So my 1st time was while I was pregnant I didn't know what to feel, I was confused since I wasn't a mom yet but was pregnant so I did thank everyone but I was very confused since I wasn't one but at the same time becoming one .

You are a mum as soon as you find out you are having a baby. I found it weird, but nice ☺️
@Rachel I didn't know how to feel other then off weird and confused cuase I didn't have a baby just pregnant it just to me didn't seem right

I’m just here to say that “Expecting” moms are moms too & Moms who loose their babies are moms too. So it was very appropriate for people to wish u a happy Mother’s Day when u ur pregnant, even tho u weren’t expecting it cuz pregnant women are mothers too!
On Mother’s Day my heart usually goes out to grieving mothers the most! I like to wish those women a Happy Mother’s Day 🫶🏾

My baby was a day old on my first Mother’s Day I loved it 🥹
@Katrina I was about 17 weeks along not even showing , I wasn't showing till I was 33 weeks along
@Jasmin that is ture but to me it doesn't sit right 100% like it isn't mom yet but preparing to be mom if that makes sense

Haha I was hinting for weeks to my partner to get me a card and that. And he got one from the bump.
It was lovely but still doesn’t seem real haha 😂
Nearly 24 weeks!
@Helen I still don't believe I'm a mom , and my son 5 months old 😭🥹 it feel like yesterday he was just born

I have a 3 year old and I am still confused when I hear it lol I don’t feel very ✨mom✨

You are a mom the second you are pregnant! Just because you havent given birth yet doesn't make you less of a mom because youre still creating another human and even if you never give birth but have been pregnant, you experience a loss that is unimaginable 💔 You loved that little peanut too, right? I know that during my pregnancy i spent the whome time researching and preparing for my son to arrive and thats what parents do
to me if feels off to be told while 17 weeks along I just felt like I was preparing to become a mom if that makes sense

I was pregnant during my first Mother’s Day and everyone around me felt it wasn’t necessary to tell me happy Mother’s Day except for my sweet husband. He went out of his way to get me flowers a card and my favorite ice cream then spent half the day with me relaxing in bed watching my favorite tv shows before he went to his parents house to spend a few hours with his mom.

My son is 1.5 and today was the first time I was told happy Mother’s Day. As much as I appreciated it, it’s broke my heart a little bit because my mum said it to me and I forgot that this is a day for me now aswell. I had spent so much time arranging stuff for my mum and grandma that I forgot I was a mum too.

I was already a spiritual mum/Godmum to some kids in my life so it came naturally saying Happy Mday when I wasn’t a mum yet. Lots of women out there aren’t necessarily Mums but great Aunties and mother figures to young ones. I was already “mothering” before I had my own babies

OP I hope u had a good 1st Mother’s Day (UK) & congratulations. Cheers! ALL mothers need to be celebrated that is the point of Mother’s Day :)
