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. It was your wisdom that through a wife and a husband the human race should multiply. You desired to bless people so that they multiply and grow. Oh, Father Almighty! I glorify and glorify Your name for mercy and for everything done for us. I also thank you for the fact that by your will I myself was created and for the fact that in marriage you blessed me and sent me a fetus. This is your gift, your grace. Therefore, to you alone, Lord, I turn with a prayer and a humble heart, so that the fruit is preserved and my child comes safely into the world. Oh, God, I understand that you appoint a human path, and we have no right to choose it on our own. Therefore, I, the Servant of God (proper name), give myself into your hands and pray for your mercy. Send my husband and I joy and joy. A child born, we vow to bring him to you. And together with him we will all faithfully serve you and glorify you. Amen".

“Oh, Blessed Mother of God, have mercy on me, the Servant of God (proper name), save me from all dangers and illnesses. Remember, O Blessed One in women, the joy that you experienced when you carried the baby Jesus under your heart. 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. Let me experience all the joy of having a baby and forget about the pain associated with it as soon as possible. Save my fetus from possible death and me from death at the hour of resolution. Hear Holy Mother of God my humble prayer and grant me your grace. Do not be ashamed of my hope in your great mercy. I will be able to know that you are the true Mother of Mercy. I will praise you all the time. Amen".

Prayer for a healthy child

“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".

Prayer for release from the burden (in childbirth)

Of course, during pregnancy, every woman wants the birth to go smoothly, and there will be no problems. A strong prayer that will set up a woman spiritually and ensure easy childbirth is an appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos.

The prayer appeal sounds like this:

“Oh, Saint and Great Nicholas the Wonderworker, you supported all the suffering during your lifetime and continue to do so, being in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Prayers for a pregnant woman for her health

The strongest prayer of a mother or father for a pregnant daughter

It is believed that the most powerful prayer is the prayer of a mother or father for a pregnant daughter. It can be read both in the temple and at home.

The text of the prayer-address of the mother to the Blessed Virgin Mary:

“Most Holy Theotokos, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, I ask you to have mercy on the Servant of God (daughter’s name) and help her to resolve her burden safely. Oh, all-merciful and kind Lady of heaven, Mother of God, come to the aid of my daughter, support her in a difficult time for her. Only from you I expect help for my blood. I bow down to your image and pray for the protection of the Almighty for my daughter. You, Most Holy Theotokos, be merciful to her and do not leave her in difficult times. Amen".

Father's prayer also has special power. It is advisable to pray for your pregnant daughter in front of the icon of the Savior.

The words of the prayer appeal are as follows:

“Our Father, Great Savior, Almighty and All-Merciful. I am the Servant of God (proper name) and I turn to you and trust in you. I ask for help for my daughter, the Servant of God (daughter's name). Do not let her go astray, protect her from evil and dark forces, send her bright meetings and true friendship. Give her the strength to carry the baby safely and give birth to a healthy baby. I ask for support for her in the future, I thank you for every day I live and glorify Your Holy Name. Amen".

The power of parental love is immense, it does not need any proof. A strong psycho-emotional bond develops between mother and child during pregnancy. Over the years, it only strengthens and this is what is popularly called maternal love.

That is why it is very important that during the daughter's pregnancy, the mother constantly prays for her blood. It is very important that such a prayer will allow you to put a strong energy protection that will not allow you to harm your daughter.

Help the Servant of God (wife's name) during the period of bearing a child, strengthen her spiritual and bodily strength, do not let her harm evil people. Bless, Lord, the fruit that is in her womb, keep it until the hour when it is destined to be born. Send to her, Lord, Your Angel, so that he will always be near her and support her. Amen".

Prayer for a pregnant daughter-in-law

Despite the fact that there is no blood connection between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the prayer uttered by the husband's mother can provide significant spiritual support. You can use any prayer for pregnancy, moreover, you can insert your own wishes into the text. Such a prayer is more powerful if it is said in a church.

“Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of our Savior, I ask you for the health of the Servant of God (name of daughter-in-law). Help her to easily survive the birth and give birth to a healthy baby. Grant her to know happy motherhood and raise her child in the fear of God, glorifying the holy name of our Lord. Be merciful to her, do not let her deviate from the true path, strengthen her with the power of God. Amen".

Here we have given only a few prayers, the prayer book will be able to suggest others, and there are also specially collected prayer books for expectant mothers.
How to ask to be heard.

Often people grumble at God: “I go to the service every day and I know all the texts of the prayer book by heart. Why doesn't He help me?!

But it’s not for nothing that they repeat in the temple that it is necessary to “approach the sacraments of the Church with faith.” Without sincere faith and hope in God's help, even the most correctly learned prayer is nothing more than shaking the air, but with faith, even the most simple words“God save me and my unborn child” The Almighty will never leave without attention.
A married couple who believes and trusts in the help of God and his saints must definitely go to the temple for a prayer service, confess their sins and sincerely repent of them. It is not for nothing that in the parable of the prodigal son, after his repentance, the father rejoiced: “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” So God is joyful from our awareness and repentance.

Future parents need to protect peace in the family in every possible way, support each other and together ask for the mercy of the All-Good. In every possible way avoid attempts to conceive during the period of fasting and church holidays, it is not worth defiling them with carnal pleasures. One should ask the Lord and the saints for mercy every day, both before conception, and during pregnancy, and in childbirth. And you need to do this sincerely, freeing your thoughts from the vain, and thinking only about the future baby.

Ask God's help, and the Almighty with his saints will always hear and help. After all, Jesus said: “Blessed are those who weep, for they will be comforted (Gospel of Matthew 5:3), and who but the Lord can send comfort and joy to a mother who is passionately praying for a child!

Pregnancy is an incomparable period in a woman's life in terms of the depth of emotions. A long-awaited and desired pregnancy turns a woman into the happiest person on the planet. Unfortunately, it happens that already at the first appointment, at the same time as, the doctor informs the patient about the threat of miscarriage. The possibility of losing a long-awaited child causes a real emotional shock in a woman. This aggravates the situation even more, because even with a normal pregnancy, any negative emotions can cause complications, up to a miscarriage. A pregnant woman, even after learning about the threat of a miscarriage, must remain calm. First, forbid yourself to shed tears and fight in hysterics - this will not only not help, but can also seriously aggravate an already difficult situation. Secondly, completely trust your doctor and follow all his instructions. And, thirdly, every day, every free minute, with a church prayer, ask for the preservation of pregnancy.

Orthodox prayer to the Lord for the preservation of pregnancy

Prayer also strengthens our faith, helping to endure a difficult life period. Faith in God, in His mercy, hope for His help, help to find peace. And calmness is exactly the state and the medicine that a woman needs to maintain pregnancy - any doctor can confirm this.

      Answer

    Good day! Tell me, two months have passed since the birth and I would like to visit the temple. What about the permissive prayer: can I come to the service, defend it and go to the priest for this prayer? Or can I not enter the temple until this prayer is read? How to do it right?

    Answer

    1. Hello Ekaterina!
      Yes, you can come to the temple, defend the service and then go to the priest for this prayer, but do not venerate the holy icons and the cross yet. They came to the temple, stood aside, prayed, defended the service, and then approached the priest. There is a practice in many churches to confess before the service, or if there are several priests, then during the service, then you can go to confession and tell the priest, he may read these prayers to you right away and at the same time you can repent of sins and take communion.
      Peace be upon you and God's blessing!

      Answer

No matter how businesslike and strong a woman did not consider herself, it does not always happen as it was intended. Wonderful fairy tale cloudless happy life, husband and children - and the inability to become pregnant or bear a child. But if the miracle of conception happened, the prayer for the preservation of pregnancy, sincere hope in the Lord, helps to give birth to a healthy baby.

Why do women turn to prayers?

How many difficulties are left behind. But the woman is worried. Changes in the body affect the mood. I want to cry and laugh. Either you are offended by the inattention of loved ones, then you are annoyed by excessive, in your opinion, care. But the main thing in this situation is the child. He needs your peace of mind right now. He grows, moves his legs, moves his fingers. And he hears some words coming through the water. You won't understand them. But then, perhaps, dad passed. His emotions of love and pride. And this is probably the grandmother. She loves, but probably the main one in the family - she teaches everyone ... This is a difficult period, but the baby is more important.

Try to pick up church literature. Open the Bible to any page. After a while, calm will spread throughout the body. It does not matter what prayer, canon or akathist you read, it is important to remember: the Holy Father will not leave his child in trouble, will support and help.

You can pray at home, turn to the Guardian Angel for a walk, feel the strength and support in your hand from the small icon of the Holy Matrona of Moscow. Busy educated ladies are terrified at the very thought of entering the Temple. But how can a business woman, or a whistling girl, or a smart woman with glasses believe in the intangible. Do not be afraid. Put on a cover, protect yourself from evil eyes with a cloth, cross the threshold of the Church. Stand quietly on the sidelines. Close your eyes. Breathe in the slightly fragrant scent of incense. If tears flow, don't hold back. So you need it. Now. Then the tension will be released.

Prayer to the Mother of God

The Lord is merciful. It is said that he first fulfills his Mother's wish. Approach the Icon of the Mother of God. Look at the radiance and meekness. What tenderness and purity. Refer to her mentally. Share what hurts. Ask for help. Sincerely. Even if the whole world is against you, you will find solace here. The Orthodox prayer book recommends turning to our Intercessor with the words:

“Oh, Glorious Mother of God, have mercy on me, Thy servant, 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 wonderful effect Your grace-filled visit had in the mother and in the 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 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, Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble prayer and look down on me, a poor sinner, with Your eye of 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 never rejects the prayers of the poor and delivers all who call on You during times of grief and illness. Amen"

With great joy and love, you brought a miracle to your relative Elizabeth during her pregnancy. You gave grace to the child and mother. Grant me, Thy servant, grace and Thy kindness. Help to safely resolve the burden. So that the child that now rests under my heart may enter this world with joy. So that with faith and love they worship the Lord, who loves humanity so much that he did not disdain himself to be incarnated as a baby. May Your love and joy from the birth of the Son of the Lord diminish the pain and sorrow that is coming to me. Amen!"

Prayer to the Holy Blessed Matrona of Moscow

But he does not leave even later, showing mercy and protection during pregnancy and childbirth. Prayer during pregnancy will help those who decide to change their lives.

“O blessed mother Matrono, with your soul in heaven before the Throne of God, your body is resting on the earth, and the grace given from above exudes various miracles. Look now with your merciful eye on us, sinners, in sorrows, illnesses and sinful temptations, your dependent, comforting, desperate days, heal our fierce ailments, from God to us through our sin, forgive us, deliver us from many troubles and circumstances, implore our Lord Jesus Christ, forgive us all our sins, iniquities and sins, even from our youth, even to this day and hour, we have sinned, but by your prayers, having received grace and great mercy, we glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen."
