1) Short prayer for healthy pregnancy
“With the strength and with all the powers of God Our Lord, I ask for help and protection. I ask for help to have a healthy pregnancy. I ask for protection for my unborn baby.
I beg You God Our Lord, do not allow anything to go wrong. God, allow me to have a normal, natural and healthy birth.
Amen.”
Having a healthy pregnancy is crucial. It determines the life of the unborn child, and might also determine the life of the mother – though in rare cases.
As a father, friend, or relative of the pregnant mother, you can say this short prayer to God.
When you say this prayer, what should you expect?

Holy Mighty Angel, you who take care of everything and everyone, I ask that you give me eternal will and spiritual help so that I do not make mistakes during this pregnancy.

He/She is not yet born, but already needs God’s protection. That’s why I pray to you, to protect this fetus that I carry inside me. I pray to You to help me have a healthy and safe pregnancy.
Please hear my request, help and protect me throughout my pregnancy.

I hand over to you my own concerns;
any anxious fears that may come,
my own wishes for the little person
that I still have no knowledge of.
Grant that it may be born healthy in body,
keep far from it perils to the soul.”
