Celebrating Mother's Day while still pregnant?

[SpaceSharkTea]

Looking for opinions on whether you'd celebrate Mother's Day for a mum-to-be?

Would you go all out with a gift and a special day planned?

Just a card from the bump?

Nothing at all?

I wouldn’t, but each to their own, and all that.

No. Wait until next year

I had a card last year from my partner and my friend sent me one too. Might have had some chocolates too but I was craving chocolate so had it most days 😬😂

My DH gave me a Mum to be card when I was very heavily pregnant on Mother's Day with our first. I think he'd written something like 'I can't wait to meet you Mummy'.

I wasn't expecting it at all, but it was a lovely gesture

Wait till next year. It’ll be so special!

No definitely not.

I didn't as felt like tempting fate to me.

My first mother's day this year will be super special.

To each their own though

I think that is one of the weirder ideas I’ve heard this lifetime.

Depends on the gestation. But no I wouldn't want or expect anything!!

No way. Tempting fate, and majorly cringeworthy. Just wait until next year!

Get a card. I didn't and wished I had- after all, why not? You're actively serving as a life-support machine for your unborn baby, you're as much of a mother now as you ever will be.

I too would worry about tempting fate.

I wouldn't, because it would take the shine off your first real mother's day, when you actually are a mother and have a child in your arms.
Is that not a better first mother's day than celebrating a pregnancy?

Do what you want to though.

I didn't and I wouldn't. Wait until your baby is here and have a really special first mothers day.

I wouldn't personally but go for it if you'd like to.

I wouldn't either but plenty must do as their are cards for them bump' in the shops.

I'd think anyone organising a card from a bump had lost it.

No weird - pre emptive and will take the specialness off the real first one. I still remember mine I was feeding in the night and often used to take ds into the living room to do so. Dp had left a flowers, a cake and a card as a surprise which meant I sat breast feeding eating cake at 3 am 😂

It's a no from me

I actually think it's a lovely idea and see why people would do it.

But ... and I can't believe I'm writing this... I too would be scared of tempting fate. Pathetic eh?

But who cares what randomers on the internet think. If it makes you happy or cheers you up during these trying times, go for it!

Sounds odd to me. I didn't call myself a mother when I was pregnant, I was a mother to be.

I was a bit put out that DD was overdue and arrived after Mother's Day (due 4 days before). Not that I would have celebrated much with a tiny newborn!
