I wouldn’t think too much of it…you haven’t had the baby and he’s a man so he probably doesn’t think he’s supposed to yet

I’m sure he didn’t mean anything by it. You should’ve told him that it would’ve been nice to at least hear it. Men don’t think about things like we do and they sure ain’t mind readers lol

I have 3 ‘grown’ children(over 30) and 3 grandchildren. All live locally. I received one acknowledgement of Mothers Day.
You’re pregnant with his child… point blank you’re a mother. You change everything you do to protect this baby already

Lol I’m getting a kick out of these comments. Heck ya! He should of. Growing a baby is hard work, it’s physically and mentally exhausting. I’m very lucky, he celebrates me in so many little ways each day being pregnant. Also, if you wanted him to celebrate you for Mother’s Day it’s an easy solution to ask him. I did and we went to Starbucks and got three awesome drinks we shared. Plus, I got all the kisses. Just ask. They can’t read our mind. Everyone is special, Mother’s Day and all celebrations give us a day to bring people up and the world needs as much of that as possible.

Even though you are very much a mother, he may not have seen you in that way yet, men think different…I think you should forgive him but express to him how you feel 
. Happy Mother’s Day

I got a rose from my daughter and that’s it. But I’m thankful for that at least. Mother’s day always suck. Some men look at it as your not their mother so it isn’t their responsibility…to me if the child isn’t old enough then it is their responsibility
You are not his mother…dont sweat it…when time is right. Your kids will remember you.

I would have been upset too. You are a mother, just still growing the baby until it is big enough to be born. You feel the baby all the time. I would have said something to him just to wake him up and let him know you deserved to be acknowledged as a mother. It is your first Mother’s Day and deserve some recognition for it. A hug and a Happy Mother’s Day would probably have been enough to make you feel appreciated. In fact, I would still say something at this point to let him know.

Im sorry for you. I too did not receive recognition fo mothers day for several years. Why? Because i married a man child. I wasnt HIS mother so why recognize me. Proceed with caution. It may be easier to start over new than wait for man child to man up. Learn to recognize narcicistic behaviour so you dont l8ve your life under it before learning better.

Many people don’t acknowledge a baby in utero as a person…. Look @ the state of America now, everyone wants the right to murder a fetus bc they don’t see it as a person. Maybe he doesn’t see it as a person thus not seeing you as a mother? Idk
I would just talk to him about how your feeling. He may not get it since the baby isn’t born yet but you are a mom so just talk to him!

It may not have registered with him because the baby hasn’t been born yet. Talk to him about it.
This is why my husband & I agreed not to do these commercial holidays. We don’t do mothers, fathers or Valentines Day. It’s too damn stressful & causes issues. Im so glad we made this decision it works best for us
I’d say something.
But that’s just me.
I don’t really care abt gifts but my husband usually grills me ribs and we play Jarts (pir standing game for Mother’s and Father’s Day. Lol) and generally just relax.
While men really don’t think about you being a mom… Speak up now bc if you don’t, it won’t change.

My man finally acknowledged Mother’s Day for me this year. Our son is almost 2. You’re not alone though he didn’t acknowledge me for Mother’s Day when I was pregnant with our son.
I would be upset but we are all different.I have six kids and he didn’t buy me a gift I just say oh well.At least my kids did
I have my husbands ONLY girl he has 3 boys previous relationship and I have a son. He didn’t tell me happy Mother’s Day either
I though it’s not a baby till it’s born tho??? Ain’t that what all the memes on Facebook are saying rn?
My oldest son hasn’t wished me happy mothers or bday. I’m sorry hunky. It’s Definitely crap. However happy mothers day.
Don’t acknowledge him for father’s day. If he brings it up, remind him about mothers day.

Your not his mother…
That’s pretty sad, sorry he didn’t acknowledge the day, because you are a mom while you are pregnant I don’t believe men become dads till the baby is born.
Why let it hurt you once the babies here he must probably will
Talk to him; he could feel you don’t need acknowledgment until the birth of your child
Some men are just like that and truth be told you are not HIS mother. I’m sure after the baby is born you will be recognized. There are far too many worse things to worry about, fight about etc in a marriage than this!

Don’t expect it. I’m thinking he is a momma’s boy and girl you are fighting a fight you will never win.
Nope you’re not wrong. Even though you haven’t given birth yet he still could have gotten you something, even just a card. But I would at least get him a father’s day card even if you have to adjust it to say father to be. Don’t be petty. Some guys just don’t even bother thi king the way we do, because logically you’re not a mother “yet”. That’s going going to be his reasoning.
Men aren’t aware they do cards etc “from the bump” unless prompted by their partner.
I wouldn’t let it get to you, it’s probably your hormones.
I’d say something if your child was born and this happened…
But seriously…you’re babies not here yet and you’re moaning🤦♀️

I have heard of husbands who only say Happy Mother’s Day to their moms; the wife isn’t HIS mother. You have two choices. On Father’s Day, you don’t acknowledge him or you go the other route and celebrate HIM becoming a father. Hint Hint. Only you know the best way to deal with your man. Good luck. BTW Happy Mother’s Day, Sweetie. YOU are a Mom. Enjoy it. AND… you can go out and buy yourself a gift. A big gift.

Being that your first time parents I understand that you’re upset but honestly he’s a MAN and it honestly probably didn’t even cross his mind to tell you happy Mother’s Day because your baby isnt here with you in the world yet. So I think I would find a way to let him know that your feelings were a Little bit hurt to not even get a happy Mother’s day from him but I wouldn’t blow it to out of proportion because he honestly probably just didn’t think about it because you’re pregnant and the baby’s not here yet. congratulations by the way 
I’m expecting my second grandchild in August and I’m so excited.

You’re not a mother yet….you are a mother to be! Being pregnant doesn’t make you a mother. Perhaps you’re in your feelings because of the pregnancy hormones? Trust me you’ll have many many years to celebrate Mother’s Day… don’t stress over something this simple.

You are parents from the moment you find out your carry8ng your child. I can see where he doesn’t feel the same way because men are ass holes and don’t have to be uncomfortable and all that during pregnancy lol lucky prices 
but you both are mommy and daddy already. Honestly it don’t feel really until your holding them but for example my boyfriend was speeding one day while I was pregnant with our first and I told him maybe he should slow down and he said don’t worry when she is in the car I won’t be driv8ng lik this. I had to rem8nd him that she was in the car with us and being I was only 26 weeks pregnant she would be born premature if we had gotten into a bad enough accident. I think that’s when it actually hit him. Lol
My husband said I am not his mother, so it wasn’t his job to wish me Happy Mother’s Day. Funny thing is that for all the years we have been married before his mon passed away, it was me that bought her the cards and gifts not him.

I can see why you would be hurt about that. I recommend discussing it to explain how it made you feel, and also to get his point of view. Some men don’t know or even think about recognizing their wives for mother’s day, because their wife isn’t their mother. No to say they shouldn’t recognize their wives, but rather they just haven’t thought of it as a thing. But explain that you would like to be recognized as well because you’re the mother of his child. Hopefully he will understand and agree with you.
It could also possibly be since the baby isn’t here yet, he thought he should wait (for whatever reason) until next mother’s day when the baby is actually here. Maybe from his own nervousness or maybe because he erroneously thinks you don’t become a mother until after the baby is born.
So just have a calm and rational talk about it and see how it goes.
Also, happy belated mother’s day from another mom who gets it. And congratulations on the new baby.

“you’re not his mother”. (Insert SpongeBob meme.) Our children make me a mother. A simple, “Happy Mother’s Day” is not too much to expect. It’s just not. I will say it to my sister in law, my mother in law, any mom I know. The easiest of acknowledgements, really.
But do bring it up to him. He might not really know your feelings on it.

That’s not good. You’re a mother already to your unborn child. Tell him to get his priority straighten up. He need to be a man and stop sucking on his mamas titties
In all the 18 yrs I was married to my ex husband I NEVER got a Christmas, Bday, Valentine’s or Mothers Day gift. But I always bought for him. My BF of over a yr buys me flowers and gifts. Trust me if he wanted to he would. Sorry just being honest.
You are not his Mum…
Some men are funny about this and till u have given birth you are an expecting Mum.
You are prob feeling a little more emotional about stuff too.
I suggest having a small talk with him about your feelings so he has some idea what you like or expect on special occasions or this may happen again…guys are mostly gormless when it comes to our feelings unless they are expressed…

So sorry. Sit him m down and explain all your going thru. You are definitely a Mom. You are caring and growing a child. His child. Let him know this. You are eating for 2 and being careful if what you out in your body. Not only that a baby takes a lot out if you. Minerals a d Vitamins and extra blood. Men will never understand. It can cause huge Vitamin deficiencies and cause organ and bone damage. It is all worth it when you see that beautiful face for the first time. Congratulations

Not with my first child…and of course i was a single mom…but my son’s dad was a moron anyway. But i did get “Mommy-to-Be” card from my aunt. I did get a small gift from my daughter’s dad…we’re still together. He gave me a little nicknack of a pregnant Mom pushing a stroller with a baby and had another child at her side (he has a daughter with someone else) and he said it represented me and all three kids… it was cute and sweet
In some opinions, your not HIS mother. Sounds terrible but some think this way.
Some of you are saying “your not his mom” or “technically the baby isn’t here yet”. Do you know how awful you all sound? There’s women who get acknowledged for Mother’s Day who lost their babies either by miscarriage or stillborn. I don’t understand why a husband doesn’t acknowledge his wife who is expecting their first child? It makes a wife resent the MIL if she’s thought of more than the wife. It’s the thought that counts and the husband should’ve been thoughtful period. Since Father’s Day is just around the corner, treat it like it’s just another day. Don’t give him the satisfaction. You should also tell him that it stung a little bit that you weren’t acknowledged. Men really know how to suck the joy out of a special day.
He obviously doesn’t appreciate his position as a father-to-be. What if you give him something for Father’s Day, it might wake him up without starting WWIII. Even though it hurts, let this go, tomorrow is another day.
I was SO excited for my first Mother’s Day… my ex husband looked at me and said, “I dunno wtf you’re so excited for, you’re not my mother.” That was the mindset he had every year and we had 3 kids together.
After a divorce and some time, I met my current husband who has no kids of his own, and every Mother’s Day since we met he has made me feel loved and appreciated even though my kids aren’t biologically his.
I learned that people treat you how you allow them to treat you. Don’t tolerate it.

Pregnant with our first, I quickly determined that my bar (and emotional attachment) was very different than hub. Mine didn’t do anything either. Sooooo… for Father’s Day I blew up blue balloons (knew we were having a boy) and hung them with blue streamers. Bought an “I’m a new Daddy” Tshirt and a “Dad” ball cap. Passive aggressive? YES!! But now I get flowers every year (or at least the verbal acknowledgement) and still get homemade gifts from my boys, now 19 and 16. I never said a word about my feelings way back then. He got the message. Let me wish you a belated but HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! 
You are going to rock this Mom thing because you are already sensitive to the beauty of becoming a mom. Men are just different. Hugs to you.

You’re a parent the moment you find out you are expecting. You are a parent the rest of your life. You really absolutely need to be acknowledged on this one day??!!??
Choose your fights wisely. Most men do not believe you are a parent until after birth. No big deal. They arent as hormonal as us women
