10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy

by Angela Thayer 69 Comments

I love babies…but to be really honest, I don’t love being pregnant. I wish I could say I did. I know many woman who feel their best while they are pregnant. But that’s not me. I am always really sick for the first 20 weeks, then I get heartburn, feel very uncomfortable, and really don’t feel like myself. Then there is the labor part. Not really looking forward to that! So pregnancy tends to be a stretching time for me. As I was having a rough day recently, I decided to go through Scripture and meditate on God‘s word. I was so encouraged and wanted to share with you my favorite verses to read and memorize while being pregnant.

10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy

This first verse is actually one of my life verses. I love to pray over this one all the time.

You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal. -Isaiah 26:3

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. -1 Peter 5:7

10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. -Philippians 4:13

This verse is used everywhere for babies…but I still love it. I love to think about being knit together in my mother’s womb. God is amazing!

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. -Psalm 139:13-14

10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy

The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The Lord is near to all who call on him. To all who call on him in truth. -Psalm 145:17-18

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 upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. – Psalm 22:9-10

10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy
It’s easy to be overwhelmed in pregnancy. And sometimes we get overwhelmed by bad news during pregnancy. I love to meditate on this verse and to remind myself to always set my eyes on Him so that my heart is secure.

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. -Psalm 112:7

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. -Colassians 3:1-2

10 Bible Verses for Pregnancy

I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. -Psalm 16:8, 11

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ‘s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ‘s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. -2 Corinthians 12:8-10

I pray these verses encourage your heart today! Blessings to you!

    Ang, I loved this post. I even bookmarked one of them on my phone to pray over my girls 🙂
    I love the Word – always directs our hearts back to the Lord and reminds us why we walk these roads we walk that aren’t always easy.
    Thinking of you and your littles today! Also, I love that baby wrap you had! Looks comfy.

    Hi. I once dug up about 210 bible verses related to pregnancy, or at least children, joy, parenting, etc. for a book “For the Next Nine Months: Meditations for Everyday of Pregnancy” (Zondervan, 1982). It begins about month #3. If you think that wasn’t fun, it was a challenge! Anyway, your title caught my eye. I just became a grandma last fall, with one born the end of Sept. and one the end of Nov. Best wishes on #3 for you!

    Thank you for these scriptures…I’m pregnant with our 3rd child, which we didn’t expect so quickly since #2 is 9 months old. Our oldest is 4 and very active! This has been a very challenging first trimester since I have had no energy & work full time. I have a very supportive husband and extremely blessed with him by my side. Today I sought out prayer at my church and had to take the day off from work because I just melted and needed some me time to cry and release all the stress I’ve bottled up these past 2 months. I googled bible verses during pregnancy, and you link popped up. I have seen lots of these verses time and again in my life, but at this moment, there is so much truth and meaning behind each of these. Thank you for sharing with the world how God helped you overcome pregnancy obstacles. You have truly been a blessing for me. God bless u.

      Congrats on your 3rd child! I can understand that you would feel overwhelmed. 🙂 So happy to hear these verses encouraged your hearts. Lord, I pray that you would bless this sweet woman’s pregnancy. Take away feelings of fear and doubt, and encourage her heart. May this sweet baby be an amazing blessing to their family. In Your name we pray. Amen.

    Hello,
    I want to thank you for taking the time to share these bible versus with us. I just found out we are pregnant with our 3rd child today. My heart is both happy and heavy. My two oldest boys have autism. My heart breaks to think that Iif I have another boy he may also have autism, there’s a 30% chance. There is a lower risk of this baby is a girl… My husband has 3 daughters from a previous relationship and they are typical peers. My heart tells me my baby will be perfect and to put my trust in the Lord. I don’t want to have any doubt in my heart and I cry. Thank you again for sharing these versus, they remind me that God is listening and he loves me.

      I wonder in all those eight years how much you have grown in your trust in God. That you are still struggling together with Him is a marvellous encouragement for many of us and a proof of your loyalty. As Jacob struggled with the Angel of the Lord and had victory, your too have already received a great reward. I am praying for you!!

    Thank you and God bless you for the verses. I started my little notes with scriptures and prayer points on how I want my pregnancy and delivery to be (smooth, beautiful, no complications, etc…) and Thank You points on what God has done at each stage. I didn’t have a very good first pregnancy, now I have faith and making sure in prayer and meditation that the second one is going to be beautiful.

Waking up to little blood spots in the morning for the past 3 days. My heart has been heavy. Reading these scriptures has uplifted me. This season has taught me am nothing without God. Thank you for the scriptures. May God bless you.
