to expect something for Mothering Sunday?

[WindUpPenguin]

Currently pregnant with my first child, due in August. DH's siblings have been texting planning gifts for his mum for Mothers' Day. I said, "Oooh, you'll have to get me some chocolates or something this year too!" He looked at me like I had three heads and I felt a bit silly and spoilt for suggesting it. Is it weird to expect a token gift/card on Mothering Sunday when you're a mum-to-be?

Sorry YABU, you’re not a mother yet and I find the whole ‘presents from baby in utero’ to be a bit odd. As you asked 🤷🏼‍♀️

Agree with Moonicorn

I agree with the PP. Your first mother's day will be next year with your baby.

Sorry at 3 ? months pregnant I can understand why he wouldn’t expect to get you anything for Mother’s Day. Definitely next year tho

You're not a mother yet. I'm with PP. YABU.

Yes it is. You're pregnant, not a mother yet.

Next year yes. This year no.

It might not have occurred to him but now you've suggested it I hope he does get you something x

I totally disagree with those saying you are not a mother yet. You became a parent as soon as the conception happened.

However, I do think expecting a mother's day gift at this point is a bit silly.
But then I'm not really bothered about mother's day anyway.

You are being silly. Enjoy your first Mother's Day next year.

No way, I would've considered this really crass and bad luck (I'm not even superstitious). Wait until next year.

It’s a bit silly to expect this but now he knows it’s not really an enormous task to ickworth up a box of chocs to make your pregnant wife happy!

You became a parent as soon as the conception happened.

I mean it’s semantics but of course you don’t. Otherwise women who take the morning after pill but have no kids are ‘mothers’ aren’t they?

That first mothers day holding your child is magical. Just wait

I appreciate it is very exciting but no, your first mothers day is post baby. And I say that as a mother to those I have held and the little ones I didn't get that far.

I’m not superstitious either but I would also consider it bad luck. There’s a reason people don’t announce pregnancies until 3 months.

have you had your 12 week scan yet o/p?

This.

Like a pp though I don't care about Mother's Day anyway.

I think men generally don’t think about little things like this 😂 but you’re not BU in suggesting it, hopefully he receives the message and gets a cute gift! No drama, no problems

congrats! 😊

No way would I want this until the baby was here. YABU

If it will make you happy I don’t see why he wouldn’t get you a bunch of flowers or chocolate

Awww yes as a token if you'd like something then yes. It's not uncommon, loads of baubles and Xmas decorations saying 'bump' on them and things like that for pregnant woman

Yeah, I think so. I think DH got me a "card from bump", which was a sweet thought, but I don't think I'd have been upset if he hadn't - and it'd have been weird to ask him to do it, it totally takes the meaning away.

Yabu. What an odd request to make, no wonder your DH looked at you like you were mad.

Sorry, but you are a bit U. You will enjoy your Mother's Day next year.
