Duas to recite while pregnant

Question

Now I am pregnant for 2 months. I have 2 daughters now alhamdulillah. Now I like to have a baby boy. I know it is from Allah's blessings only, nothing one can do, but if there is any surahs or Duas to recite, would you please let me know? Jazakaallahu Khaira.

Answer

Respected Sister in Islam Wa alaykum salaam warahmatullah So long as you are happy with what Allah SWT blesses you with, and you strive to fulfill the rights of both, sons and daughters equally, there is no harm in reciting Duas. First and foremost you have to be punctual in your faraaid (obligatory) actions, especially Salaah. After every Salaah you may read the dua of Zakariyya A.S "Rabbi hab lee mil ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah. Innaka sameeud dua" (Soorah Aale Imraan) Further you may recite "Yaa Awwalu" 40 times for a duration of 40 days. May Allah SWT grant you a healthy and pious child, Aamin.

And Allah knows best.
