Thank you for bringing me here, as I continue my nursing education to become a labor & delivery nurse.
I had a miscarriage last year and had been desperately trying again a few months later. By chance I came across a book telling about you as a patron of motherhood and I have been praying to you ever since. A few months later, much earlier I dared hope, I conceived again and I am now almost 9 weeks pregnant. I continue to pray to u for a safe pregnancy, a healthy baby and eventually a safe delivery. Thanks again
Dear St. Gerard,
It's been five long years since me and my loving husband have been trying to conceive a baby. Please pray to our good lord on behalf of us. Please pray that the fertility treatments will be successful and that we will be blessed with a healthy beautiful baby soon. Thank you St. Gerard for your intercession.
I've just realised that my prayer of thanks is not on this site. You heard each prayer over my pregnancy, you prayed with me to our Good Lord Jesus. And in March my little boy arrived, healthy and gorgeous! Praise God. Thank you for your prayers o St Gerard!
St Gerard, my dear friend has lost many little angels from her womb. God has chosen to bless her with another pregnancy and she and her husband are so excited. But she is bleeding and they can't figure out why. Please, please implore our Heavenly Father to protect this little life within her. She is already an amazing mother and will be again if she can carry to term. Speak to Jesus and remind Him of her Faith in His Divine Will. If it be His will, let her carry a healthy baby into the world. Please pray with us, Dearest Jesus hear our prayers brought to you through St Gerard. You will be done

O Most Blessed Trinity, I your unworthy creature, thank you for all the gifts and privileges which you have granted to Saint Gerard, especially for those virtues with which you have adorned him on earth and the glory which you impart to him in heaven.
Accomplish your work, O Lord, for the greater glory of the Holy Church.
Glorify him before men and women and through his merits, in union with those of Jesus and Mary, grant me the grace for which I ask that at our ultrasound today the technician and doctor do not find the suspected echogenic spot on our daughter's bowels and that no other complications be identified.
And you, my powerful intercessor St. Gerard, always so ready to help those who have recourse to you, pray also for me.
Prostrate yourself before the throne of Divine Mercy and please do not leave it without being heard.
To you I confide this important and urgent affair.
Graciously take my cause in hand and let me not end this novena without having experienced in some way the effects of your intercession.
Amen.

Dear St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before God I pray to you that my husband and I can get pregnant have a healthy baby. We've had two miscarriages and were told my multiple doctors there would never be another. We have been given a "third chance" and we are waiting the results of a pregnancy. We want a healthy baby to love and bring into this world to share in this wonderful life more than anything. I need you to walk with me, and comfort me to a beautiful place of peace and belief. We believe it is possible and we want this third chance to be our baby the gift of life! Please watch over us and protect us. Thank you, Amen
