I’m looking for saints dealing with motherhood, pregnancy, and babies. It seems like there are a couple, a St. Margaret, St. Gianna,  and St. Raymond Nonnatus. Is there a fast way to look up any others or a good resource specifically on these sort of patron saints?

If you don’t know a resource hut know if a saint worth adding to my list, feel free to drop me a saint name as well.

Thanks Phatmassers.:amen:

St Zelie Martin. St. Elizabeth Anne Seton probably. Sts. Perpetua and Felicity.  I’m sure there’s more in Pray for Us by Megan Hunter Kilmer but I don’t have it with me enough to look it up.

St. Anne is the patron saint of pregnant women. Other pregnant saints include Our Lady, Monica, Elizabeth of Hungary, Jane Frances de Chantal, Frances of Rome, and Bridget of Sweden. St. Catherine of Siena was never pregnant, but she was the youngest of 25 children and only one was adopted. St. Luke was a doctor who might've treated pregnant women.

Scripture mentions women who conceived after long periods of infertility:

Sarah

Rebekah

Rachel

Hannah

Elizabeth

Samson's mother. (The text doesn't name her.)
