Should I give a Mothers Day Card?

If the only reason you are not giving the card is because you think she could loose the baby, then yes, send the card. I don't think that's a good enough reason to not send it. For example, would you not send a get well soon if you thought the person would never get well?

If she's pregnant she has a kid, and therfore right now is a mom. Perhaps in the future she might not be a mom any longer, but you could say that about any mom.

Also if she does loose the baby, I highly doubt your card will be high on her priority list during her grieving. It's a nice gesture to show your support for her and you should have no reservations about it.

Ooooo. That is a tough one! Maybe something that's not as "permanent" as a card? You never know. If something horrific *were* to happen, she may treasure that card. OR - well, we all know the opposite of that.

Maybe a flower with a "congrats to the future mom" message? O! Better yet, get one of those cookie greetings where they put the greeting in decorator's icing on the cookie itself. It's meant to be eaten! Then if something happens, no cookie to serve as a reminder!

A bit odd, I'll admit, but I like to play things safe in this one area of my life. I don't like hurting others unintentionally. Only in self-defense!

Let us know what you end up doing when you check for best answer, please. Now I'm curious! LOL!

well see, the problem is you don't know etiquette. It's poor etiquette to give a mother's day card to anyone other than your own mother. So yes, anything other than that is inappropriate.

What do you mean "feel left out"? This isn't a general card giving day, it's a date to remember your own mother.

I feel it's perfectly fine. As soon as conception occurs, whether people want to admit it or not, the two people who had sex become parents.

But if you're uneasy about it, then don't do it. Instead, offer something else, like a flower, for example.

Unless she has a history of miscarrying, go ahead and give her a card. It's best to think positively, and I'm sure she'll love the sentiment!
