If you are pregnant do you count as a 'mother' as in 'being fussed over for mother's day by dp'....

... or does it not count until baby is born?

(shamelessly hoping for a bacon buttie in bed)

Was out shopping at the weekend. Knowing how rubbish my Dp is at this stuff I made him get his own mum a card. I did say that next year it's up to him to get me one! I don't hold out much hope... But given that he brings me plenty of tea and biscuits in bed and other nice real life stuff I can let it go (assuming I don't turn into a hormonal mess when this baby is born!!!)!

Oooohhhh yes you do.... And dh only stops buying/ helping/ giving the money to cards once dc have their own money ( pocket or hard earned).

My ds (13yo) is mowing the neighbours garden to earn for my present ( a mug and a card)....
We are giving him money to buy a gift to his nana ( she is his sweetie mummy , as he calls her)

I never get a fuss on any special days be it mother's day, valentine's day, wedding anniversaries, birthdays or whatever :(

This is because my husband firmly believes a wife/girlfriend should be treated like royalty every day. I get bacon butties brought to me every Saturday morning, and Sunday lunch cooked every weekend, and random flowers and chocs and other nice stuff. I'm so lucky. :)

I gave birth a week early on Mother's Day last year, and the impressively organised baby managed to get me a card! (via my parents. DH had been a little busy...)

[SourSweets]

Pfft, yes! Growing a baby is hard. My husband's making dinner for his mum, his sister who is also a mum, his niece who is also a mum and me, a mum-to-be. It's the least he can do, ha.

[Portofino]

No. Imho it is the KIDS who should do the spoiling on Mother's Day so you have to wait til they are bigger.

[Tabbykat]

I think you should, but be careful what you wish for....DH bought me a present for mother's day when I was pregnant - a pot of stretchmark cream. Huh!

[cyclecamper]

I'm planning to continue my mother's tradition of not celebrating mother's day, so no.

[elliejjtiny]

I can't remember if my DH did anything on mothers day when I was pregnant with my PFB. I remember getting breakfast in bed the day after the first BFP though. I think mothers day means more when the children are older though. DS1 made me a card and laminated bookmark at school when he was 4 which was more special than a card and chocolates bought by DH when DS1 was younger. We don't do fathers day because DH thinks it's too commercialised so I make a big fuss of him at easter instead.

[Nagoo]

I cleverly squeezed mine out just before mother's day, so I don't know.

I reckon I would cajole DH into getting me a bacon sandwich though, for sure :o

It's much better when they are old enough to make you a present :)

[knittingirl]

Dh said to me yesterday, do you know it'll be your first mother's day next weekend? I'll be 16 weeks :)

It also happens to be his birthday on the same day though, so think he might be wanting to get spoilt!

Before having a baby with sleepless nights and the romance going out of the relationship () there is NO REASON in my opinion to not get a bacon butty in bed (and it doesn't even have to be mother's day).
