Lord God,
you made us out of nothing
and redeemed us by the precious Blood of your only Son.
Preserve the work of your hands,
and defend both me and the tender fruit of my womb
from all perils and evils.
I beg of you, for myself,
your grace, protection, and a happy delivery.
Sanctify my child
and make this child yours forever.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen
