Would you class them as a mum?

Question

Also why/ why not??
Lost baby at 23 weeks pregnant. 
Went into labour and gave birth. 
Knew gender.
Baby's dad classes himself as dad
Would you class said person as mum? My mate is thinking about getting his partner a "mum" ring for mothers day in memory of their son. I asked if she classes herself as a mum and he got a bit angry and was like "well why wouldn't she? She is his mum. No one can take that away from her." Ect ect.
It was a simple question because I know some people wouldn't... Would you class her as a mum?? (I do but I was just curious!!)
Also why/why not??

Answer

As someone who lost her son at 23 weeks you damn fucking right I'm a mom... I've had a son since then but I carried, loved, birthed, named, and had my son baptized.. he passed away after 30 minutes in this world knowing nothing but love... it's hard being a loss mom.. our boobs leaked and were sore... we felt baby move inside of us.. learned their routine.. ate right.. being mom didnt feel different at all from my living son and my son who died.. he had every right to be taken back by suck a weird question... they will stay with us for our entire life... every family picture there will be someone missing... think a little better next time..

Answer

If she considers herself a mother then I would refer to her as one. For myself, no. To me a mother is someone who raises a child. You do not have to be pregnant to be a mom.

Answer

I don’t put labels like that on people because that’s up to them. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either. I think most people would consider themselves a mother in her case.

Answer

Yes. She carried that child so she is a mom whether her little one is here on earth or not. 💕

Answer

Absolutely. She grieved over the death of a child, she’s a mom for sure! Anyone who doesn’t think so, obviously lacks empathy.

Answer

Yes she’s a mother, no doubt about it. I think any pregnancy qualifies a woman as a mother.

Answer

Personally I think you’re a mother the minute the baby is conceived

Answer

Everyone  is different.   He should find out from her personally.  Its no one else's  decision  to choose  that.

Answer

It's not really your place to ask that. Obviously if he's getting her a mum ring he knows his wife and that she does feel that way. Your question was rude and insensitive of their loss.

Answer

Having lost my son at 22 weeks I would 100% class her as a mother. 
I love the idea of getting a "mum" ring also. I've had a look at a few the past few weeks but want to make sure I chose one that I really really like
