Would you like these scriptures on convenient 3×5 cards?
You can purchase a set of 20 printable cards.
During my last few pregnancies, I have put together a bunch of scriptures that I can turn to easily to help me focus on my task at hand and to gain strength from the Lord. I just simply write them on 4×6 index cards so they are right at my fingertips. I keep these cards on my nightstand during pregnancy and I pack them in my hospital bag to have during labor and delivery.

my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Aren’t these scriptures so comforting and reassuring? They give me so much peace during my pregnancies and during my labor. Making the Lord the center of your pregnancy and labor makes a HUGE difference.
What scriptures do you turn to during pregnancy and birth?
It’s wonderful that you were able to look to God during childbirth. Only he can carry you through!
I love the pictures! Especially of your son with little Lauren! Congratulations!
Wonderful way to stay connected to the Lord! And that beautiful twin baby belly just brought back some serious memories of a year ago for me!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Going to add these to my Scripture Journal!!! 🙂
Sarah…God’s word is amazing! And your photos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this at WJIM.
I just gave birth with my third baby and those bible verses are also what I hold on to during my pregnancy, labor and delivery. Amen! truly those words of our God carried me through specially for having a low lying placenta, God made miracle for Me. Hello I’m Ann visiting from WifeMomPT, God bless!!
I LOVE this! I have been looking for verses to keep with me during labor as I am going to try natural labor and want to have something to focus on other than the pain. What better encouragement than scripture right? Thanks for sharing these and thanks for linking this post up with Mommy Moments! It was great having you:)

My pleasure Kristy! I hope they will be helpful to you during your labor and delivery.
Praying that your little one cooks for several more weeks!!

I just found this on Pinterest and it was exactly what I needed. Im 22 weeks pregnant and am waiting on test results to see if my baby boy has down syndrome because they found two markers for it and also that he might possibly need heart surgery after birth. My husband and I were devasted but now we are stronger because we have faith God has a plan and that our baby will be healed before birth. These verses we very encouraging. Thanks for posting!
I’m so glad you were encouraged by the post. I’m lifting you and your sweet baby up in prayer!
I’m so thankful for this post. I am 31 weeks pregnant with twin boys and boy is it getting hard here at the end. I wrote these scriptures down on index cards like you suggested so I can quickly reference them in my time of need. God is so good and I am so thankful for this double blessing He is bestowing on us! He will carry me through!
I’m 31 weeks as of yesterday, but I’m not having twins! This is my first, and I hadn’t even considered carrying Scripture into the delivery room with me. I was planning on creating an inspiration board, and now I can include some verses. Thanks for the idea! And congratulations to you and your beautiful family!
Thank you for this beautiful compilation of scriptures. I am pregnant with my 3rd daughter. I will continue to meditate upon these words.
I just came across this post! Thank you for posting them!
My husband and I just found out yesterday that we are expecting our first child! What a blessing from God! Thank you Jesus!
I’m wanting to start a journal to document all my experiences, and also have scriptures everywhere in the house and in the hospital when I’m giving birth … So thank you again, I felt so encouraged and at peace when I was reading all the scriptures …. Gods word is so good!
So glad to hear! I’m glad you found this post! And congratulations on your pregnancy!
Love your list. My personal favorite verse is Isaiah 40:11: He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
It reminds me that Jesus understands how hard it is. Although, there are times it doesn’t feel like He’s being very gentle!
Just came across this and I am so excited,it’s also my first time on your blog .I just compiled mine and expectant that God will take charge .I’m due tomorrow and pray the little one comes without delay .Join me in prayers and God bless you!
