Did you or didnt you celebrate Mothers Day while you were pregnant???
I am just curious as to what everyone thinks!!! I would LOVE to celebrate mothers day but DF says no because I am technically not a mum yet but I think I should because I am carrying around this baby and therefor I am a mother-to-be!! I told him that it is not fair and that we are not going to do anything for Fathers Day. LOL
So did you or didnt you??
hi veronica - with my 1st i wasn't pregnant at that time, but maybe if you wait until you have your bub in your arms next year, it might make it all the more special. (although i don't see why you can't shout yourself a mother's day gift now :))
We did with DH's family, MIL got me a few gifts too.. was so sweet i cried!!!
Last year I was pregnant with Shaun when Mothers Day came around - and I insisted I get a mothers day present - and told him exactly what I wanted - pink vibrating slippers. I think he got me a card too. But if I didn't force him to do it, DH wouldn't have done anything.
our family doesn't make a big deal out of mother's and father's day in general, but i would like my DH to say "Happy Mothers Day" to me to acknowledge that i'm a mother now... i think that we definitely classify as mothers! just because our children are still inside us, it's not as if we haven't made any sacrifices for them yet (eg. giving up alcohol and our tight, toned tummies!!).
i'm not going to say a word to my DH and will wait and see if he says anything...
i know when my sister was PG it was fathers day so i sent her DH a text message saying "Happy Fathers Day" and my sister told me how touched he was by it!
Not a mother yet???? Ummm what's that thing in your belly right now LOL!!
I wasn't pregnant over Mother's Day, but I was on Father's Day & Aaron absolutely got a present - the book, "So You're Going to be a Dad".
Yep we did. Marc bought me a miniature rose bush and I think we went out for lunch. I also got presents from other relatives. But we'd also celebrate fathers day too.
*hugs*

Was only 14wks pg when mother's day came around....still got a couple of smses from fam and even a few people wished me happy mother's day which felt really special as my thoughts were that I really was a mummy already coz I now had the responsibility of growing our baby so he/she came out h&h.
Didn't do the gift thing tho, but really didn't feel like I needed to :) But then, the following year when I had a bubby sitting on my lap chewing my first mother's day card - that really was truly truly spesh!!! ;)
We had fathers day while I was pregnant. I think I was only about 12-13 weeks. I got hubby something but I dont remember what. LOL Sarah, I got that same book for my hubby as well when I found out I was pregnant. Mothers day didnt happen when I was pregnant so we obvisouly didnt celebrate it.
yep i got my present early hehe :) i got a white gold necklace with the babies birth stone in it (saphire) for mothers day i think u are a mother now... still have to look out for the babies best interests don't u!!!
hmmm, i have been having this debate with DH for a while. And no im not getting a pressie unless bubs shows up before the 13th!
Mmm me too - this little one better make an appearance by then!!!
I would have loved to get something but i didnt :( DP got something for Fathers day! cant wait to see wat i get this year
LOL Sarah - love that comment!! Maybe they think we have a pillow up our shirt or something???:
See, I dont want a gift or anything (but would be nice!!) I would just like DF to acknowledge that it is mothers day and that I am a mother. And going out for dinner would be nice, so I dont need to cook!!
Noni - I love the idea of getting a necklace with your baby's birth stone. I might look for something like that for when I give birth.
Juz said he needs a year to get enough money to buy me a present, I sure hope he is joking, to have Noah out of me will be present enough though :D
In the UK mothers day's the last sunday in March. Last year my Due date was march 22nd, Mothers day was March 26th and DD came on April 1st. DP said "you're not really a mum yet" and ignored it, even though i expressed a wish to celebrate it (was hard too as only the 2nd mothers day since i lost my own mum). Sadly this level of denial (about him being a dad, rather than me being a mum) remained even after the baby was born, which is one of the reasons i left him.
My friend (and birth partner a few days later) got me a card from her and the bump which made me cry.
Not a mum?? So does that mean you don't have a baby inside you it's something else?? I reackon go for it! :)
OH OF COURSE YOU SHOULD ;)
When i was preg with Ella Paul bought me a Mother's Day pressie (a big bathrobe like the ones you get in hotels :D)....but he's always been sweet and bought me MD gifts even from the pets. One year i got a huge bunch of flowers with a card saying "I ruve rou MUM!!! From Rock" (our dog). I still have the card :)
You are already a mum the second that egg implants as far as i'm concerned so you're at least entitled to a card (there are expecting mother's cards too).
we sort of did.. My husband bought me a lovely frame which now holds our favourite wedding photo. I also recieved a mother to be card
I was at a friends house last night and she has a 4 yo girl. She turned to me and said bummer about me not being a mum for mothers day!! So I had this arguement with her, that I am mum, I am an expecting mum and that I am going to celebrate it this year. She said that I cant cause I am not a mum yet! She was pg with her daughter at mothers day and I think she is a little bitter that he partner didnt do anything.
I had this chat with DF last night and he said that we will celebrate mothers day for me. I was thinking of going out for dinner, but they always hike up the prices on days like that. So a box of chocies will be good enough :)
Yes, we did before I had ds. But I alwys got mothers day presents from our two dogs!:D
Have had mothers day all three pregnancies. Lap up some breakfast in bed, and relaxation!!
HAPPY MOTHER2BE DAY!!!
of course!! and fathers day, and we also bought Christmas presents for buba while in the womb!
I was quite preg by mothers day last year, and DH bought me a gift from the baby, I thought it was sweet, and I think by that stage of my pregnancy it was really important for me that he acknowledged that I was a mother, which meant he was acknowledging he was going to be a father!
Yep, I got a pair of slippers to take to hospital for my first Mothers (to be) Day. I was also proposed to, and got an engagement ring too. :D
I didn't get anything, DH says I'm not a mother yet. I didn't want anything, I thought the same thing. My dad called me to say happy mothers day to be. I appreciated but didn't appreciate it all in the same go. I'm quite happy to celebrate mothers day when i have my bub in my arms!
My partner wasn't sure whether he should get me anything or not, so he asked people at work. His boss, Heather, told him not to get me anything (***** :p) but most of his customers said I did deserve something. I just thought a card and maybe some chocolate or something would be nice. Instead, he ended up getting me the first season of Medium on dvd. :D
I think we do deserve to celebrate mother's day. We're carrying the child, feeding it, looking after ourselves in order to look after it and we'll be going through a lot of pain very soon!
I was pregnant for my first mothers day. I ended up getting a Happy Meal for mothers day, lol. I had a real cheeseburger thing. lol.

When i was preg with DS he was due in August so i missed out by a couple of months but DH got to celebrate fathers day so i told him i wanted a present cause i was doing all the hard work so he bought me a footspa...(which was heaven) and a too cute mother to be card lol.
This year was really hard as my mum passed away on the 1st May and i couldnt bear to go out and see all the people being happy with their mums... so DH took DS and myself out for lunch and a later we went to the movies. (the only difference was we celebrated on the saturday)
So i think you should get a lovely card at the very least
We didnt really celebrate it. My mum got me some slippers. Dh told me i could have my new car as my mothers day present (i got it a week early).
