Mother’s Day while pregnant

Yeah, I'm in the same situation, will be 8 months pregnant with our first on Mother's Day. I was lucky though, we were watching tv and Mother's Day came up on a commercial, and my husband said "it's your first Mother's Day this year!". So it's totally normal to at least think about, when we discussed it, we landed on that we both feel like parents already, and that I'm putting a lot of physical work into growing our child. I personally don't think you have to be able to hold your child in your arms to be a mom, but it's kinda subjective

I think it depends on the person but last year I was pregnant during Mother’s Day and went to dinner with my mom, other family members and my now husband. We didn’t do any gifts or anything just dinner it was something small but I loved it.

I asked mine if he wanted to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s Day this year since we’re in the same situation (due August with our first child). He said he doesn’t want to celebrate Father’s Day because he’s not a father and when I said I feel similar about Mother’s Day, he disagreed with me. Because he thinks I’m more of a mother already than he is a father which does make sense. I know he’s going to cook for me but I don’t know if I should be expecting anything more than that. He doesn’t even get his mother gifts on the holidays.

I’m in the UK so Mother’s Day here has passed already, and I’m currently pregnant and don’t have other kids. And I told my husband I personally didn’t expect anything as I don’t feel like a “mother” yet lol I think it’s just preference really! He still told me happy Mother’s Day etc but we didn’t do anything special for it

I think it would be a great idea to give you supplements that’s will encourage your journey as a mother. Examples: a mom charm bracelet and some flowers, a candle lit dinner, or bring you to a Mother’s Day event to honor you.

I was pregnant with my first last Mother’s Day. I was given flowers and told happy Mother’s Day

Everyone around my boyfriend told him he needs to get ready for Mother's day so I didn't even get the question. He said I totally forgot about Mother's day but the girls at work all reminded me. I'm giving him something for Father's day as well. 😊

I'm in the UK so mother's day has already passed I'm currently still pregnant (dew 29th of may) and i had to remind my other half that mother's day was coming up to get his mum something or at least say happy mothers day I never actually put any thought into mother's day for me and no one asked me if I wanted anything for it actually my other half still forgot to get his mum something for it lol honesty I never minded or thought about it for myself but afterwards seeing people talk about it when there pregnant and getting stuff or being told happy mothers day has kinda made me feel like maybe I should have gotten something or been told happy mother's day tho there's always next year I suppose lol x

I think he should ABSOLUTELY do something for you considering you are a mother/ about to be. That response would make me feel a way, because why wouldn’t he think of doing something special for you. Tbh he should have never asked that question are you expecting anything 😒How I see things I always expect my partner to at least try but I prepare myself for disappointment if any should occur. Just because you didn’t put much thought into it doesn’t mean he shouldn’t.

My husband has already given me gifts and I said wait til Mother’s Day and he said there will be more. Ladies make sure you find the right one. I don’t even care about gifts. I just love him.

I think it would be nice to at least get one of those cards that says it’s from the bump. Having said that don’t feel like you need to get something because others do. There’s a reason you weren’t fussed to begin with. But having said that, you’re allowed to change your mind. 😘 When I was pregnant Mother’s Day fell before my 12-week scan so I didn’t feel comfortable getting something. Everyone’s different. There’s no right or wrong.

Had this conversation with my fiance with our first kid. I didn't think it was a big deal because I'm still carrying, but he's like, no, I'm taking you out to eat, and I'm getting you your first Mother's Day cards.

My personal opinion on it is that whether you push out a baby on may 12th or august 29th, you are still going to have to push that baby out and you will be a mother. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to celebrate Mother’s Day while you’re pregnant

@Monique wtf he doesn’t even get his mom gifts on Mother’s Day? That’s insane

I think it's personal preference. My husband bought me a card when I was pregnant (son born about 3 weeks later) but I didn't expect anything else as I didn't quite feel like a mum yet. I was surprised he even did that because he isn't as sentimental as I am so I appreciated the thought. If you want more, tell him that. I preferred celebrating my first one with my son

Men are so simple 😂 and I don’t mean that in like an insult to his intelligence i mean they are just like cut in dry unless he over thinks a lot, so I wouldn’t over think it when it comes to him. But it’s person to person I got gifts from family and my partner for Mother’s Day while I was pregnant with my first some people feel you’re already a mom. I was grateful but like you I wasn’t expecting anything I think it’s a person to person type of scenario

Granted, I was about 2 months pregnant last Mother’s Day and I asked my husband if he was planning something (nice dinner) and he said no, because I wasn’t a mother yet. Absolutely his prerogative. I was planning to do something for him for Father’s Day and then didn’t end up doing anything (not out of spite, but based on how he was defining our respective mother- and fatherhoods.) All that to say, totally up to your personal preferences!

Well. If he asked and you said you didn't wqnt to celebrate, why should you celebrate ? He asked because some pregnant women wants to celebrate and others prefer to wait for the baby to be deliver. Depends on every women.

My boyfriend insisted that he get me something for Mother’s Day. “No negotiations” was his exact response when I told him he didn’t need to get me anything this year lol however, we plan on spending the day with my mom cause I told him I’d rather spend time with her than focus on me for the day

I was pregnant for both mothers and fathers day and me and my partner did a little thing for each other. I think if you're pregnant you should definitely be celebrated on mothers day because even if that baby isn't here yet you're still it's mother, you're still caring for them and literally giving your blood sweat and tears to keep them alive lol

I kinda wanna be celebrated on Mother’s Day but I feel like I’m asking for something I shouldn’t be expecting to get yet since I’m basically a mother to be but at the same time I think anyone who lost a baby should still be celebrated on Mother’s Day even tho they never actually held or took care of the baby my boyfriend has another child from a previous relationship so of course I’m celebrating him on Father’s Day so it’s really a hard topic for me idk what to do about that day at all

Uk here my partner bought me a ‘from bump’ Mother’s Day card and some flowers. I think it depends on the person but if you think you are missing out you should talk to him about it sooner rather than later so you’re not disappointed on the day🤗 each to their own kinda thing for sure x

My hubby and I discussed and we said we won't do anything huge for mothers or fathers day this year (I'm due in Sept). I told him if he was feeling like doing something I would appreciate extra compliments since I feel like trash and us setting aside some time to work on the nursery. That's what makes sense for us 💕

Just because your baby isn’t physically here yet doesn’t mean you’re not a mother yet, you became a mother the second you found out you were pregnant. I would honestly be hurt because what type of question even is that to ask :( OF COURSE you would want something it’s Mother’s Day and well you ARE A MOM!!! I swear sometimes men can be so dumb founded. I’m sorry :(

I just did with my husband ur a mother ur about to give birth and after 1 month being pregnant ur a mom, we have 2 kids rn even just a happy mother's day if he don't tell u or no one's does HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MAMA
