Pregnancy is a life-changing moment in any woman’s life. There are so many thoughts that race through her mind and her body is also going through many changes. That is why I compiled these bible verses for pregnant woman.

I remember when I was pregnant, I was anxious; I worried about so many things. I would pray for a safe delivery and for the child to be born without complications. Any slight thing would worry me. And I constantly googled if it was normal for a pregnant woman to experience such.

To be pregnant is a blessing and it is the will of God that is why Genesis 1:28 says, “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.”

However because mankind sinned, God made the childbearing process painful. That is why Genesis 3:16 says, “To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.”

Here are some bible verses for pregnant woman to read when:

1. Feeling anxious – Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 
2. Feeling tired – Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
3. Experiencing pregnancy complications – Genesis 25:21-22: “… and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.”
4. It’s an unplanned pregnancy – Psalm 127:3 “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.”
5. Feeling sick – Isaiah 53:5 “… And by His stripes we are healed.”
6. Feeling labour pains – John 16:21 “A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world”
7. Praying for a healthy baby – Psalm 22:9-10 “Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.”
8. Having insomnia – Proverbs 3:24 “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.”
9. Afraid to miscarry – Exodus 23:26 – “and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.”
10. Received a bad report- Genesis 18:14 “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
