Dua for Safe Childbirth and Mother's Recovery

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, I ask You with the asking of the wretched, the needy, and I call upon You with the call of the one in distress. I plead to You with the plea of one who has erred and is in danger, that You do not let my enemies rejoice over me, nor make my relatives hate me. Do not distance me from You, nor deprive me of Your mercy. Do not entrust me to anyone other than my trust in You. Do not grant me a share in my affair that leads to my ruin. Ward off harm from me, and grant me well-being in myself, my family, and my wealth. Do not let anyone who has no mercy upon me gain power over me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful. O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. I have placed my trust in You, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Whatever Allah wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. There is no might nor power except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. I know that Allah is capable of all things, and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge. O Allah, I ask You by Your Greatest Name, that when You are called by it, You answer, and when You are asked by it, You give. I ask You to ease the burden for [mention her name] and make her childbirth easy, and grant her and her son (or daughter) good health, and make them both safe, victorious, complete, without any deficiency, thriving. And make this a means for the forgiveness of our sins, and answer our supplication. Indeed, You are capable of all things, worthy of answering, and aware of kindness. You are sufficient for us, and the best Disposer of affairs. There is no might nor power except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.
