Mother’s Day

Hi all, quick question.
How would you feel about not receiving a Mothers Day card from your partner when carrying your first child?

Honestly everybody is different. I personally wouldn’t mind not getting anything from my partner and he knows that. However just because some people aren’t fussed doesn’t mean you should excuse your feelings if you feel differently. In my eyes my unborn baby is my mother’s day gift and that is all I need from him. I hope this helped ☺️ just remember your feelings are valid no matter what you feel.

My wife and I didn’t get anything for each other when I was pregnant. But you have a right to feel however you do about it. Just know that they maybe haven’t thought of it? I’m a woman and I didn’t even think to do it. So he may not have got you one but not realised it was important to you. So you could always just explain how you are feeling and why it’s important to you (if he doesn’t get one) x

I didn’t get anything while pregnant with my daughter and I was fine with it but I suppose everyone is different☺️x

Depends on a person and your relationship. When I was pregnant with our first we didn’t celebrate or do anything and it didn’t cross my mind that I’d get a card cause I wasn’t a mum yet per se, we just had a joke along the lines of ‘ahh can celebrate next year’.

I'm more sensitive - being pregnant and having two dogs, I knew I'd be sad if the day passed as if I wasn't already a mother. So I made sure to hint to my husband that it was coming up. Your feelings are totally valid if you would want something acknowledged, or if you wouldn't care, but I think setting yourself up for success if you have expectations is the way to go

I didn’t receive anything last year when I was pregnant with my daughter but didn’t mind as it makes this year a little bit more special as it will be my first one after my she was born. My first “official”Mother’s Day. My baby was 1 last Sunday. But everyone is different

I wasn’t fussed for me as I didn’t know it was a thing haha.

Is he aware it means something to you? As I would say those cards are something quite “new” and when I was carrying my first a few years back didn’t even know they existed until I saw my friends in haha. And I don’t think many men would think about it.

Always worth speaking to him about it though if it’s upset you x

I didn’t get a card, but we went for a night away just to get out the house. I organised it. Would have been nice to get a little something but some blokes are realists and only see it when baby is here x

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
