A child is a gift from Above, a miracle of Heaven, given by the Lord God. With the advent of the baby in the house, everything around begins to spin at an incredible speed: breast-feeding, the first trip to kindergarten, school, etc. Therefore, every married couple dreams of kids. However, not everyone gets pregnant on the first try.
Some are forced to undergo constant examinations, procedures and take medications, but there is no sense in this. For what reason, pregnancy is not available to all women, we will not speak. But we will try to help in this problem. Prayer to get pregnant is one of the most effective options for stimulating pregnancy.
The problem of the inability to conceive a child
The problem of infertility existed several centuries ago. And, despite the fact that at present there are more and more childless families, infertility was known in ancient times. But if today this problem can be dealt with with the help of medicine (IVF, stimulation, etc.), then they did not even think about such procedures. To get pregnant, some used a conspiracy, others - folk remedies, and still others preferred to pray to the Saints, asking them for God's blessing for the speedy conception of a baby. For many centuries now, prayer to get pregnant has been popular among those couples who want to become happy parents as soon as possible. It has been uttered by millions of women in completely different times, and it has helped many to achieve their desired goal.
There were also prayer appeals for the birth of a healthy baby. Those parents who were already able to get pregnant resorted to their help. But first things first.
Prayer will help a woman get pregnant in the near future, if you follow the rules for carrying out acts of this kind, which we will talk about now.
We pray correctly
Praying mentally or in a whisper - everyone decides for himself. And if you come across reviews where people recommend saying prayers out loud, then this is all fiction. A person can address the Almighty in any way he wants, even out loud, even mentally. If you choose the right words, then the Almighty will hear you, even if you just mentally ask him for help. And yet, in order for prayer to help you quickly get pregnant, you must adhere to the following tips:
- Before asking God for help, both future parents should confess in the temple and take communion. With a purified soul, your prayers will be heard much faster.
- When pronouncing a prayer to get pregnant, and it doesn’t matter at all whether it is Muslim (Islam) or Orthodox, you should turn to the Lord not only on your own behalf, but also on behalf of the man from whom you want to get pregnant. It is good if your spouse himself expresses a desire to pray with you.
- When turning to the Saints with prayer requests to speed up the process of conceiving a fetus, you need to find out as much information about them as possible so that it does not turn out that you are asking to get pregnant at the face of that Saint to whom people pray for repentance or the repose of the soul of the deceased. Therefore, it is very important to know who to pray to in order to get pregnant.
- Sincere intentions will help you become happy parents faster. If you want to become parents by dry reading a set of phrases, then, unfortunately, you will not achieve your desired goal. Only sincere faith and the power of the Lord will help you find the happiness you ask for.
- Prayer must be read consciously. Only sincerely believing people receive what they ask the Almighty for. And that you are going to turn to God for help, it is better not to tell anyone. Just believe in what you ask the Almighty. Your faith will be enough for the Lord to hear your prayers. And from evil tongues and thoughts it will only get worse.
- Do not resort to the help of all the Saints with prayers, being in a negative mood. So, a prayer should be read only when a person can fully open up before the Almighty, getting rid of angry thoughts, resentment, anger and hatred.
- Ask the Saints to give you good health, endurance and patience, thanks to which you can survive all difficulties.
- First of all, you need to resort to the advice of qualified doctors who know what drugs are prescribed for infertility, and can also point out the causes of this kind of problem.
Prayers to get pregnant
There are a lot of prayers that can speed up the process of conceiving a fetus. We will consider some of them, which, according to the public, are the most effective.
Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos
This prayer must be pronounced in front of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. You can go to the temple, or you can turn to the Saint at home if you have an icon of the Virgin Mary in your house.
The prayer goes like this:
“Oh, the Great Martyr, the Most Holy Mother of the Father of our Most High, our protector. I send my prayers to Your face and bow with sincere faith. Our most humble, look into my eyes, who have sinned more than once, I fall before Your face. I want to ask, may my unforgettable prayer be heard by you. I pray, they trust in Your Son, to illuminate my darling, darkened by the face of Divine grace, and let him help cleanse my mind of dark thoughts, and pacify my yearning heart and heal the deepest wounds on it.

I beg you, Blessed Virgin, only with your prayers the Almighty will send me and my husband a miracle from Heaven, child, so long expected, may God give my womb fruit. May he grow stronger in me as the will of the Lord and to His Glory. Change the mourners of our little darlings for the happiness given to our parents. Amen".
Prayer appeal of a childless couple to the Lord
A strong prayer that helps speed up the process of pregnancy. With faith in the Power of the Lord, the prayer appeal will be heard, and you will be able to become pregnant with a child.
“I pay attention to You, our Almighty. We appeal to all the saints. Hear the prayers of my and my husband, Thy servants (your name and the name of your spouse), Lord, Merciful and Almighty. Yes, answer our prayers, send Your help. We beg you, come down to us, the Almighty, do not disregard our prayer speeches, remember Your laws on the prolongation of the family and the increase of the human people and become our patron, help with Your help to preserve what You predicted. God, You created everything out of nothing with Your mighty power and laid the foundation for everything in this world without edges: You created the human body in Your likeness and rewarded the marital union with the church with the highest mystery. Have mercy on our Lord, over us, united by marriage and trusting in Your help, may Your Almighty mercy come to us, may we also be ready for reproduction and we can become pregnant with a girl or a boy and contemplate our children, up to the third and up to the fourth generations, and we will live to the deepest old age and come to Your Kingdom. I beg you, hear me, O our Almighty Ruler, come to me and bestow a child on my womb. We will not forget Your grace and will serve You humbly together with our children. Amen".

Prayer to Matrona for an early pregnancy
Many people who want to become happy parents in the near future resort to the help of the Matrona of Moscow, turning to her with prayer appeals.
So, in order to get pregnant faster, a woman and a man need to go to the temple and make requests to the Matrona of Moscow, standing in front of her face. Or if you have an icon of this Saint in your house, then you can pray at home. But before that, it is desirable to confess and take communion.
So, with a purified and communed soul, in order to quickly feel parental happiness, you need to read the following prayer:
“I appeal to our Blessed Matronushka. You, the most humble, always accepting and listening to those who have renounced everything, heed my prayers and hear me, grief melting in my soul, bowing before You. Even now Your compassion towards me, a sinner and disobedient, will not be taken away. I pray, help heal the illness of our friendly and sincerely believing family, deliver us from torture and the unclean, help us to bring our Cross, given by the Lord God to us. Our most blessed one, trust in the Almighty, pray to him to have mercy on our sinful souls, may he forgive us for all the evil we have done. Let us forgive our sins, anger, hatred, resentment and unclean thoughts. Trust him to give us a healthy and kind girl or boy. We believe and complain about Your condescension and our Lord God to have a strong, rightly looking into the future and exuding warm feelings for all our neighbors. I turn to the Blessed Matrona. Hear our prayers, do not deny us our request. Amen".
Prayer to the Matrona for the rapid conception of a child
There is another prayer that helps to get pregnant with a child in the near future. You can pray to Matrona in any Orthodox church where the relics of this Holy or her face are present.
We turn to Matrona with these words:
“Oh, our Blessed Matronushka, standing with her soul in heaven before the Lord’s throne, resting on the earth with her relics, and endowed with grace from Above, radiating all kinds of miracles. Look with Your condescending gaze at me who have sinned more than once, in sorrows, illnesses and various temptations of the Unclean. Comfort my exhausted prayers, help me heal from a terrible illness, deliver me from my misfortune, which is eating me up from the inside. Let me feel, as a woman, the happiness of a mother who has a son or daughter.

Don't leave me alone with my problem. I hope and lament for your help and our Most High, I place hope in your heavenly power. I appeal to the Merciful Matrona. Amen".
Appeal to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help in conceiving a child
People, in order to become happy parents, often turn to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help, in the hope of his pardon and miraculous power. After all, getting pregnant with a child is nothing but a miracle given from Heaven by the Lord God himself.
To bring the moment of conception closer, you need to come to the temple and pray to the Lord, asking him for a Blessing. And only when you turn to God, you can stand in front of the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and read this prayer:
“Oh, our good shepherd and God-wise mentor, Saint Nicholas of God. Listen to our prayers, hear us sinners, turning to Your face and asking for a miracle. We call on You for help, Christ's Servant, help us become happy parents, give us a daughter or son, healthy and kind, like You. Do not refuse those who ask You for Blessings. Let the mother feel the troubles of parenting. Help heal from the worst disease. Saint Nicholas, Divine Servant, pray to the Lord for us. Amen".
Prayer to Matrona to get pregnant with a girl
Many families, at the stage of planning a baby, want to become pregnant with a child of a certain gender. According to statistics, most of the representatives of the stronger sex want a girl to be born to them. And if the spouse agrees with her lover in this desire, then she wonders how to get pregnant with a prayer with a girl. From time immemorial, in order for the life of her own sex to be born in the womb, it was necessary to pray to the Holy Matrona.
So, before going to bed, a woman should put on pinkish-red underwear, spread a blanket in the same color and try not to get up until the first sun rays. In the morning we wash ourselves with pink soap and drink pink liquid - fresh juice, decoction of berries, etc. Then say this prayer:
“Matronushka the Great Martyr, Strong in Soul. I pay attention to your Heavenly gaze. You, who help all those who suffer and protect all those in need, help me in solving an urgent problem. I ask the Almighty through You, cling with prayers to Him for me and ask Him to have mercy on me and my sinful soul. I ask that I (my name) give birth to a new life, a healthy and good-natured daughter. You helped many to become happy parents of their daughter, so help me, no matter what I would be. I am a sinner before You, but I complain about Your mercy and indulgence. Be a miracle giver for us. Amen".

We, like others who live with Your mercy with faith and sincere feelings for You, turn to prayers for help. Complain about our souls to the Lord Almighty, ask him for mercy and indulgence towards us. May he grant us, the servants of God, about the child so desired, the new life of your sex. Ask from Your side, Alexander, peace for our family union and consent. Amen".

The prayer looks like this:

Oh, Blessed Matrona, I trust in Your mercy, but I pray for indulgence. Do not leave me with my misfortune, help me become healthier. And I will ask you and I will ask other Servants of God for help. Have mercy on us and bless us for a healthy continuation of our human race. Amen".
We wish you good health, happiness and family well-being!
No matter how businesslike and strong a woman did not consider herself, it does not always happen as it was intended. A wonderful fairy tale of a cloudless happy life, a husband and children - and the inability to get 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. Come to Icon 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 miraculous 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 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, 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"

The temple will advise prayers for pregnant women. Having opened the text, do not be surprised that it is written in the Old Slavonic font. Read with your heart. Listen to yourself. Has your soul responded, filled with music, light and tenderness? If difficult, ask for a modern version.
“Holy Mother of God, please have mercy on me, Your servant (name). Come to my aid during the danger and illness with which the children of the daughter of Eve are born. 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 of the Mother of God in front of the Kazan icon
Every church has a priest. Feel free to ask: which icon to turn to with your problems. The prayer during pregnancy of the Kazan Mother of God is short, but try to feel every word:

Amen."

Prayer to the Holy Blessed Matrona of Moscow
The laity, far from churching, naively believe: there were saints before, but there is no miracle. The Matrona of Moscow helped during her lifetime, and she is helping now. Ranked among the Saints in 1998, she grants a miracle to those who despair of becoming pregnant - conception. 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. Become spiritually higher and purer.
“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 situations, 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 with 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."
Icon of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow
When a woman is expecting a baby, the whole world kneels before her. She is the source of life. Beautiful on her own. Accept this state. Wish your baby good health. Stroke your growing tummy, sending waves of love to the little miracle. No matter what problems you have to face - you can handle it.
Pregnancy and the birth of a child is a real miracle and an incomparable period in a woman’s life in terms of the depth of emotions. Most expectant mothers consider the period of waiting for a baby the happiest in their lives, especially if the pregnancy is long-awaited and desired. However, along with the joy of the upcoming motherhood, fears also come at the same time, which are facilitated and added fuel to the fire by all kinds of publicly available, often frightening information on the Internet. And if there is still really a reason for unrest - how to cope with fear and panic? The birth of a new life is God's gift, therefore, in addition to complete trust in the attending physician and compliance with all his prescriptions for a believing future mother, there is no doubt that you need to rely on God's help.
Everything is the will of the Lord, and we do not know His providence for us, but it is not in vain that there is such a proverb: “A mother’s prayer will get it from the bottom of the sea.” It's no secret that sincere prayer works wonders. And besides everything else, when the expectant mother prays and lives a spiritual life, then the baby in her womb is spiritually strengthened by this prayer, as if praying with her. One of the greatest Orthodox confessors - Theophan the Recluse - says that while a child is in the womb, from the very moment of his conception, everything that happens to the mother happens to him, because they are one whole, one life, and everything that the mother experiences, is transmitted to the baby through physical, mental and spiritual channels. During this period, it is especially important for the expectant mother to visit the temple of God as often as possible in order to participate in the Sacraments of confession and communion, or at least just put a candle and pray at the icons. It is possible and necessary to pray both at home and in any other place, but church prayer incomparably higher than the home, cell, because church churches are places of the special presence of God.
To whom should a pregnant woman pray? Usually, future mothers ask for help and intercession from the Most Holy Theotokos, because only a mother can fully understand the feelings of a mother. Holy Mother of God is the greatest saint, She is the Mother of God and is always close to Her Divine Son, Her prayers for us have a special power. Although we must not forget that the holy fathers teach us: it does not matter to which saint or icon of which saint our prayer will be addressed, because only the Lord can fulfill what is asked, only He is the giver of all blessings, and we ask the saints and the Most Holy Theotokos only to intercede for us before God, prayerfully help us, as we ask friends to intercede for us before the boss. In addition, we must remember that according to Orthodox teaching, we do not worship an icon, i.e. not on a board and paints, but on the prototype that is depicted on the icon, and these are completely different concepts.
Prayer is the greatest, priceless gift of the Creator, through it we can talk with God, as with a father (after all, we are all His children). And you can complain to the Father, and cry, and ask, but only sincerely, from the heart, and He will definitely hear. And it does not matter how the future mother will indulge in prayer: in her own words or according to the prayer book, the most important thing is that the prayer be alive, sincere and warm, with faith and trust in God's help.
What prayers to read during pregnancy?
Prayer in your own words can be something like this:
Most merciful Lord, hear my humble prayer, forgive me, Lord, all my sins, voluntary and involuntary, known and unknown, and by Your inexhaustible mercy, grant me, Your sinful servant (name), bear the fruit of my womb and be resolved from the burden safely and on time established by You ... Do not leave me, Lord, hear my prayer, but may Your will be done, now and forever and forever and ever, Amen.

Prayer to the Lord

Your wisdom is limitless. Whom You wish, You will save unscathed through Your Angel from every misfortune. Therefore, I, the Merciful Father, commit myself in my sorrow into Your hands and pray that You look at me with the 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 heart and serve with a joyful spirit. I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send a prosperous outcome ... Hear, Merciful God, the prayer of Your 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 reigns for eternity.
