Question:
Peace and Blessing!
Baruch hashem My wife is pregnant and would give birth to a son when the date of birth falls on Shabbat, and the question is whether we should pray that we should not give birth on shabbat, in order to prevent desecration of the Sabbath, or is there no prevention?
Answer:
It is not necessary to pray that you will not give birth on shabbat, but it is appropriate to pray that if you give birth on shabbat, they will not desecrate the Sabbath with things that are not necessary at all, and who is greater than King David, who was born and died on holy Sabbath, and even Moses died on shabbat.
My blessing from The Depth of my heart, you will have a good and successful birth and you will see nachat from all of You’re children.
