Prayer during pregnancy
Pregnancy is a special, largely mysterious (in spiritual and physical terms) state of a Christian woman. Try to pray more: pray in the morning and in the evening, leaving for work or for a walk and returning home, pray before meals and after meals. Prayer sanctifies the life of the pregnant woman and the life of the unborn child; turning to the Lord, the Mother of God, to the saints, to the heavenly patron, to the Guardian Angel helps in everyday difficulties, comforts the soul and leads to a state of inner peace and humility before the Creator - and this is so necessary for a pregnant woman.
A pregnant woman should regularly and often partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, since the communion of the Body and Blood of the Lord is not only saving for the pregnant woman, but also has a beneficial effect on the child in her womb.
A pregnant woman should drink holy water as often as possible in the morning and eat prosphora.
Read the Holy Scriptures as little as possible, especially New Testament, and other spiritual books, since there are many of them now. At the service of a pregnant woman, especially in the later stages, of course, it is better to pray sitting closer to the window or the exit from the temple.
There is a pious custom to be blessed by the priest to carry the pregnancy, and when the time comes - to give birth.
Naturally, pregnant women often pray to the Mother of God. There is an icon called “Help in Childbirth”. Before this image, the following prayer is offered:

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 infant 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 that filled Your virgin heart when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, may it alleviate the sorrow that is coming 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PREGNANT WOMAN
The care of the Church for pregnant and lactating women is not limited to one prayer support. With the blessing of the confessor, they can fast not so strictly. If necessary, fasting before the Sacrament of Communion is reduced to several hours. These concessions to bodily post it is desirable to make up for diligence in other good deeds (prayer, almsgiving, reading spiritual literature, etc.).
The main thing, of course, is the personal faith and repentance of the parents. It is they who heal us and our children from sins and numerous ailments that are associated with them. Of great importance are the Church Sacraments (first of all, confession, communion, unction and marriage), prayer in the temple and at home, the healing effect of shrines (holy water, oil, arthos, etc.). Orthodox literature explains in detail the need for baptism, chrismation and genuine , informal churching of children. So, by the grace of God, Orthodox spiritual therapy, combined with rational medical treatment, makes it possible to avoid the horrors of “intrauterine Golgotha.”
But what about those people who realized that the cause of their child's illness lies within them? This question cannot be answered in a few words. First of all, don't despair. On the contrary, deep repentance and fervent prayer to God are needed. Sin cripples a person, but the grace of God heals him. It is doubly criminal for parents who are guilty before their child to miss the time for repentance and prayer.
For today, again and again, a miracle is being performed, about which St. John the Baptist spoke: “... God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones” (Matt. 3, 9). And then, for the piety of the parents, the Merciful Lord will say amazing words to their suffering children, once addressed to the publican Zacchaeus: “... Now salvation has come to this house, because he is also the son of Abraham, for the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost” (Lk. 19, 9 -10).

Prayers before childbirth
Before childbirth, primiparous fear appears - a natural reaction, a reaction of human self-preservation. How to reduce this fear? Everything from the hand of God must be accepted with humility and thanksgiving. It must be remembered that without the will of God, even a hair from a human head cannot fall. For the Lord we live and die.
Be sure to pray to the Lord to bless the birth. Having prayed and relied on the will of God, then everything should be accepted meekly, for there is no prayer that the Lord has not heard.
On the eve of childbirth, you should pray for all the doctors who will take part in them: midwives, anesthesiologists, sisters, so that the Lord will help them in their work. Until the very moment of childbirth, pray unceasingly short prayers: "Lord have mercy! God bless! Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!”
If the midwife insists that you remove the cross before giving birth, then try to convince her that she does not force you to do this, as a person of the Orthodox faith. But if you see irritation, if a dispute flares up, a quarrel, in this case it is better to remove the cross, or hang it on your hand or finger, or ask that this cross be placed next to you during childbirth.

Pregnancy is a special, largely mysterious (in spiritual and physical terms) state of a Christian woman. Try to pray more: pray in the morning and in the evening, leaving for work or for a walk and returning home, pray before meals and after meals. Prayer sanctifies the life of the pregnant woman and the life of the unborn child; turning to the Lord, the Mother of God, to the saints, to the heavenly patron, to the Guardian Angel helps in everyday difficulties, comforts the soul and leads to a state of inner peace and humility before the Creator - and this is so necessary for a pregnant woman.

Prayer during pregnancy

Pregnant women often pray to the Mother of God. There is an icon called “Help in Childbirth”. Before this image, the following prayer is offered:

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 infant 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 that filled Your virgin heart when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, may it alleviate the sorrow that is coming 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.

Prayer for pregnant women

Almighty God, Creator of everything visible and invisible! To You, beloved Father, we resort, gifted with the mind of creation, because You, on special advice, created our race, having created our body from the earth with inexpressible wisdom and breathing into it the soul from Your Spirit, so that we would be Your likeness. And although it was in Your will to create us at once, like the Angels, if only you wanted, but Your wisdom was pleased that through the husband and wife, in the order of marriage established by You, the human race multiplied; You wanted to bless people so that they would grow and multiply and fill not only the earth, but also the angelic hosts.
O God and Father, may Your name be forever glorified and glorified for all that You have done for us!
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! Therefore, I turn to You alone and pray to You with a humble heart for mercy and help, so that what You do in me by Your power will be preserved and brought to a prosperous birth. For I know, O God, that it is not in the power and power of man to choose our 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, in which our frivolity plunges us into. Your wisdom is limitless. Whom You will, You will save unscathed through Your Angel from every misfortune.
Therefore, I, merciful Father, commit myself in my sorrow into Your hands and pray that You look at me with an 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 hearts and serve with a joyful spirit. I do not want to be excluded 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 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 .
Hear, Merciful God, the prayer of Your last servant, fulfill the prayer of our heart for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who became incarnate for us, now abides with You and the Holy Spirit and rules in eternity. Amen.

Before childbirth, primiparous fear appears - a natural reaction, a reaction of human self-preservation. How to reduce this fear? Everything from the hand of God must be accepted with humility and thanksgiving. It must be remembered that without the will of God, even a hair from a human head cannot fall. For the Lord we live and die.
Be sure to pray to the Lord to bless the birth. Having prayed and relied on the will of God, then everything should be accepted meekly, for there is no prayer that the Lord has not heard.
On the eve of childbirth, you should pray for all the doctors who will take part in them: midwives, anesthesiologists, sisters, so that the Lord will help them in their work. Until the very moment of childbirth, pray with unceasing short prayers: “Lord, have mercy! God bless! Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!”
If the midwife insists that you remove the cross before giving birth, then try to convince her that she does not force you to do this, as a person of the Orthodox faith. But if you see irritation, if a dispute flares up, a quarrel, in this case it is better to remove the cross, or hang it on your hand or finger, or ask that this cross be placed next to you during childbirth.
