I actually had no idea that gifts from husbands for having a child were even called a Push present! That is until I joined JM, Dh and I actually started a tradition when we had our first dd I'd get some sort of jewelry to commemorate the birth of our child and when then child gets married I pass it on to her and the tradition hopefully carries on from there. Have any BTDT gotten a usb present or do you call it or consider it something else such as myself?

Ha ha...DH would crack up if I told him he needed to buy me a "push present" Expanding our family is a gift in itself

[ellinj0206]

Actually, my husband's boss is Jewish and she told him about "push presents" which in her faith (she's Orthodox) are pretty much tradition. Of course, about a year ago when we first decided to start trying my hubby said "I'll get you a push present." It's gone from his offering an iPad (don't want one!) to a car (don't want to get one, but would need it, my Saturn is getting to be unreliable---this is really a necessity under the guise of a push gift).

I told my husband about a push present the other day, he looked at me like I was crazy and said, that sound like another BS reason for women to get gifts....... I looked at him like I was going to kill him and before I could say anything my sweet little 9yr old step daughter said "Dad having a baby hurts, how you u like a baby to come out of your privates?!?!" HAHAHHAHHAH I love her. He laughed, then looked at the link of the Michael Kors watch I want, LOL

Nope, no push present here, unless you count DH doing ALL nighttime diaper changes for at least the first two weeks while I'm recovering from c/s I DO plan purchase some sort of jewelry in the future... probably a mother's necklace. I also want to get the memorial tear necklace in memory of my Dad and the two babies that I lost. I purchased it for my Mom right after my Dad died and she wears it regularly, but I never got around to getting one for myself:
Memorial Tear Rose Sterling Silver Pendant II

It would be nice to get a little something, but I highly doubt it will happen!

[ride-through]

Not something i'd expect or accept!

[marybethsmom]

I got a beautiful iolite/diamond ring for dd, but I'm thinking this time it will be much more low key. I was thinking a necklace or something with their initials?

[AltMommy]

A present would be nice but I can't imagine what I would even want at a time like that. The only thing I can think of is more stuff for the baby lol!! I'm not a huge jewelry person. I guess flowers are okay. Haha, I'm just not super into mooshy or romantic things anymore.

[kristap4]

With my other 3 i never got anything, so I don't expect anything for this one either.

[ashley5]

Yes I expect a push present:] Nothing real big, I think last time dh got me a shirt I really really wanted. This time I have a couple of things in mind, but I let him pick something fun. I don't need anything big and expensive, but I like a thank you for pushing his kid out from between my legs

[bostoncreampie]

My push present will be takeout food from wherever I want immediately after delivery. That's all I ask.

[mommaof4andhalf]

LOL Kristen! That's the exact same thing I asked my DH to get for me. I told him I wanted him to smuggle me some food after Globby is born.

I told the DH about this over dinner and he kinda laughed with the response 'if I left the hospital to go get you flowers I'm pretty sure you would throw them at me'. He has already promised if I write out a few simple recipes he would cook for the first few weeks when I get home. We shall see if that happens. He hates cooking, microwaved food is his best friend.

I don't wear jewelry. I only have my my wedding band and engagement ring, and belly button ring. Though that will soon be gone.

I do plan to get a tattoo after all is said and done. I have a plan to get a anklet in a double helix with leaves with the birth date of each of my children in roman numerals. And sense I stay at home and it is 'his' money that will pay for it that will be my 'push present'.

[Kansascity kitty]

I like the idea but our way of the gift is a gift for the child in the future so most likely not the same thing. It is pretty neat though and why not a little something special for months of hard work!

[delaney24]

Not something I'd expect & I know DH wouldn't get me one without me bringing it up, but it sure would be nice! I know he has got me a mother's day card, so perhaps a push present isn't totally out of the question. Like a few of the other ladies...I will happily take fast food smuggled into the hospital

[Mrs.Paradise]

I like that Angelina! I LOVE that you get something for you now and then will pass it on to your child! LOVE THAT!!! Im not sure if we are going to do a "push present" or not... but if we do I will keep that in mind!

[mandattu_02]

I didn't get one with Ryan so I'm not really expecting one this time either. When I brought it up to DH last time, he just kinda laughed at me. He does do all the house work, dishes, laundry, etc, so that is present enough for me!!

[KatieHeitman]

I've never gotten one before. I think I told DH about it before our first and he just laughed. I don't expect anything, but I do love presents.

[bryan and nina]

I highly doubt my DH will get me anything, although a little gesture of appreciation would be nice! We'll see. I think we will be so focused on our baby that a gift to me will be the last thing on our minds...
