My husband and I are pregnant with our first rainbow baby after the loss of our son Owen at 28wks and i need reassurance that's it's ok to announce it on mothers day. Apart of me thinks this will make the day really special but another part says you shouldn't be happy on mothers day.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, and congratulations on your rainbow baby!
Of course your aloud to be happy again and creating good memories while pregnant will only help you feel better and closer to this pregnancy.
I'm expecting my rainbow baby after our son Zac was stillborn, and I've felt very similar, like I can't be happy with because that's unfair to my son, but ive chosen to look at it in a different way. I see it that my rainbow baby is a gift from my son because without him passing I wouldn't be pregnant now, and that makes me so grateful and proud.
Enjoy mothers day and celebrate it by remembering what you've lost but celebrating what's coming. Wish you well.

I lost my son he was two years old,only thing holding me together is that heavens a ten million times better than here..he's in God's hands.  I have two children still here,  and I'm currently pregnant,  on mother's day I'm with them as well as my son that passed,  I cry of my loss and grieve when I need to but thinking of the good moments I had with him makes life a little easier...so on mother's day u should be happy your still a mom, your still your child's mom nothing changed except their location, at home with u and at home with God, trust it's been some time since my loss and maybe two years ago I wouldn't be as positive as I am now but someone helped me get through this to make life with him because it's never without a little bit easier. It's all about love and the love u have for your children physically and mentally. I'm sorry deeply for your loss I know too well the feeling but take a moment on That day to remember the ones who arent able to physically say I love u mom. It's all in spirit.

I would! I'm sorry for your loss that would not be easy nor is it easy to feel happy on a day that reminds you of the loss of your son. It is by no means wrong for you to find joy on Mother's Day though especially when you have another little one to come (:
