For holidays like mother’s day, valentine’s or whatever, we skip cards and go out for an ice cream sundae. It’s a mutual agreed upon thing and I look forward to it

I would be upset too, but im super sensitive. Our kids are almost grown and all these years mothers day is basically nothing until the last minute but we always cook out and all that for fathers day. Idk, i dont get it myself.
Time for you to let him know how things are going to be

You are pregnant, so you ARE, in fact, a mom. That baby is alive in your belly. He/she exists. It’s not an opinion; it’s objective fact. The same exact way that women who have lost babies are still mothers. Growing a baby is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding things you could ever do. You should have been acknowledged, and I’m sorry that you weren’t. 
Your feelings are valid, and I’m sorry people have been so rude on this post.
To all of the stupid comments saying “You’re not his mother,” insert SpongeBob meme here. He made the OP a mother, and she should be acknowledged. Do you tell your girlfriends happy mothers day? Aunts, cousins, sisters, etc.? Probably. All mothers deserve to be acknowledged.
Maybe try asking him if you can sit down with him and share how you’re feeling. Sometimes men just don’t get it!
Some of these women commenting should be ashamed! RAISE YOUR BAR FOR STANDARD! Then my ex husband got me something! STANDARDS MATTER!!! Your boyfriend or husband is a dick! Plain and simple and shame on everyone that exuses his bad behavior!!! These are the same people that say boys will be boys! These are the same people that ALWAYS take a man side over a women side!
I wouldn’t stress it too hard as you’re technically not a mommy yet

I didn’t. I got a mental health day? No kids and watched tv and ate food all day in bed. We do it so often tho the only magic was me cheeks clapping. 
it would be nice for a change but I did express that out loud so we’ll see!
You’re not a mother. It seems right he spent it with his mom.

Why is Mother’s Day in May, & Father’s day in June? Well planned timing. What they give (thoughtful, caring & appreciative gift) they will receive in June. Glad my hubby made the effort.

If you wouldnt wish your husband happy fathers day without the baby yet either dont overthink it your time will come. And if you feel that it’s important to you then express how you feel to him. Most men wont get it if you dont say anything.

My husband was mad at me- he bought me a card from my son and from him but never gave them to me. He also got himself a new outfit, shoes, and shoes for my son while I got nothing. Karma is coming on Father’s Day!

Not wrong. Some may disagree with me but I became a mother the second I saw two lines.
Also, it’s not okay to not be acknowledged on Mother’s Day when you’re pregnant. It’s unnecessary drama that can easily be avoided by saying three simple words: Happy Mother’s Day. That’s it. You’re carrying his child, it’s the least he could do.

definitely talk to him about it. it makes no sense he wouldn’t acknowledge you. You’re carrying his mother and you are a mama. My husband told me happy mothers day when I was pregnant. it’s just thoughtful and special. talk to him about your feelings love. <3
my husband has always said I’m not his mother. That’s true. If your husband isn’t the overly romantic type he probably wouldn’t think to say it to you
Some people don’t celebrate Mother’s Day before the baby is born. Mostly men. If it’s bothering you that much say something to him. Or don’t celebrate Father’s Day when it comes around, since “he’s not a dad yet. He should get the point that when the baby is there that you matter too when it comes to Mother’s Day. It sucks when we get disappointed but there’s not much you can do about it now.
I didn’t get anything either, you aren’t alone. I didn’t even get a quiet day lol

I wouldn’t take much offence to it. Mother’s/father’s Day is really just a money grab. Just like Valentine’s Day.
You should show love and appreciation for your partner every day without requiring gifts or salutations for the day.
My Mother’s Day was just like any other day. I still got up, fed my 4 kids, still cleaned my house, still cooked dinner. Sure I got a gift. But to me the day wasn’t for me. It was for the kids. I wouldn’t be a mother if it wasn’t for them. So while people want their spouse to celebrate for them, celebrate your baby instead. Be happy you’re carrying a healthy, growing baby. That you will get to cherish every day once they’re here.
If it really bugs you, don’t get anything or wish him a happy Father’s Day when the time comes either.
But some don’t consider it being a legit mother’s/Father’s Day unless the baby is actually there.
Happy late Mother’s Day to you mama to be.

Simply say something to him. Some people just don’t celebrate mother day until the baby is here. He may not even understand it upset you if you haven’t said anything. I personally didn’t celebrate Mother’s Day until I had my baby. All of my family is like that and I have 3 sisters and a brother. I wouldn’t do anything for him for Father’s Day either because he’s not technically a father yet either.
He probably didn’t think of it. He’s always honored his mom. Now he needs to do both.
Mother’s day is to celebrate our mother’s not the mothers of your children. If it’s something that’s Important to you then you should talk to him about it. Little things like this can become big issues later if you don’t communicate

I have three kids and I didn’t even told happy mother’s day by anyone until I told my kids it was mother’s day. I didn’t get shit, never do. It’s just another day so we don’t celebrate anymore
Yes, it would have. Even nice (and thoughtful) if he had. I’ve been married 56 years and popped out 3 children. I’ve never gotten a Mother’s Day gift or card from him, because I’m “not his mother”. Doesn’t mean I’m not hurt, every single year. On the other hand, he’s not my father so I don’t do anything for him in June. Two can play at that!

Just keep in mind that he may not feel the need to celebrate as you are not his mom - I would make sure you voice your opinion to Hubby and see what he says. You may live a future where he doesn’t celebrate you and doesn’t teach your children to do it either.
I personally didn’t celebrate Mother’s Day until I had my baby. I would probably let him know, he can’t read minds. Have a talk about all the holidays and your expectations, likes and dislikes.

I didn’t receive any gifts but my kids called
Try having two children, seven step children and ten grandchildren and nothing. One had an excuse being in hospital. The rest are just a disgrace . But the minute they want something .alone all day with the granddaughter I care for because her parents didn’t have fuel money to come and get her this week. Wtf they both work and she smokes but they can’t get 5heir child because they can’t buy fuel. as partner went interstate to visit his mother. Had to cook our dinner that night and he only ate half a beautiful roast lamb dinner. I’m done. I care for one granddaughter for four or five days and nights a week so her parents can work and not even a hand made card.
Such a cruel selfish world we live in.

My fiancé got me nothing for my first Mother’s Day. Prior to Mother’s Day, my bday was April 21st and it was my 30th bday. Nothing. I don’t care about expensive things either, just a card and a simple gift. I’m still with him today and trust me , at least from my stand point - I never subconsciously forgot it. Wounds turn to scars.

Does he want to be a father, or was that your decision…
My husband just looked at me and said I’d say Happy Mother’s day but you ain’t my mom.
I said I’m the mother of your son. Then he turns to me and sarcastically says Oh well happy mother’s day then.
This is the same man who almost forgot my birthday !
My son however came over with his girlfriend and they got me a new crockpot and installed Roku on my TV

I don’t agree with those saying Mother’s Day is for your mom only. No it’s not. She’s the mother of his child which means he should celebrate Mother’s Day for the woman having his baby. I’ve always gotten gifts from my husband on Mother’s Day. My father always bought my mom gifts on Mother’s Day. It’s not about the gifts, it’s about showing appreciation. He could have given her a simple card just to show his appreciation and respect.

Men literally don’t understand holidays. They aren’t like women who go above and beyond for acknowledgment. You don’t even know the amount of first time dads that are like… she’s not my mom and I’m not her dad, why would there be an exchange of gifts for said holidays? Or the technicality of a child not being born to officially make you a mom or dad. I don’t know of its hormonal or just your actual feelings but men aren’t raised to pick up clues, they are raised to follow directions. Sadly women are raised to have awareness of verbal cues and body language so that they can cater to needs. Men are raised to follow precise directions to provide the need. If you were just sitting around hoping for a a grand gesture and now I’m your feelings about it, share some blame. If you straight out told him you want to be acknowledged and he still did nothing then, it’s totally on him. And if you say… how would you feel if I didn’t do anything for you on Father’s Day, I guarantee he’ll say something like… I wouldn’t feel anything because I’m not your dad and the child isn’t born yet for me to be acknowledged. LoL

It is almost Father’s Day. Don’t do anything. Before remark what a good Father he will be, etc. Make him feel like a potential father and don’t do anything. Sometimes people have to be shown. And if he gives you that you’re not my mother crap, find out how he learned to give his mother. Children learn by example. Oh, and if he didn’t learn…good luck.

I might not be my husband’s mom, but he takes care of me everyday., not just Mother’s Day. I get flowers randomly, dinner cooked every night and I have everything I need. Though he didn’t buy me anything for Mother’s Day I still get the best of him every other day so I can’t complain. Hopefully your guy makes up for his lack of acknowledgment on other days.

Men aren’t very good at taking initiative. I have found after 3 failed relationships that if you want something to be important to a man you need to tell him how important it is to you. Men and woman are just different. I just had my 40th birthday and I planned all the events myself. He showed up, he paid for most, and he was attentive and caring but I had to let him know how much this milestone birthday meant to me. If I had been as understanding with my previous relationships they probably would have been a lot better than they were.
