A co-worker of mine went through infertility about 5 years ago. The doctors told them they would never have children. They now have a beautiful 4 year old girl. They attribute this to the following prayer that they said every morning and every evening. St. Gerard is known as "The Mother's Saint"
Prayer for Motherhood
O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and Wonder worker of our day, I call upon thee and seek thy aid. Thou who on earth didst always fulfill God's design help me to do the Holly Will of God. Beseech the Master of Life, from Whom all paternity proceedeth to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of His glory in the world to come. Amen.
this was most definitely a random act of kindness. I've never met his wife and she went to the store and bought me a beautiful prayer card and booklet about St. Gerard. He then informed me that when I did get pregnant she had a card for me that is for a safe and healthy pregnancy and deliver.

My Mother said this prayer when she was pregnant at the age of 44 with my little brother (who's 16 now). She named my brother Sean Gerard.

My dad's friend sent me that card right before I did my IVF and it worked, now I carry it in my wallet. That was so nice of that woman.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
