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

[angelofthedead]

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?

What? Mother's Day isn't even about motherhood, it's about pacifism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day

Get your **** straight

Once upon a time, I met a guy who lives in China. His English was not very good, but he was excited to talk to an American girl and I was excited to talk to him.

While I attempted to explain that we have "Virginia" and "West Virginia" with nothing called "East Virginia", he shared with me what he knew about it. Apparently, West Virginia was where the first Mother's Day was celebrated.

..........I live in Virginia and I had never heard that in my life. But sure enough, it says so on Wiki.

Really makes me wonder what they prioritize when teaching Chinese kids about America.



Edit: Holy crap I could have sworn this was Chit-Chat. It really has no place in Critical Thinking....

Editx2: To address the actual topic, why do you think they deserve their own day? They fit right in with Mother's Day, and there are plenty of other things we could make a new day for instead if we were so inclined.

We already have enough stupid pointless holidays invented by halmark. Christmass and Easter are hardly religous holidays, they're now more about greed.

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)

This really isn't a critical thinking thread, and I would just nuke it if it weren't for jamuko's nice comment there. This thread has hope.

Okay, but there also needs to be a National FFR Day.

Wrecked. No. Pregnant women don't need their own day.

They will have their child eventually and then they will be a mother and celebrate mothers day. They dont need another day.
