Several girls requested this post, so here it is! First of all, this post is not about anything religious; it is just a collection of little popular beliefs that some women enjoy and choose to try. Everyone has their beliefs, and they should be respected, right? The charms for getting pregnant are like those stories we’ve heard about as regional folklore. You know that saying: ‘Yo no creo en brujas, pero que existen, existen?’ Well, trying doesn’t hurt, after all, there’s nothing evil about it1.
They do no harm and, of course, there is no 100% guarantee that they work, but there are those who enjoy small rituals to make some aspects of life easier. Charms in general are like energies you send out into the universe, positive thoughts for wishes we deeply desire. So why not charms to get pregnant? Here are the most popular charms for getting pregnant, and for sure, any hopeful woman who loves something a little mystical and esoteric will enjoy them!
Charms to get pregnant – Cotton Baby Shoe
I confess, I have done this one myself! Back when I was trying, this was one of the most talked about among us girls. It’s easy and simple to do. Basically, you just need to receive a red wool baby shoe as a gift, or one in the color of the gender you wish for—pink for girls and blue for boys. There’s a special note: if you want double the joy, you can do this charm for twins. Use a pair of shoes for each baby you wish to have. As soon as the woman receives the shoes, she should fill them with cotton and keep them in her underwear drawer. When the baby arrives, she should use the shoes on the baby at least once, and after the 7th day, pass them on to another woman who wants to get pregnant.
Charms to get pregnant – Shoes with Sweets
In the same vein as the cotton baby shoes, there are the shoes with sweets. This one is supported by Saints Cosmas and Damian, famous for their protection of children. Instead of cotton, fill the shoes with sweets such as candies and lollipops, and buy the shoes according to the desired gender. On a Sunday afternoon, go to a park where children play and, with faith, ask for your baby as you tie the shoes to the most beautiful tree in the place.
Charms to get pregnant – Red Rose
The red rose should be without the stem, left out in the sun to dry, and after it dries, placed in a small cloth bag the color of the desired gender. Store it carefully in your bedroom or wherever the couple sleeps. Keep the rose there until you have the children you desire, then you can get rid of the rose by leaving it somewhere in nature, such as a field or garden.
Charms to get pregnant – Patron Saint in the Desired Month
Write your name and the month you want to get pregnant, and place it at the feet of your patron saint. Pray, give thanks, and ask every day for your much-desired baby.
Charms to get pregnant – Candles and Angels
To do this charm, the woman must know both her own guardian angel and her partner’s. On a Sunday night, wrap the two candles in honey and light them, offering them to your guardian angel. Light them on a white plate with a piece of cloth or diaper in the color of the desired sex. Blue cloth for boys or pink for girls, and keep the cloth under your pillow until you get pregnant.
We should remember that charms for getting pregnant are a little extra help; their effectiveness depends entirely on the faith of those who believe in these little spiritual rituals. I strongly recommend that if your attempts last more than a year, seek a doctor for tests to investigate what’s getting in the way of the pregnancy. I also have to say, nothing replaces a heartfelt prayer!
