Prayer of an Expectant Mother

Lord Jesus, I lovingly pray for this sweet hope
that I keep within my womb.
You have granted me the immense gift
of a tiny little life,
living in my own life,
and I humbly thank you for choosing me
as an instrument of your love.
In this sweet waiting,
help me to live in a constant attitude
of self-surrender to your will.

Grant me a motherly heart that is pure,
steadfast and generous.
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 every peril to its soul.

Mary, you have known
the ineffable joy of a holy motherhood;
give me a heart that can transmit an ardent, living
faith.
Sanctify my waiting,
bless this joyful hope that is in me,
grant that the fruit of my womb
may open out in virtue
and in holiness through your working
with that of your divine Son.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

St. Gerard, pray for us!

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen*
 
Prayer for Expectant Mothers

Almighty God, we pray for every expectant mother, especially those who are having difficult pregnancies or who have been unable to conceive. Touch their wombs, dear Lord, and give them easy deliveries and healthy children. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Amen.
 
Dear friend, I too was once in your shoes. I struggled with infertility for many years and sought the aide of my priest and bishop to make sure that the attempts we were pursuing were ok with the church. We were able to conceive after many years of trying (including 12 months of approved fertility treatments) and have a beautiful teenaged daughter now. We tried again later but instead, God had in His plan for us a domestic adoption of our wonderful son. I learned the wonderful joy of having both pregnancy AND an adoption.

Do not lose hope. I don’t know where you are at this point. I prayed to the Blessed Mother daily and said many rosaries. I also prayed for intercession from St Therese and St Jude, and tried to say the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy often. I asked prayer on here and many other Catholic sites almost daily.

I will pray for you, and I hope that you are able to know the joy of motherhood.
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
