Should you celebrate Mother’s Day while pregnant?

Mother’s Day is fast-approaching, which means that if you currently have a bun in the oven, this year will be super special. But should you celebrate the holiday before your little one is in your arms?

It’s safe to say that most ladies will tell you the following – absolutely! After all, most women consider themselves mothers the moment they know they’re expecting.

Why not mark the event with your husband and toast the occasion at a special brunch? Of course, a virgin mimosa is nothing but plain old O.J., but you can still clink your glass with your entire family by your side and say cheers to the exciting times that lie ahead.

Or, why not head out for the day with just your hubby? The precious moments you spend with your main squeeze should be cherished before baby makes three.

In the end, it’s important that you remember that Mother’s Day is for expectant mommies as well. When it comes down to it, pregnancy can be just as difficult as parenthood!
