So, I am 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby (one in Heaven). Since I’ve given birth two times thus far I feel like labor should feel like no big deal, but I am having trouble quieting my anxieties about the whole ordeal. I remember very vividly the pain of childbirth, so I feel very fearful about experiencing it again.

I am hoping for advice about remaining courageous in childbirth and how to pray through it. Maybe words of encouragement? Or just prayers that I can get this baby out healthy without too much trauma. TIA

Offering up Prayers to our Eternal and Gracious Heavenly Father for a smooth childbirth. Let her feel Your Presence and ease her anxieties. I humbly ask this now through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

✞ In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
 
God, Heavenly Father, I ask that Your Will may be done. Give to those for whom I prayed what You know to be best for their soul. Grant Ebastill her intentions.

Give us Your Holy Spirit to enlighten us, to correct us, and to guide us in our current situations.

God, Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ crucified, Your Divine Son, I beg You to grant us the grace to accept your holy Will.

Amen

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee
Blessed art thou among 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.

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.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread.

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

Dear God, give me courage,
for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats
and against their seductions.

I need courage to bear unkindness,
mockery, contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil,
against terrors and troubles, temptations,
attractions, darkness and false lights,
against tears, depression, and above all fear.

I need Your help, dear God.

Strengthen me with Your love and Your grace.

Console me with Your blessed Presence
and grant me the courage to persevere
until I am with You forever in heaven.

Amen.

Praying for your intentions.

Philippians 4:6-7 : Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
 
I am definitely praying that God Blesses you and your baby with strength, perseverance, peace of mind, great news, and great health throughout this process
