Prayer before childbirth

Most women experience a terrible fear of childbirth, especially if it is their first child. Those who have had a difficult experience of painful contractions also worry about repeated pain. I want to prepare myself so that I can feel more confident. Some people intensively study information on the topic, while others ask God's help, never tired of praying to the Lord and realizing that there is no other way to cope.

Believing young ladies pray both during preparation for conceiving a fetus, and when carrying a baby, and even directly during childbirth. The Holy Fathers say that it is necessary to turn to God constantly, every moment, every free minute. During contractions, prayer involuntarily calms and helps relieve pain.

Preparation for childbirth should include not only a physical, but also a spiritual aspect. That is, a pregnant woman should go to church before giving birth, attend a service, and confess.

Childbirth can be accompanied by unforeseen complications, and doctors are not omnipotent in all situations. Only God is omnipotent. According to our faith it will be for us. This is confirmed by numerous cases where prayer brought miracles. Unbearable pain subsided, and severe bleeding stopped.

Forgive her voluntary and involuntary sins, by Thy grace grant her the strength to be safely relieved of her burden, keep this and the baby in health and well-being, protect them with Thy angels and save them from the hostile action of evil spirits, and from all evil things. Amen.

Prayer before childbirth to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Grant her blessings at this hour, and grant her the birth of a child and bring her into the light of this world at the right time and the gift of intelligent light in holy baptism with water and spirit. We fall down to you, Mother of the Most High God, praying: be merciful to this mother, the time has come for her to be a mother, and beg Christ our God, who has become incarnate from you, to strengthen her with His power from above. Amen.

How can an icon and prayers to the Mother of God help a pregnant woman?

How will the birth go, will everything be fine? Every woman thinks about this with excitement. Don’t be afraid, the prayer “Helper in Childbirth” will take you away from all fears. The intercessor of all Christians and all women is the Mother of God. People turn to her in any everyday difficulties, she prays and asks for all sinners, she is patient with mistakes, and she is also an assistant in childbirth. The Mother of God is a mother herself and it is she who needs to be prayed to throughout pregnancy, and especially as birth approaches.

Whoever asks will be given. How good it is for the soul of a believer! He feels the hand of the Lord everywhere, his support and his sign. If a person prays, then he experiences less anxiety and stress, he knows and believes that his prayers will be heard, and the Lord will not abandon him. By praying to the Mother of God, the person asking receives her support and her help.

How to pray to the Mother of God?

Having already learned about pregnancy, a woman must read a prayer for the child she carries under her heart, so that her pregnancy takes place under the protection of the Mother of God.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for children:

“O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, pray to my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Protection of Your servants. Mother of God, introduce me to the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your, Most Pure, heavenly protection. Amen".

Prayers of Thanksgiving You can read it even during pregnancy. Don't all people have enough reasons to thank the Lord and the Mother of God? For pregnancy, for what we are already used to. Give thanks for the water, the sun, the sky, for admiring this world. We walk, we hear, we don’t go hungry. There are so many reasons to be grateful, we just sometimes forget about them.

Pregnancy itself is big miracle and the Lord's love for you. After all, the statistics on this issue today are not encouraging. How many couples have been dreaming for years, wanting to have a child, but cannot implement this main life plan. Over the years, a woman comes to understand that her most important mission, her purpose, is motherhood. Neither career, nor success, nor wealth can fill the heart as much as children's laughter and baby babble. Motherhood is a huge gift, they ask and pray to the Mother of God for it. With children comes a fullness of life, a lot of worries, but also a lot of joy. Children's love is unconditional; they love their parents because they are their parents. Who else could love you like that? They are defenseless, affectionate and expect the same love and affection in return. Here's what to think about during pregnancy. About that great joy, which will enter your home. And earnestly pray to the Mother of God and our Lord, thank and ask for a calm birth and happy motherhood.

Spiritual preparation for childbirth

Visit the temple according to your strength (depending on how the pregnancy is progressing, if there is no toxicosis, dizziness, or weakness). You can sit in church, you don’t have to stand, because during pregnancy it’s physically difficult.

To prepare for childbirth in a Christian way is to confess and receive communion. If you have never done this, but have wanted to for a long time and still haven’t dared, this is a wonderful reason to dare to take this serious step. After all, we are all sinners, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent (even if it seems that there are no special sins). Open the book of preparation for confession, it lists the sins that a person may suffer from. You will be surprised how many of them can be attributed to you.

And after confession and communion there comes such lightness, inner purity and understanding that the child will be born without your sins. Keep this state longer, it would be better forever. But our earthly life forces us to sin (irritation, displeasure, melancholy, anger lie in wait for us at every step). Knowing that the Lord is inside you, it will be easier to resist and not allow into your soul everything bad and what is not from God.

Do good deeds (if possible and to the best of your ability). Think about who you can help and how. If you can’t financially, don’t worry. Help with a kind deed and support. Now so many people need to participate, you can show your attention, prepare an unexpected surprise, make a craft with your own hands, or just spend a couple of hours with a glass of tea. The main thing is a good intention and an open heart.

It is often said that with pregnancy a woman withdraws into herself. She no longer reacts so strongly to negative manifestations surrounding world, she is less upset by those things that she could not help but notice before. The Lord gives her such emotional protection. She is a vessel, she is a home for her child. Therefore, praying to the Mother of God, the Lord, she fills this house with prayer, love, kindness. The child feels everything inside her. The woman is calm and balanced. With prayer there will no longer be impatience and irritation, which pregnant women experience when hormonal changes, prayer heals and calms. A child born in such an aura of faith will then himself become a believer and a worthy person. And this is the main dream of any mother.

Prayers during childbirth

You should definitely take the icon of the Mother of God with you to the maternity hospital. Pray all the time, as soon as the contractions subside, may the icon always be with you.

O All-Merciful Lady Theotokos, even though You did not require help in the birth of the Son of God, grant help to this Thy servant, who requires help, especially from You. Grant her blessings at this hour, and give birth to a child like her and bring her into the light of this world; grant her, at the right time, intelligent light in Holy Baptism with water and spirit. We fall down before you, Mother of the Most High God, praying: Be merciful to this mother, the time has come for her to be a mother, and beg Christ our God, who has become incarnate from You, to strengthen us with His power from above. For His power is blessed and glorified, with His Beginningless Father, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

A short prayer to Our Lady:

“Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary“The Lord is with You, blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.”

The Mother of God is kind and cordial, she will help you in this and any other good deed. Don't forget to ask and don't forget to thank. Be kind, attentive, pray in Russian, Old Church Slavonic and any other language. May the Lord protect you.

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 the great sacrament of “the entry of the soul into this world,” and this is also 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 to 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 - her body, tastes, character change, and her spiritual needs also change.

The little “angel” is already living his life in his mother’s tummy, and it is at this time that the future baby is tightly connected – in body with his mother, and in soul with God. This higher connection through the fetus is spiritually visible: both to others from the outside and to the mother herself. That is why many women, even those far from religion, come to church during pregnancy, realizing the importance of spiritual life and the fact that everything in this world depends on the Will and Grace of God. It also happens that during pregnancy future mom says the first prayer in his life.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYERS DURING PREGNANCY

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

It is imperative to pray for a successful pregnancy and successful birth, and it is better to do this more often. You can pray at home and in church, 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, it also connects powerful force Holy Church.

You can order a prayer service in a church or in a church shop, but you can make it simpler - order prayer services for pregnancy and safe childbirth on the Internet, through a special online service. By the way, recently, you can also light candles there for good health.

PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN

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 single organism, but after childbirth, the baby becomes a completely independent member of the family and society. How the birth will proceed largely depends on the actions of the future parents.

Before that important event Parents are actively preparing: they come for consultations with doctors, buy clothes for the baby and hygiene products, and clean the house. This is good, but it is still not enough. You need to prepare for childbirth and spiritually - prayers and prayer services for a successful birth will help you with the power of God's grace.

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

Elena, Vidnoye

PRAYERS FOR A SAFE PREGNANCY AND SUCCESSFUL BIRTH

There are many images of the Mother of God, in front of which it is customary to pray for a successful birth: “Feodorovskaya”, “Tikhvinskaya”, “Kazan”, “Helper in Childbirth”.

Prayer to the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God

Miraculous icon revered as the patroness of brides, family well-being, the birth of children in childless couples, helping with difficult childbirth. The Fedorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God is one of the shrines of the Romanov family. Tradition attributes authorship to the Evangelist Luke

PRAYER

With the coming of Your venerable icon, O Lady of God, the God-protected city of Kostroma, rejoicing today, like ancient Israel to the ark of the covenant, flows to the image of Your face and our God incarnate from You, and through Your maternal intercession You may ever intercede for all who seek peace under the shadow of Your shelter. and great mercy.

Prayer to the Mother of God in honor of Her icons “Helper to wives to give birth to children” and “Helper in childbirth”

PRAYER

Oh, Most Holy Lady Lady Theotokos, who never leaves us in earthly life!

To whom will I offer prayers, to whom will I bring tears and sighs, if not to You, Comfort to all the faithful! With fear, faith, love, Mother of the Belly, I pray: May the Lord enlighten Orthodox people to salvation, may He give us children to You and Your Son to please, may He keep us in the purity of humility, in the hope of salvation in Christ, and grant us all, in the veils of Thy grace, earthly consolation.

Keep us under the canopy of Thy mercy, Most Pure One, help those who pray for childbirth, turn away the slander of evil freedom, grave troubles, misfortunes and deaths. Grant us grace-filled insight, a spirit of contrition for sins, grant us to see all the height and purity of Christ’s teaching given to us; protect us from disastrous alienation. May we all, who gratefully praise Thy greatness, be worthy of Heavenly tranquility and there with Thy beloved, with all the saints, let us glorify the One God in the Trinity: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

PATRON SAINTS OF MARRIAGE AND PRAYERS TO THEM

There are also great saints who are considered patrons of marriage and helpers during childbirth: St. right Elizabeth and St. Prophet Zechariah, Saints Peter and Fevronia, Saint Luke of Voino-Yasenetsky, Saint Nicholas of Myra and many other saints who fervently pray for us before the Lord.

Prayer to the Holy Prophet Zechariah and Elizabeth

PRAYER

Oh, holy saints of God, prophet Zechariah and righteous Elizabeth!

Having fought a good fight on earth, we have naturally received in heaven the crown of righteousness, which the Lord has prepared for all who love Him. In the same way, looking at your holy image, we rejoice at the glorious end of your life and honor your holy memory.

You, standing before the Throne of God, accept our prayers and bring them to the All-Merciful God, to forgive us every sin and help us against the wiles of the devil, so that, having been delivered from sorrows, illnesses, troubles and misfortunes and all evil, we will live piously and righteously in the present We will be worthy, through your intercession, even though we are unworthy, to see good on the land of the living, glorifying the One in His saints, the glorified God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

It would be very correct to order a prayer service for safe birth, as well as touch the holy icons. The prayer service can be ordered either one-time or 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 a week away), after the end of the service (it would be good if it was a Sunday liturgy, you should confess before it and receive communion at 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 tell the priest so for a successful delivery. After it, the priest will bless you and go give birth with God.

Anna, young mother

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