Celebrating Mother's Day While Pregnant

By , About.com Guide

The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day, a day to celebrate mothers. I often get asked the questions, “Is it acceptable to celebrate Mother’s Day if I’m only pregnant?” The answer is: Of course!

Here are some ways to celebrate Mother’s Day when pregnant:

  • Write a letter to your baby.
  • Have a special meal with your honey to celebrate your baby.
  • Take a pre-baby get away at a local bed and breakfast.
  • Get a pedicure.
  • Put together the baby’s furniture.
  • Read a baby or breastfeeding related book in preparation.
  • Pick a baby name honoring the mothers in your life.
  • Take your belly photos.
  • Announce your pregnancy if you haven't already.
  • Write your mom a letter talking to her about what it means to become a mother.

What would you add to this list?
