Why Mother’s Day is Important

Mother’s Day is more than just a holiday—it’s a heartfelt reminder to honor the love, strength, and care that mothers give every day. For moms-to-be, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the journey they are about to embark on, offering them comfort, encouragement, and appreciation.

This bath bomb from Latika Beauty is a wonderful addition to your Mother's Day gift package to soothe and relax a mom-to-be.

A Brief History of Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day as we know it was first established in the U.S. by Anna Jarvis in 1908 as a way to honor her mother and the sacrifices mothers make for their children. Over time, it became a globally recognized celebration, though traditions vary from country to country. While originally focused on mothers with children, today’s celebrations extend to all maternal figures—including those who are expecting.

Can I Celebrate Mother’s Day While Pregnant?

Absolutely! Pregnancy is the beginning of motherhood, and it's the perfect time to start embracing this special journey. Many partners, family members, and friends choose to honor expectant moms on Mother’s Day, making it a beautiful tradition to carry forward. Whether through a heartfelt gesture, a relaxing experience, or a meaningful gift, there are many ways to make a mom-to-be feel cherished.
