Prayer during the birth of a child. Prayer for a speedy delivery. The rule for reading prayers for help in childbirth

Almost every woman is afraid of childbirth: some remember the pain of previous contractions and pushing, others have heard from grandmothers, friends and neighbors how difficult it is to give birth. But, one way or another, absolutely everyone is preparing for this event and very different ways. Someone is looking for a good doctor and a maternity hospital, someone is learning about, someone is running around the shops, buying diapers, caps and a chest of drawers for the children's room... Without a doubt, all things are important. But the main thing in this bustle is not to forget about prayer.

A believing woman knows well that she cannot cope without God’s help. it does not leave her either in the days of preparation for conception, or during pregnancy, or during childbirth. Many may object: how can a woman giving birth pray during childbirth? After all, you need to think about contractions, attempts... The Holy Fathers teach that a person should pray every free minute. This also applies to a woman in labor during labor. Reading a prayer calms you down, and its power invisibly helps in the most difficult moments.

Spiritual preparation

You need to prepare for childbirth not only physically and psychologically, but also spiritually. What does it mean? A pregnant woman must definitely visit the temple before giving birth, attend services, confess and partake of the Mysteries of Christ. No matter how you carry your baby, birth can be unpredictable. And doctors are not always able to influence the outcome of childbirth. Only the Lord is all-merciful and all-powerful.

Just a few centuries ago, a woman in labor could not rely on anyone but God. Healing midwives did not approach a pregnant woman without praying. A lamp was burning in the corner in front of the icons, and all the relatives were sincerely praying. Today, people mainly rely on doctors, and only in extreme cases remember prayer. Few people believe in miracles these days. But they do happen. According to our faith it will be for us. There are many cases where prayer during childbirth worked miracles: severe labor pains subsided, those who could not be relieved of their burden were relieved, and even bleeding during childbirth stopped.

Who should I pray to?

Since ancient times, the tradition of praying during childbirth in front of the icons of the Mother of God “Helper in Childbirth”, “Leaping of the Baby”, “Feodorovskaya”, “Healer”, “Quick to Hear” has been passed down from generation to generation... And this is far from full list, because there are many miraculous icons in the Orthodox Church. But the main thing is not which icon to bow to in prayer, the main thing is sincere prayer. Close people should pray for the woman in labor. It’s good to order a prayer service in church these days, read akathists to the Mother of God and other saints.

First of all, in all sorrows we turn to the Mother of God. She hears us and helps. Due to her purity and holiness, the Most Holy Virgin gave birth to the Son of God painlessly. Having experienced human difficulties, she understands each of us.

During childbirth they also pray to the Holy Great Martyr Catherine, Xenia of St. Petersburg, and Anastasia the Pattern Maker. During difficult births, pray to the righteous Joachim and Anna, the parents of the Most Holy Theotokos, Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist. Both married couples were barren until their old age, but they did not lose faith and prayed incessantly until the Lord gave them a child.

Prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, born of the Eternal Father to the Son before the ages, and in the last days, by the good will and assistance of the Holy Spirit, deigned to be born of the Most Holy Virgin as a child, given birth and laid in a manger. The Lord Himself, who in the beginning created man and woman, bound him, giving them the commandment: Grow and multiply, and fill the earth; According to Your great mercy, have mercy on Your servant (name), who is preparing to give birth according to Your commandment. Forgive her voluntary and involuntary sins, by Thy grace grant her the strength to be safely relieved of her burden, keep her and the baby in health and well-being, protect me with Thy Angels and save her from the hostile action of evil spirits, and from all evil things. For You are a Good and Lover of Mankind, and we send glory to You, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos before Her Feodorovskaya Icon

Troparion, tone 4: With the coming of Your honorable icon, the Mother of God, the now joyful, God-protected city of Kostroma, like ancient Israel to the ark of the covenant, flows to the image of Your face and our God incarnate from You, and through Your Mother's intercession You ever intercede for everyone under The shade of Your shelter brings peace and great mercy to those who seek refuge.

Kontakion 1st: To the Exalted Voivode, the Most Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, our Intercessor and the shameless Intercessor of Christians, with the appearance of the wondrous icon we gave our joy to the land of Russia and to all the faithful children of the Church who enlightened us, we diligently offer thanks to You, the Mother of God, and falling upon your most wonderful image, we tenderly say. Save, O Lady, and have mercy on Your servants who call: Rejoice, Mother of God, our zealous Representative and Intercessor.

Prayer: To whom will I call, O Lady, to whom will I resort in my sorrow; to whom will I bring my tears and sighs, if not to You, Queen of Heaven and earth: who will pluck me from the mire of sins and iniquities, if not You, O Mother of the Belly, Intercessor and Refuge of the human race. Hear my groaning, comfort me and have mercy in my sorrow, protect me in troubles and misfortunes, deliver me from anger and sorrow, and all sorts of ailments and illnesses, from visible and invisible enemies, pacify the enmity of those who suffer me, so that I will be delivered from slander and human malice ; Likewise, free me from your flesh’s vile customs. Cover me under the canopy of Your mercy, so that I may find peace and joy and cleansing from sins. I commend myself to your Motherly intercession; give me Mother and hope, protection, and help, and intercession, joy and consolation, and a quick Helper in everything. Oh, wonderful Lady! Everyone flows to You, without Your all-powerful help does not leave; For this reason, even though I am unworthy, I come running to You, so that I may be delivered from sudden and cruel death, gnashing of teeth and eternal torment. I am worthy to receive the Kingdom of Heaven and to You in the tenderness of my heart the river: Rejoice, Mother of God, our zealous Representative and Intercessor, forever and ever. Amen.

Oh, Most Glorious Mother of God, have mercy on me, Your servant, and come to my aid during my illnesses and dangers, with which all poor daughters of Eve give birth to children. Remember, O Blessed One among women, with what joy and love You went hastily to the mountainous country to visit Your relative Elizabeth during her pregnancy, and what a wonderful effect Your gracious visit had on both mother and baby. And according to Your inexhaustible mercy, grant also to me, Your humble servant, to be freed from the burden safely; Grant me this grace, so that the child who now rests under my heart, having come to his senses, with a joyful leap, like the holy baby John, will worship the Divine Lord Savior, Who, out of love for us sinners, did not disdain to become a baby Himself. May the unspeakable joy with which Your virgin heart was filled at the sight of Your newborn Son and Lord, sweeten the sorrow that awaits me amidst the pains of birth. May the life of the world, my Savior, born of You, 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 numbered among the elect of God. Hear, O Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble prayer and look upon me, a poor sinner, with the eye of Your grace; do not shame my trust in Your great mercy and overshadow me. Helper of Christians, Healer of illnesses, may I also be honored to experience for myself that You are the Mother of mercy, and may I always glorify Your grace, which has never rejected the prayers of the poor and delivers all those who call on You in times of sorrow and illness. Amen.

It is not necessary to pray these exact prayers while standing in front of a specific icon. Pray “Our Father...”, say the Jesus Prayer, pray in your own words, asking for help in childbirth.

Remember, a woman’s salvation, according to God’s providence, lies in childbearing. Believe me, God will not leave us on the path to salvation!

Especially for- Tanya Kivezhdiy

This article contains: prayer during childbirth in brief - information taken from all over the world, the electronic network and spiritual people.

Pregnancy is the time to fulfill the commandment “Be fruitful and multiply”; it is the basis for the continuation of the human race on Earth. This is difficult but joyful work, and any work must be preceded by prayer.

At all times every Orthodox man He resorted to prayer constantly; he preceded any of his undertakings, any business with prayer. A person prays especially fervently and passionately when a task seems beyond his strength or threatens him with danger. The expectant mother, as well as her loved ones, need to resort to God’s help through a special means to alleviate hardships - prayer for help in childbirth.

For pregnant women, they usually pray to the Most Holy Virgin - the Mother of God, because no one else will help in the birth of a baby; they traditionally turn to her with a prayer for a safe delivery of pregnancy.

During pregnancy, for medical reasons, you cannot commit most of the actions that are considered sinful, but you need to strive for spiritual perfection - often pregnant women, under the pretext of hormonal mood swings, offend undeservedly close people.

This should not be done - pray for the gift of wisdom and always stop at the right time and ask for forgiveness from people dear to your heart who were hurt by your outburst of emotions.

After all, family well-being and peace of mind during pregnancy are more important than ever.

How to pray for a pregnant woman?

You need to pray while you have the opportunity; the entire pregnancy should be accompanied by prayer. The prayer book contains a special “Prayer of a Pregnant Woman”; it should be read after sleep, in the morning, and in the evening, after the hardships of a long day. If you didn’t find it there, you can download the prayer from the Internet and print it out.

In cases of difficult pregnancy - pray to God to preserve the pregnancy - this will help alleviate suffering and maintain the pregnancy in order to give birth to a healthy baby.

A father should pray no less, and perhaps even more than a mother, for a successful pregnancy and childbirth. Every day it is worth remembering the greatest miracle in which he became a participant by the grace of God, and every day asking God for help. There is a special prayer for childbirth, but it is not necessary to look for prayers on the Internet or books, you can ask in your own words, the main thing is that the prayer is sincere and comes from the heart.

The Mother of God is the helper and patroness of all pregnant women, and after the child is born, the mother can prayerfully accompany his growth and development in front of various icons of the Mother of God

The “Mammal” icon helps in the development breast milk, the “Education” icon will give wisdom and patience for raising children, and “Increasing intelligence” helps older children cope with their studies. You can ask the Mother of God for your deepest desires, so that the birth and upbringing of your daughter will be happiness, so that the Queen herself will be your assistant in difficult work.

But this will happen later, now the main thing is to be safely relieved of the burden - for a safe and speedy birth of the Mother of God they traditionally pray in front of her image “Helper in Childbirth”.

It should be remembered that the icon of the Mother of God is not a witchcraft amulet, and it must be treated with respect, but without giving it unusual functions and capabilities. She is a real helper, quick and sensitive to a sincere request, but one must respect her as the Mother of the Savior Himself, without in any way offending or hurting Her Dignity.

While a woman is giving birth, it will be useful for her loved ones to turn to God for help, reading a prayer for easy relief from the burden.

For some time after giving birth, a woman should not enter the temple - this is due to the canons of the church, she is given time to “purify”, because childbirth in the canons of the Church is associated with some kind of physiological defilement. Traditionally, a special cleansing prayer precedes the woman's return to the temple.

The rules by which the cleansing prayer is read are not generally accepted and depend on the specific temple and its minister. Usually the cleansing and blessing of a woman is carried out after the baby has been baptized - the mother is not present at the baptism, and immediately after the sacrament is performed, the priest blesses the mother to enter the temple. The only thing you should remember is that you should not enter the temple on your own after giving birth - the cleansing prayer is read by a priest, and you should not break this rule.

How should a person who asked for help feel after prayer? Prayer is not guaranteed to have the same effect that you put into it. The reason is that prayer is not only a time of request, but also a time of humility. He does not leave His mercy only to those who humbly resort to God’s help.

And if you are humble, then it is stupid to demand anything from God. This is precisely the key difference between prayer and magic. The magician is obsessed with pride, he calls himself free from everything, but the one who prays must sincerely ask, but rely on the will of the Lord.

Prayers for childbirth: comments

Comments - 2,

I had a very difficult first pregnancy. Doctors practically do not let me out of the hospital, fearing for the safety of the child and for me as well.

In the early stages they offered to have an abortion. But this pregnancy was the only ray of light in my life.

I have never been an ardent believer, but now I pray, I pray every day

and I ask your family to pray for, first of all, for the child

And my soul feels lighter and lighter

I believe that prayers read by a mother will help her daughter during childbirth.

Prayer before childbirth

Most women experience a terrible fear of childbirth, especially if it is their first child. Those who have had a difficult experience of painful contractions also worry about repeated pain. I want to prepare myself so that I can feel more confident. Some people intensively study information on the topic, while others ask for God’s help, never tired of praying to the Lord and realizing that they cannot cope any other way.

Believing young ladies pray both during preparation for conceiving a fetus, and when carrying a baby, and even directly during childbirth. The Holy Fathers say that it is necessary to turn to God constantly, every moment, every free minute. During contractions, prayer involuntarily calms and helps relieve pain.

Preparation for childbirth should include not only a physical, but also a spiritual aspect. That is, a pregnant woman should go to church before giving birth, attend a service, and confess.

Childbirth can be accompanied by unforeseen complications, and doctors are not omnipotent in all situations. Only God is omnipotent. According to our faith it will be for us. This is confirmed by numerous cases where prayer brought miracles. The unbearable pain subsided, and severe bleeding stopped.

Prayer before childbirth to the Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ our God, born of the Eternal Father to the Son before the ages and in the last days, by the good will and assistance of the Holy Spirit, He deigned to be born of the Most Holy Virgin as a child, given birth and laid in a manger, the Lord Himself, who in the beginning created man and yoked woman to him, having given them a commandment: grow and multiply and fill the earth, have mercy, according to Thy great mercy, on Thy servant (name) who is preparing to give birth according to Thy commandment. Forgive her voluntary and involuntary sins, by Thy grace grant her the strength to be safely relieved of her burden, keep this and the baby in health and well-being, protect them with Thy angels and save them from the hostile action of evil spirits, and from all evil things. Amen.

Prayer before childbirth to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Most Holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, who weighed the birth and nature of mother and child, have mercy on Thy servant (name) and help at this hour so that her burden may be resolved safely. O all-merciful Lady Theotokos, even though You did not require help in the birth of the Son of God, grant help to this Thy servant, who requires help, especially from You. Grant her blessings at this hour, and grant her the birth of a child and bring her into the light of this world at the right time and the gift of intelligent light in holy baptism with water and spirit. We fall down to you, Mother of the Most High God, praying: be merciful to this mother, the time has come for her to be a mother, and beg Christ our God, who has become incarnate from you, to strengthen her with His power from above. Amen.

How can an icon and prayers to the Mother of God help a pregnant woman?

How will the birth go, will everything be fine? Every woman thinks about this with excitement. Don’t be afraid, the prayer “Helper in Childbirth” will take you away from all fears. The intercessor of all Christians and all women is the Mother of God. People turn to her in any everyday difficulties, she prays and asks for all sinners, she is patient with mistakes, and she is also an assistant in childbirth. The Mother of God is a mother herself and it is she who needs to be prayed to throughout pregnancy, and especially as birth approaches.

Whoever asks will be given. How good it is for the soul of a believer! He feels the hand of the Lord everywhere, his support and his sign. If a person prays, then he experiences less anxiety and stress, he knows and believes that his prayers will be heard, and the Lord will not abandon him. By praying to the Mother of God, the person asking receives her support and her help.

How to pray to the Mother of God?

Having already learned about pregnancy, a woman must read a prayer for the child she carries under her heart, so that her pregnancy takes place under the protection of the Mother of God.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for children:

“O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, pray to my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Protection of Your servants. Mother of God, introduce me to the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your, Most Pure, heavenly protection. Amen".

Prayers of thanks can be read even during pregnancy. Don't all people have enough reasons to thank the Lord and the Mother of God? For pregnancy, for what we are already used to. Give thanks for the water, the sun, the sky, for admiring this world. We walk, we hear, we don’t go hungry. There are so many reasons to be grateful, we just sometimes forget about them.

Pregnancy itself is a great miracle and the Lord’s love for you. After all, the statistics on this issue today are not encouraging. How many couples have been dreaming for years, wanting to have a child, but cannot implement this main life plan. Over the years, a woman comes to understand that her most important mission, her purpose, is motherhood. Neither career, nor success, nor wealth can fill the heart as much as children's laughter and baby babble. Motherhood is a huge gift, they ask and pray to the Mother of God for it. With children comes a fullness of life, a lot of worries, but also a lot of joy. Children's love is unconditional; they love their parents because they are their parents. Who else could love you like that? They are defenseless, affectionate and expect the same love and affection in return. Here's what to think about during pregnancy. About the great joy that will enter your home. And earnestly pray to the Mother of God and our Lord, thank and ask for a calm birth and happy motherhood.

Spiritual preparation for childbirth

Visit the temple according to your strength (depending on how the pregnancy is progressing, if there is no toxicosis, dizziness, or weakness). You can sit in church, you don’t have to stand, because during pregnancy it’s physically difficult.

To prepare for childbirth in a Christian way is to confess and receive communion. If you have never done this, but have wanted to for a long time and still haven’t dared, this is a wonderful reason to dare to take this serious step. After all, we are all sinners, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent (even if it seems that there are no special sins). Open the book of preparation for confession, it lists the sins that a person may suffer from. You will be surprised how many of them can be attributed to you.

And after confession and communion there comes such lightness, inner purity and understanding that the child will be born without your sins. Keep this state longer, it would be better forever. But our earthly life forces us to sin (irritation, displeasure, melancholy, anger lie in wait for us at every step). Knowing that the Lord is inside you, it will be easier to resist and not allow into your soul everything bad and what is not from God.

Do good deeds (if possible and to the best of your ability). Think about who you can help and how. If you can’t financially, don’t worry. Help with a kind deed and support. Now so many people need to participate, you can show your attention, prepare an unexpected surprise, make a craft with your own hands, or just spend a couple of hours with a cup of tea. The main thing is a good intention and an open heart.

It is often said that with pregnancy a woman withdraws into herself. She no longer reacts so sharply to negative manifestations of the world around her, she is less upset by those things that she could not help but notice before. The Lord gives her such emotional protection. She is a vessel, she is a home for her child. Therefore, praying to the Mother of God, the Lord, she fills this house with prayer, love, kindness. The child feels everything inside her. The woman is calm and balanced. With prayer there will be no more impatience and irritation, which pregnant women experience during hormonal changes; prayer heals and calms. A child born in such an aura of faith will then himself become a believer and a worthy person. And this is the main dream of any mother.

Prayers during childbirth

You should definitely take the icon of the Mother of God with you to the maternity hospital. Pray all the time, as soon as the contractions subside, may the icon always be with you. She will protect you from bad things and will definitely help you get rid of the burden. Many women noticed the help of the Mother of God if the icon was with them. Either the baby suddenly turned around and took the desired position for childbirth, then the pain subsided. The main thing is to believe and pray fervently, from the soul, from the heart.

Prayer before the icon of the Mother of God “Helper in Childbirth”:

“Most Holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, who weighed the birth and nature of mother and child, have mercy on Thy servant (name), and help in this hour, that her burden may be resolved safely. O All-Merciful Lady Theotokos, even though You did not require help in the birth of the Son of God, grant help to this Thy servant, who requires help, especially from You. Grant her blessings at this hour, and give birth to a child like her and bring her into the light of this world; grant her, at the right time, intelligent light in Holy Baptism with water and spirit. We fall down before you, Mother of the Most High God, praying: Be merciful to this mother, the time has come for her to be a mother, and beg Christ our God, who has become incarnate from You, to strengthen us with His power from above. For His power is blessed and glorified, with His Beginningless Father, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

A short prayer to Our Lady:

“Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, full of grace Mary, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you have given birth to the Savior of our souls.”

The Mother of God is kind and cordial, she will help you in this and any other good deed. Don't forget to ask and don't forget to thank. Be kind, attentive, pray in Russian, Old Church Slavonic and any other language. May the Lord protect you.

The prayer on your daughter’s birthday is especially powerful. It allows you to reliably protect your child from sorrows and troubles for the whole year. Before the prayer, which should be said at home, you should definitely visit the temple, where you need to light a candle for the health of your daughter.

The birth of a baby is a true gift of fate. However, the expectant mother does not forget for a minute that a great test awaits her ahead, as well as terrible pain. That is why many rely on God's help. Prayer before childbirth will give you confidence and strength at a crucial moment, and fear will certainly leave you if you put all your faith into prayer.

The meaning of prayer before childbirth

It is believed that a believing Orthodox Christian woman should turn to God not only during childbirth, but also before conceiving a child, during the period of gestation. The more often you call on God's help in prayer, the calmer and more confident you will feel. It is very important to remember prayer during childbirth. If you read a prayer in the midst of contractions, it will become a little easier - the pain will calm down.

For a long time, Orthodox Christian women have offered prayers to the Holy Mother of God before childbirth. She is considered the patroness of mothers and their children. If desired, close people of a woman giving birth can gather in a church or at home in front of the image of the Mother of God, and then read together a prayer for a successful outcome of the birth and the birth of a healthy, strong baby.

Such a religious text is primarily pronounced in order to provide assistance to the woman in labor. In more detail, it is read for the following purposes:

to relieve severe pain;
to relieve difficult, protracted labor;
in order to eliminate complications that arise during difficult contractions;
to relieve heavy bleeding if it begins during childbirth;
to rid the baby of a pathology that doctors could diagnose even at early stages pregnancy.

Interestingly, prayer addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos helps not only pregnant or giving birth women. It can also be pronounced if a woman is unable to become pregnant and bear a child.

Even if you are infertile, you should not give up. You need to seek help with such prayer and ask the Lord to give you a healthy child. However, you should not limit yourself to one sacred text. You are also encouraged to visit church, go to confession and receive communion. In this case, prayer will have much more power. When you are in church, first of all, buy three candles and place them near the image of the Virgin Mary. Then read “Our Father” and only after that ask the Mother of God for health for your unborn child.

Do not forget that you need to turn to the Mother of God throughout your entire pregnancy, and not just during childbirth. In this case, you will feel much calmer, and you won’t worry so much about the successful completion of the birth. You can read the prayer book not only to the Mother of God, but also to other saints:

Great Martyr Catherine;
Xenia of Petersburg;
Anastasia the Pattern Maker.

If the doctors have informed you that you need to prepare yourself for a rather difficult birth, it is best to read a prayer to Joachim and Anna. This couple could not have a child for a very long time, but they prayed to the Lord so fervently and for a long time that they were given a child.
