FTMs and Mother's Day

raebee18 · February 2014

I was just wondering for FTMs are you planning on celebrating Mother's day even if your baby hasn't arrived yet? My due date is so close to mother's day I know it could go either way and personally I feel like a mother but I know a lot of men who would disagree. I just figure by that time if my baby isn't born we'll be celebrating no matter what because I'd be so huge and grumpy my husband wouldn't dare cross me!

If DH plans something then sure, why not? I think May 11 is Mother's Day - I'm due May 10 so we'll see

SurprisePartySue · February 2014

I'm the last one on my husband's side that didn't have kids. So I always got "feeling sorry for you" Mother's Day gifts. Lol. But my baby is due the day after Mother's Day so I imagine either 1 we will be in the hospital or 2 we will be celebrating like she's already here.

awc1986 · February 2014

Mother's Day is celebrated in march over here, so I can't even keep my fingers crossed. Considering my mum and my dad's mum died last year and my DH's died in 2001, were gonna save a fortune on cards and flowers.

Cupcakes89 · February 2014

DH said the other day he would like to get a birthstone necklace for me with emerald for LO. If that counts as celebrating it..?

MamaPiers · February 2014

I am so excited to celebrate Mothers Day this year! I'm scheduled May 1 and can't wait:) I think all of us are mommies even if the baby comes a little after Mother's Day it's still fun to celebrate the new life growing inside of you!

gutsysneakers · February 2014

I'm not due to May 21 and damn right we're celebrating Mother's Day. Whether or not baby is here yet - I'm still a Mom. I will have carried Squish for 9+ months at that point. Bring on the presents and brunch!

yvanehtnioj · February 2014

I'm due 5/26 and I'll still celebrate. Just something simple, like the movies or going out to breakfast and picking up something cute for the baby.

momo214 · February 2014

I'm also 5/26. My hubs asked about if he's supposed to celebrate me and I told him heck yes!!! He's so not romantic but I know his mom will be up his rear telling him what to do. Last year my coworker was pregnant on Mother's Day and got flowers from her sweet husband. The guys here all flipped out saying she wasnt yet a mom. Pshhh. I disagree!!

sheriot · February 2014

Due 5/8. I hope I'm holding my baby on Mother's Day. If so, I'll be drinking mimosas and having brunch, nursing, and napping all day. Woo Mother's Day!

sparklingdiamond · February 2014

I am not sure if we are doing anything. I am due the 14th, so who knows if he will be here yet or not!

annabeanybee · February 2014

I celebrated Mother's Day when I was pregnant with DS, and he wasn't born until September. I say go for it!

jsaffer01 · February 2014

My husband doesn't think about things like that... So I'm hoping he will think to do something for me. I'm due the 14th, and my husband's cousin guessed I'll have the baby on the 11th. So that would be fun if that was the truth.

Lauren1102 · February 2014

I'm due on Mother's Day. So I doubt it. Maybe if Brooke comes early hubby will do something, but who knows.

Honestly holding Brooke would be a great Mother's Day gift, but it would be nice if my husband just did a little something, even if it was getting me a card.

Ladiebug710 · February 2014

I demanded that DH take me out to breakfast when I was pregnant with DS. I didn't expect a gift or anything, but I at least wanted to so something to acknowledge the day.

deanna1313 · February 2014

I was recently thinking about how my DH will get his first Father's Day and I won't have my first Mother's Day. My due date is May 21st.
Oh well! No big deal. I normally see my Mom at my grandparents house on Mother's Day so I figure my DH will spend some time with his Mom while I'm with mine. I'm not worrying about myself this year. It would have been cool though.

whimsy515 · February 2014

My DH says he wants to do something, but my BDay is May 15, plus Mother's Day, plus baby's arrival. It's a pretty busy month!

MrsT2008 · February 2014

When I was pregnant with DD, I did not celebrate MD for myself. I would have felt weird. I was only about 10 weeks though so maybe I would have felt differently if I was almost done.

FunSizeGrl · February 2014

I'm due on mother's day

So I will either being sleeping and eating in preparation for her arrival, possibly in labor, maybe even holding our new little girl!

LUCKY22 · February 2014

You should definitely celebrate! And if you don't think DH will think of it, TELL HIM! When I was PG with DS, my DH didn't even mention Mother's Day. I was really hurt. Even his mom and sister got me Mother's Day cards. To be honest a little part of me (admitingly irrationally) still resents that Mother's Day. I think sometimes men aren't as sentimenal about these things as we are - make sure your DH spoils you!

Pinkinboca · February 2014

I'm also due on Mothers Day

I can't think of a better present than to have my little girl with me! Hopefully I don't go past my due date. I know hubby is planning a pretty big push present so I doubt I'll get anything extra for Mothers Day which is fine if I get to have my little family together. If I'm still preggo we'll probably do dinner or brunch.

lauralou3x3 · February 2014

I told my hubby (jokingly) that he better remember me on Mother's Day. He told me that if the baby isn't born yet then it doesn't count lol. So probably not. But I'm sure he will still do something little. In my mind, I was a mother the second I was KU!

kat8805 · February 2014

Celebrate it this year, whether baby is here or not. No way in hell does any DH deserve a father's day this year if you all don't get a mother's day. You've been harboring these somewhat hostile body snatchers for 6-7 months, it is so deserved to be celebrated as a mother whether baby is present or not.

CMDR513 · February 2014

13th- Our 8th Anniversary

12th- The RCS date

11th- Mother's Day

We will probably do something low key to get ready for the next morning!

With DS, we found out less than a week after Mother's Day that I was pregnant. MIL got DH a card/gift for that Father's Day.

Miles2Go · February 2014

We won't be doing anything even though I'm a STM, because as Dh explained last year (and the year before when dd was 2 days old for Mother's Day). "Yeah, you're a mother, but you're not MY mother."

But I'm not bitter about it, or anything.....

WTF. You ask him if his mom let's him touch her goodies too?

Sorry for his loss... but that's extremely douchey of him. We need to make a post-it for YH

@Miles2Go WTH? I think I would throw a drama queen fit if my DH told me that. I hope you get some celebration this year. You definitely deserve it.

Oh, fit was thrown. As well as public shaming to anyone who would listen.
I'm not expecting anything this year. He doesn't understand this sort of thing.

Team Mr. @miles2go - I said the same thin earlier. I am not H's mom. He can take me out to eat or cook or help LO make a card or whatever, but I think it's weird for my H to buy me a gift for Mother's Day.

Ok. Is your h romantic? He wants to take you out? We can trade.

hfooter · February 2014

I just told mine tonight I expect breakfast. He said ok. I'm easy to please if food is involved, pregnant or not.

Totally think that if DH doesn't do something for Mothers Day I'm going to "forget" about Fathers Day...just sayin.

DD's birthday! I didn't realize til now!

My due date for her was 25/05... so she surprised us by coming early. I remember waiting a long time for my husband to come back on the sunday... and it turns out he was buying a small mothers day gift. Totally unexpected. I was just so happy to have her safe and sound on the outside with only minor issues (weight and jaundice).

This time I'm due May 12-15 (conflicting dates) so we'll see if LO will be here or not.

babyaotw · February 2014

I'm due May 8th, so I could have a baby, be laboring, or trying to make myself go into labor. I'm not sure what DH will do this year, or if he'll remember. He has romantic moments, but he doesn't always remember things.

Cynthia6206 · February 2014

I'm due on Mother's Day but the odds of having him on my due date are slim n either way prob won't do much unless the fiancé does something for me.

Lild09 · February 2014

Due May 7th...if I haven't delivered yet you bet I expect a very yummy meal at least...hey, gotta keep my strength for delivery right?! Also I think it's totally ok for DH to get Mother's Day gifts for his wife...hello that's the mother of your children; one very important lady in all husbands lives!

This is exactly what I did on my first Mother's Day and it can never be topped!

WTF. That is really mean of him. I'm sorry.

kristine526 · February 2014

Due 5/1 and my OB said he wouldn't let me go more than a week past my due date, so I'll either be holding squish, or resting up in the hospital. You bet your ass we're celebrating! His family is the "we don't celebrate anything" kind and mine is the "we celebrate everything" kind, so he's been around long enough that he should know. I've been a mom since those two lines popped up in August and I'd be celebrating whether this body snatcher was here or not!
