Pregnancy Prayers from around the world
Pregancy Prayer
This life you have given us
is so tiny, fragile, and vulnerable,
safe in the womb of flesh and hope,
yet subject to danger and death.
O God of love, creator of life,
hear our prayer.
We want this baby so much.
Please grant this child of ours
a full term of nurture,
the joy and mystery of life,
and the blessing of your love.
Grant us the fulfillment of our dreams,
a baby to cherish and protect,
a child to teach and guide,
a blessing to our family.
Amen.
Jewish Pregnancy Prayer
"May it be your will,
Adonai my God and God of my ancestors,
that you will ease the pains of pregnancy for me,
that You will increase my strength and the strength of my baby.
When my time to give birth arrives,
may I give birth easily.
May the pain of childbirth fulfill my transition into motherhood.
May the baby go out into the air of the world easily, without harm.
May the baby be born with good fortune
into life, peace, health, comfort and honor.
May my child find grace in Your eyes
and in the eyes of all your creations.
May this child's life fulfill the verse:
"God sets the childless woman among her household
as a happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
" May my husband and I raise this child to serve You.
May we merit to teach this child your holy Torah,
to have peace and comfort, honor and rest.
Guard us, my baby and me,
that we will not come to harm.
May You strengthen my courage,
my strength, and my might, as it says:
"My Lord, my life-breath is revived.
You have restored me to health and revived me."
Amen."
Pagan Pregnancy Prayer
Prayer for a First Pregnancy Each moment you experience this,
you who bring each moment through to its proper time.
This is my first pregnancy, however,
and I lean on you, asking for strength.
During the time of growing, give me strength.
Guide the baby in the way it is to grow,
bring it to health and strength.
During the time of waiting, give me patience,
so that my pregnancy might reach its fulfillment in its proper time.
You are my model, Mater Dea,
and I look to you for help. Ceisiwr Serith
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF LA LECHE
Prayer for a healthy preganancy
O Lord Jesus Christ,
through the intercession of Your tender Mother,
Our Lady of La Leche,
who bore You close to her heart
during those long months before Your birth,
I place my baby and myself entirely in Your Hands.
Free me, I beseech You, from useless and consuming worry.
Accept the sacrifice of my aches and pains,
which I unite to Your sufferings on the Cross.
Above all, most merciful and loving Jesus, protect this child
You have given to me from all harm,
bestowing the health and vigor every baby needs.
Implant in my heart and on my lips
the words and prayers of Your Mother and mine,
our Lovely Lady of La Leche.
All this I ask that my child and I may live to praise forever
Your Holy Name. Amen.

Through swelling ankles,
Deliver this child in good health to me.
Through heartburn,
Deliver this child in good health to me.
Through unknown fears,
Deliver this child in good health to me.
Through labor pains,
Deliver this child in good health to me.
Merciful Lord, Creator of all, hear my prayer.
Cradle my unborn child in the waters of good health and gentleness;

grant me an easy delivery, a safe birth and a healthy child.
