My MIL sent me a card and I got a bunch of texts from friends and family.
I'm not sure what DH will do today. My expectations are low so I don't think I'll be bothered if DH didn't get me anything.
We had our gender reveal on Friday so we've been distracted and excited about that. 
Finding out has been a gift in itself. We weren't planning to find out Mother's Day weekend. It just happened that way.
Side note: I do want to get him a dad-to-be Father's Day card and maybe gift.

It was super early and we hadn't announced yet, but DH did get me a card.

I hadn't announced yet, so only family knew so they said Happy Mom to be day to me and such....I honestly can't remember if DH got me.a card

I was only 7 weeks pregnant, so we had only told family at that point. DH got me a sweet card and my family all wished me Happy Mother's Day when we had dinner that afternoon.

I'm only 4 weeks and we haven't told many people, but dh did get me a card. I wondered if he would and felt "meh" at the idea of it (since it would be our first with a baby if we hadn't had a loss), but it was so sweet I loved it

Last year, we hadn't announced to everyone yet, but DH got me a card.

DH had to leave out of town for work that day. It was the first time we'd been apart, well since we moved in together before being married. I cried my eyes out and he was so confused. To say I was emotional was a huge understatement.

I was due the next week and had talked a bit to DH about being super pregnant on Mother's Day and wanting to just hold LO already. He did a fantastic job of making me feel appreciated as a mom already. And everyone that said congrats was a little boost of confidance that I was really a mom. Those first mothers day wishes were so meaningful to me.

My husband got me a card and a new wreath. He wanted to skip it since I technically wasn't a mother but I pee'd myself while brushing my teeth that week and told him if that didn't warrant a Mother's Day gift then I don't know what did.

I got a card and flowers from dh, cards and texts from friends, cousin, mil/mom, etc. I didn't expect any of it and it was a sweet surprise. I was just around the end of first trimester w ds1.

DH gave me a mom to be card today from bump, as well as stuff from our daughter. But before we had any kids I don't think he did... I remember my sister sending me a text though.

Surprisingly lots of acknowledgement & congrats! I am about to pop, 
but am still pleasantly surprised.

DH got me a card (he asked last week if he should - I told him I wasn't going to tell him what to do 
). My mom wished me a happy mothers' day on the phone, and my SiL texted me. Hardly anyone else knows yet.

This is my third Mother's Day pregnant, and DH has done something small each year. The first one I was only about 5 weeks, but I wanted to celebrate because it was exciting. My mom had gotten me a card and gift the last two years as well (she didn't know yet the first one).

Yep! DH bought me a gift and I've gotten several texts from family and friends. I wasn't expecting it. It's been nice.

I got a few phone calls and texts! We're going to dinner tonight to "celebrate"

I had just found out the week before so we did a brunch with our families and told them then. They were the only ones that knew and DH and I thought it weird/premature to say happy Mother's Day when I was like 5 weeks pregnant.

@bluestriped bee: Oh my gosh! A boy and a girl!! Congratulations! That is wonderful!
To answer your question, yes, I got several texts from friends today even though we don't have our bean yet. And DW and I swapped cards. Happy mothers day!

Nope. I was pretty far along but still nada. He doesn't do much now either, truthfully.

I was induced on mothers day! I think my husband got me flowers.

Not me, since I wasn't pregnant last Mother's Day, but I wished a friend (who is 6 months pregnant with her first) a happy Mother's Day today.

Yep! I'm 36 weeks pregnant, and DH bought me a pandora initial charm for her, and a card. My parents came up, and bought me pajamas, journal, candle, and some other stuff for my hospital bag (shower shoes/slippers). My aunt sent a bag over with a bunch of soap, candles, spa type stuff. She makes a bag for all the mothers in the family (20 aunts and cousins). She's been giving me one every year for the dogs lol.
We went to the mall yesterday, and strangers told me Happy Mother's Day and Congratulations! I received lots of texts from friends. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the love

I'm 33 weeks and my husband got me flowers and a card this year. Last year, I had just lost a pregnancy so it's a much better mother's day. We are at a major league baseball game today and a few people have yelled "happy mother's day" to me.

Not by DH and I was so upset! I was 8 months pregnant and he did not acknowledge it in the slightest. Around lunchtime, I finally lost it and called him out on it, to which he replied 'but you're not a mother yet'. All I can say is he is lucky he's alive after that comment to his 8 months pregnant wife
Of course he forgot it the next year as well, but that's a different story....he can be a bit scatterbrained at times! My parent and friends acknowledged it though when I was pregnant, it was very sweet.

@simplyfelicity: so sweet! Glad you're having a great day!! Happy Mother's Day!

I don't remember!
I didn't feel like a mom until after my daughter was born though.

It was too early for anyone else to know but my husband made me a sweet card from the baby "dear mom, thanks for the free womb and board."

I was in labour 
My waters broke on Mothers Day morning, so any plans of a nice breakfast/lunch were out of the equation. I think if you're pregnant at any stage on Mother's day you are definitely a mama. Your entire body and being are providing love and sustenance to your little bean and that is the essense of being mum

My husband got me a cute little mug with flowers in the year I was pregnant. But to be fair, I think it had come up in conversation that I was expecting we'd celebrate our first mother/father's day while I was pregnant.

I wouldn't really let anyone acknowledge bc I was too superstitious and anxious but my mom did get me some flowers, which was nice. And now the last two years we've been too busy to really celebrate it!

I was 41 weeks pregnant last mothers day, and was highly emotional due to pregnancy + overdueness + being sad that I wasn't a "real" mom yet. I knew if DH didn't acknowledge it, it would bum me out. So rather than wait-and-see I just told him that. And it was a good thing because it hadn't occurred to him (he's wonderful but maybe not the most emotionally in tune sometimes lol). So he made me breakfast and got me a small gift and I was very happy (and had a baby 2 days later). No one else acknowledged me, which was totally fine.

My mom and some friends/family wished me a HMD. My mom gave me a harmony ball necklace (sort of like a wind chime for the baby inside!)
DH did not really acknowledge, but he had previously said he felt he'd be "jinxing" it to celebrate MD for me already. I mean we already have his room set up so I don't really understand his thinking, but whatever. He did make me a bomb-a$$ breakfast though.
