asking for prayers for us women going through pregnancy in general, especially us who are suffering from depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts.

Please pray for me. I am 21 years old, married for 2 years, and expecting our first baby. (24 weeks and its a GIRL!) i am over the moon and feel so blessed to have this precious life growing inside of me. Though, i am terrified of getting postpartum depression. I have freaked myself out that i will possibly have thoughts of harming my baby if i do get postpartum depression. i have made the mistake of googling this topic, and reading peoples stories. I know i am going to be a good mom, i have been a nanny for infants for 3 years, so i know what its like to have a baby around and how to take care of them. And most of all i have Jesus on my side! So i know i will be okay, yet i cant shake the fear of ever wanting to hurt my child. Its so bad that im not looking forward to bringing her home, witch really I’M excited about. I am sure its just hormones, and i am in therapy and on meds to help already. I hope i am doing everything i can, and if anyone has been through this please message me, i would love to talk to someone.

So please pray for all mothers and mothers to be, who are going though ppd or fear the depression.

Thanks to all and GOD BLESS
Maddie
 
Father we thank you for your marvellous gift;
you have allowed us to share in your divine parenthood.
During this time of waiting,
we ask you to protect and nurture
these first mysterious stirrings of life.
May our child come safely into the light of the world
and to the new birth of baptism.

Mother of God,
we entrust our child to your loving heart.

Amen.

**All loving God, you created the human family as a reflection of your own divine life so that your creation might share in your happiness. Hear our prayer for your daughter who awaits the birth of her child. She has cooperated with you in giving life. Assist her now as she prepares to give birth to the child in her womb. May Mary be her guide and support, calming her fears and strengthening her love. May your daughter be filled with your peace and blessing so that she may bring her child into this world safely and in good health to the praise and glory of your name. Amen.

PRAYER FOR
EXPECTANT MOTHERS

**O God our Father, through the Blessed Virgin Mary you have glorified motherhood in the virgin birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and You have raised up as an example to wives and mothers Your servant, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Grant me, I pray You, the grace to imitate her by accepting as Your charge and as an heir to heaven the child that is to be born of me. Bless, dear Lord, this coming event with safety both to my child and to myself. I also pray that the noble life of Mother Seton may always be a model to mothers. The prayer so often on her lips will be always mine. With all my heart I repeat it: “May the most high, the most just and the most holy Will of God be praised, adored and loved.” Amen.

Heavenly Father, Creator of all things, you have been pleased to enable my husband and me to collaborate with you in conceiving a child. Thank you for your gracious gift. Help me to guard this new life carefully and do nothing to hurt it in any way.

After my child’s birth, let me lavish him/her with love and bring him/her up in your love and service, so that he/she will become a child of yours and inherit your kingdom.

**Be with me, O Lord, in this greatest of tasks to comfort, strengthen, calm and enlighten me. Amen

**Loving Jesus please bless and protect pregnant mothers before and after birth.
Help them to be mothers in the image of Your own beloved Mother.
Keep them strong and loving, gentle and wise, from the child’s conception and throughout their lives.

Lord, bless Maddie and all mothers who are expecting. Help them to place all of their trust in you and grant them safe pregnancies. May Maddie focus on loving you and loving her baby and not allow herself to think about PPD. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
