2nd Trimester

Push Presents...

Come on ladies' let's be honest here. Who has made a mention of a 'push present' to their DH?

I'm assuming it's the same bunch of 1st timers who also demand their DH do something for them this Mother's day?

  • Hahaha, not me!

  • This whole concept is just ridiculous to me.

    All I asked for was a bottle of coke.  And a cheeseburger.

  • I didn't ask anything for myself, but I'm secretly saving up for my husbands birthday cause his birthday is a week before LO is due. He wants to get into fly fishing, so I will be getting him the start up "stuff." lol
  • Not me! I didn't even know what a push present was until I joined the Bump.
  • Me! I requested beer or wine - his choice.
  • I didn't mention it to him (mainly b/c I didn't know what it was until I saw it here on the bump) But his Daddy Pregnancy book talks about it. I don't know how he feels about as I know he is just approaching that chapter. I assume he will talk to me about it when he gets there. Yes, I read the book too, I just try not to read too far ahead of where he is.

  • I, for one, am holding this baby in until I get my damn present.

    I was going to say - the same one's demanding mother's day gift before I read your post!

    I am not making mention - but DH has.  He mentioned a while back (prior to me getting pregnant this go around) that he wants to get me my top wedding band as a mothers ring.  Now, we will see if he gets it ordered and made in time...

  • I jokingly told DH I want a Keurig or an espresso machine. We were planning on getting one soon anyway though. Now we just have an awesome excuse. baby = no sleep => lattes.

  • If you have to tell your husband you are expecting something or what a push present is, the entire sentiment of it is lost and you look like a greedy b!tch, IMO.

    I don't want one, never got one, and won't be getting one this time either. But I have c/s so I am not special enough anyway.

  • I'm not going to lie. I told DH that I wanted a nice birthday present this year since LO is due 8 days after my birthday. We didn't do anything for Christmas or our anniversary this year.I also have to spend mothers day with his mother and I can't stand her.

    I don't care what you call it..push present or  birthday present but I would appreciate something. DH wants to get me jewelry and told me to pick something out.

  • since mothers day is coming up and stuff is already out in stores it came up while grocery shopping and i said i'd rather wait.  he likes giving gifts and surprises though so i said if he wanted, he could save up to give me something nice after the child is born.  but i have to figure out what to get him for his bday which is the day after my due date.

    This.  I didn't know about it or mention it to him.  He mentioned getting another band! 

    Most likely he will forget!  (which is fine as my rings are getting too tight anyway!)

  • oh shiieeet. I forgot I did ask for a push present. Does a big heaping bowl of antipasto cold cuts count as a push present? If so, I'm a demanding b!tch. I told DH he better not show up to my delivery room without that and some liquor.

  • A "push present" sounds like the surprise turd that can come out during delivery.

    This. What a strange concept.

    Dobie : HAHA DH had better get his butt in gear ;)

    This.  I don't need him to get me a thing.

  • I had never heard of "push presents" until the Bump. I think the whole concept is fvcking ridiculous.

    I told DH that I wanted a nice birthday present this year since LO is due 8 days after my birthday. 

    I don't care what you call it..push present or  birthday present but I would appreciate something. 

    This! LO is due 10 days after my birthday, so I mentioned that I'd appreciate something nice.

    JayandJack I didn't realize we're due 7 days apart! and to learn our birthdays are only 9 days apart...I knew there was something I liked about you ;) 

  • I really just want a bottle of champagne in the fridge!
  • imageBecExpecting:

    LOL! Seriously!

  • I think him buying me a camcorder for my birthday was my unintentional push present. It's for the baby!
  • Our wedding anniversary is around the same time LO is born so he told me wants to get me something "special".  I find the thought very sweet.
  • No need. My husband's female coworkers have apparently brought it up to him...well, one actually said "you better get her a push present!" Haha.
  • I didn't even get flowers when K was born.
    All I told him was - i better at least get a freaking flower this time.

    LOL!

  • imageagrundman:

    This...Nor do I think that Mother's Day is a special day for 1st time Mother's to be--unless they are inwardly looking forward to next year and getting excited about the prospect of being able to celebrate with their new LO.

  • I'm bored stuck on bed rest so I thought I'd chime in.... I said I wanted a large margarita pizza from our local Italian restaurant (being I have GD pizza is a no-no) with a glass of wine.....mmmmm

    Now mothers day I think DH is getting my my diaper bag (its a little pricey) but since I am already a mom, I don't consider it grabby!

  • Frankly I don't get them.  The real push present for me is hopefully a healthy baby. 

    My husband asked me if I wanted one and I said, "absolutely not."  I know he'll show his appreciation, which doesn't require a box and a bow. 

    Push presents seem like something that DeBeers and Tiffany's came up with so men will buy more diamond pendants.

  • I think our daughter is present enough for the both of us.  I'm sure we will have a celebratory drink with our families.  My husband can be very thoughtful when he wants to be though, so maybe he will surprise me?!  Either way, I'm not expecting anything.

  • I didn't, but I did have a long list of carbohydrate-laden food that I wanted to eat as soon after delivery as possible (I had GD).

    And I have already posted before that my H went out and got me a push present on his own, and it was perfect.

    Hahaha! This made me LOL at work. Now all of my co-workers are wondering why I am laughing to myself.

  • This is too funny, never heard of it before I read this post! I thought the baby was the "push present"? Wink Having said that, there better be a cold beer waiting for me in the fridge when I get home.

  • I totally expect something after I pop his kid out.  I don't know yet what it will be, but based on what's right across the street from the hospital, I'm thinking a burger, a burrito or a big sub. I will let him know when we get there.

  • I mentioned push presents to DH a couple years ago before we were even thinking of TTC.  I asked him the other day what his thoughts were on it and he said that he already knows what he's getting me :) I don't expect anything, but it melted my heart a bit to think that he already had something planned. I'm sure it's something heartfelt and memorable, not just a gift.

    LOL, it kinda does, doesn't it? 

  • Haven't mentioned it and I am not going to.

  • I had never even heard of it before the bump.  And no, I didn't ask, expect, become disappointed in DH when I didn't get a "push present."
