Should there be an "Expectant Mother's Day"?

Re: Should there be an "Expectant Mother's Day"?

I voted yes...i think everyone should have a day to celebrate for thier hard work so they can be appreciated too...we have mothers,fathers,grandparents day...we also have a teachers appreciation...why not have a day for mothers-to-be...

Because there's not really a difference between a mom and a mom-to-be.

We all know there's a Mother's Day, but what about the ones who are about to be mothers? Do they deserve their own day?

I know most expectant mothers are also celebrated during the regular Mother's Day, but the question still remains: do they deserve their own day?

No.

Huh, weird. Wiki doesn't even mention Pennsylvania. XD

When Jarvis died in 1904, her daughter, named Anna Jarvis, started the crusade to found a memorial day for women. The first such Mother's Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908, in the church where the elder Ann Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Grafton is the home to the International Mother's Day Shrine. From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states.

International Mother's Day Shrine... International? Maybe that's why it's known about in China. I still find that to be pretty bizarre though, considering most Americans have no idea about it.

I should dig up some of the chat logs I had with this Chinese kid. They're really rather cute.

Because there's not really a difference between a mom and a mom-to-be.

Also, to add to what Amanda said, if you are using that logic then why not have the following days:

Father-To-Be
Uncle-To-Be
Uncle Day
Aunt-To-Be
Aunt Day
Grandad-To-Be
Grandad Day
Granny Day
Granny-To-Be
Cousin Day
Cousin-To-Be
War Veteran-To-Be
Retirement
Foetus appreciation day (because if the mother gets appreciation then the child inside her must get a day).
Etc.

Do you see where your logic falters?

No, I didn't forget about that. Do you know why, because if I wrote that then it would be a retarded response compared to a post which actually had more thought in it.

We would need 2 in one year - think about it. Pregnancy lasts 9 months, but there are 12 months in a year. If their conception was up to 3 months after the 'holiday' they wouldn't be recognized anyways. Unless we put it 6 months after Mother's day to be sure. Also - what money would Hallmark make off of this? How often is a women pregnant to make a profitable card for that?

(Just a lame reason why we don't need another holiday)

How do they make money off mothers and fathers day? Also I don't mean litterally Halmark it just means the commercial buiesness milk the holiday for presents/cards.

Alot of expecting mothers already celebrate mothers day. Why not just make saturday expecting mothers day officially?
