant women with a threat of miscarriage and for the preservation of the fetus

Carrying a baby is a very difficult, exhausting process. On the one hand, this is a miracle that some have been waiting for for many years, but on the other hand, it happens that carrying a child is not only difficult, but even dangerous for the health of the woman herself.

If a woman is constantly tormented by various problems, that there is a question of maintaining a pregnancy or a possible miscarriage, then it is necessary to ask for intercession from the Blessed Virgin Mary.

You should ask the Virgin Mary for patronage like this:

“Oh, Blessed Virgin, Mother of the Lord Most High, Quickly Obedient Intercessor of all who resort to You with faith! Look from the height of Your heavenly majesty on me indecent, falling to Your icon, hear soon the humble prayer of me a sinner and bring it to Your Son: implore Him to illuminate my gloomy soul with the light of His Divine grace and cleanse my mind from vain thoughts, and calm my suffering heart and heal its wounds, may it instruct me in good deeds and strengthen me to work with fear, may it forgive all the evil I have done, may it deliver eternal torment and not deprive me of His heavenly Kingdom. O Most Blessed Theotokos: You have deigned to be called in Your image, the Quick Hearing One, commanding everyone to come to You in faith: do not look down on me mournful and do not let me perish in the abyss of my sins. On Thee, according to Bose, all my hope and hope of salvation, and I entrust Your protection and intercession to myself forever. Amen."

Prayer for a pregnant daughter and her child

Mothers not only know how difficult it can be for women in this position, but they are incredibly worried about their daughters. They are probably even more worried than when they themselves were waiting for replenishment in their family. But, in order not to be so nervous and be sure that everything will be fine with her daughter, the mother can ask the Most Holy Theotokos.

“Holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on Your servant (name) and help in this hour, let your burden be safely resolved. O all-merciful Lady Theotokos, give help to this Thy servant, who requires help, especially from You. I fall down to you, Mother of the Most High God, be merciful, the time has come for her to be a mother, and implore Christ our God, who has incarnated from You, to strengthen her with His strength from above. Amen".

Mothers can ask the Holy Ones for the safe bearing of the fetus, for her daughter and her blood to be healthy, for the preservation of the fetus, for a quick and painless delivery.

Falling down to Your miraculous image, we pray to You, the all-generous Mother of the Human-loving Lord: surprise us with Your rich mercy, and speed up our petitions, brought to You, quick to hearken, to fulfill everything, for the benefit of consolation and salvation for anyone.

Visit, Blessing, Thy servants of Thy grace, give the ailing healing and perfect health, overwhelmed silence, captive freedom and various images of the suffering consolation, deliver, all-merciful Lady, every city and country from gladness, ulcers, coward, flood, fire, sword and other temporal and eternal executions, with Your motherly boldness averting the wrath of God: and spiritual relaxation, overwhelmed by passions and falls, the freedom of Your servant, as if you lived without stumble in all piety in this age, and in the future of eternal blessings we will be vouchsafed to the grace and love of mankind of Your Son and God, Him all glory, honor and worship is due, with His Beginningless Father and the Most Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever.
