Suitable Buddhist scriptures during pregnancy include: "The Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", "The Universal Door of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva" and "The Original Vow of Medicine Buddha, Liuli Light Tathagata"
《Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva:
“If in the future life, in Jambudvipa, there are new births in the Ksary, Brahmins, elders, lay people, all people, and races of the opposite sex, there are new births, males or females, within seven days, you will read and recite this incredible scripture early, and even recite the name of the Bodhisattva, which can be ten thousand times. If you are a newborn son, a man or a woman, you will be rewarded with disasters and will be liberated, be happy and easy to raise, and your life span will increase.If you are blessed and reborn, you will be able to increase happiness and live a lifespan.”
《The Universal Door Chapter of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the Lotus Sutra:
“If there is a woman who wants to seek men and worship and offer sacrifices to Guanyin Bodhisattva, she will be born with a man of blessings and wisdom. If there is a woman who wants to seek women, she will be born with a correct and beautiful daughter, and will be born with a foundation of virtue and respect them all.With endless meaning, Guanyin Bodhisattva has such power. If there are sentient beings who respectfully worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, they will not give up their blessings. Therefore, all sentient beings should uphold the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva.”
《Sutra of the Original Vow of Medicine Buddha, Liuli Light Tathagata's "Merits of the Original Vow":

All sufferings will be eliminated.The son born. Have enough identity. The shape and color are correct. Those who see are happy.Ligan is smart. Anyin has few diseases. No one takes away his essence.”
1、All Buddhist scriptures have infinite merits, and reading Buddhist scriptures during pregnancy is not limited to these Buddhist scriptures.Which sutra to read specifically, whether to read one or multiple books together, can be entirely based on personal fate, and there is no difference between its interests and merits.The "Ksitigarbha Sutra" is the sutra that can help children eliminate karma. It is recommended that you read it every day during pregnancy. If you can't learn the "Universal Door Chapter" for a while, you can recite the "Universal Door Chapter" every day for a short time. It is easier for expectant mothers who have not studied Buddhism to start. Then gradually start reading the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" during pregnancy, and you can read it at least once a day within 7 days after the baby is born.
2、During pregnancy, you can recite the holy names of Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva or Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva anytime and anywhere, or silently.There is no distinction between the holy names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The key is to recite the holy names and sutras with sincerity!
3、During pregnancy, you can also recite the "Rules for Disciples" and listen to some Buddhist songs (here you recommend Qi Yu's Heart Sutra, Guanyin Bodhisattva's verses, confessional texts, universal verses, great compassion mantras and other Buddhist songs to teach your baby prenatal education is also very good.
4、During pregnancy, you should also do more good deeds. It is best to help print Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, release animals, etc., and dedicate the merits of doing good to the baby, the baby's enemies, relatives and creditors (that is, sentient beings who have made grudges in the past lives) and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm to eliminate karma and accumulate blessings for the baby.
5、It is also a great merit to be able to eat vegetarian food during pregnancy. It can eliminate disasters and accumulate blessings for the baby, yourself and your family.If it is difficult to eat vegetarian food, you can also eat it on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar (10th day of the lunar calendar: 1st, 8th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 29th, and 30th), but do not kill animals during pregnancy and after childbirth, as it is of no benefit to the mother and son!
1. How to dedicate the merits to the baby after reading the scriptures?
The following version is for your reference. The key is sincerity and you can say your blessings to your baby!
（Palm) Disciple ________，May this merit be dedicated to the newborn (Last birth )，Relying on the power of the Bodhisattva, all sins will be eliminated, and you will increase your blessings, longevity and wisdom, and your appearance will be beautiful and solemn. Everything will be fulfilled and you will be able to achieve the greatest good roots.
disciple _____，Pray _____The Bodhisattva is merciful and merciful and the Buddha's power is added to the bible (recite three times)!
2. Special recommendation---How to use the Djidaka Sutra to cultivate blessings for the fetus:
1、First, before you become pregnant, read the Ksitigarbha Sutra, pray to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for blessings, and give a son with both blessings and wisdom.
2、During pregnancy, it is best for both parents to read the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" at least three times a day or recite the "Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" to dedicate the merits to the fetus and him. /Her enemies, relatives and creditors, and relatives of all generations of sects have been separated from suffering and happiness and are reborn in the Pure Land.This will eliminate the fetus' karma and the child will have great blessings in the future.
3、When a woman is pregnant, whether it is a male or female, the fetus will change every seven days. If she can read and recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra for the fetus and recite Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ten thousand times on behalf of the fetus, she can destroy the sins of the fetus in the previous life.The fetus changes every seven days, and the divine power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva makes the fetus look more correct. After birth, it will be safe and easy to nourish, and be healthy and long-lived.If this baby is originally blessed, the merits of reciting scriptures and reciting the name of the Bodhisattva will increase the blessings and increase the longevity.
For children, the stage that is easy to change their destiny is to help them eliminate karma during pregnancy before they grow up.After birth, it is fixed, so he has to rely on Buddhism to do it himself, and to do a lot of good deeds and release animals to practice, which is very difficult.
It is easier to change your destiny during pregnancy.Similarly, it is easier to change one's destiny within 49 days after death.
Therefore, it is recommended that both parents read and recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra for their children during pregnancy.
After birth, you don’t have to dedicate it to your children, but to your enemies, relatives, creditors, and clan relatives of all generations.
