"Push" present?..

lbittma80 · February 2009

anyone expecting one from DH? Have you dropped hints?

I had no idea about the concept until my SIL mentioned how she got diamond earrings. DH would have NO idea about what this is unless I were to tell him. And if I don't tell him what I want-EXACTLY-I will wind up with two left shoes again (he knows I love shoes and bought me the one pair that was goofed up).

bless his heart...he tried.

I don't expect one, nor will I likely ask for one.

i got a baby

jensahokie · February 2009

I don't think I'll ask since we spent $12,000 getting pregnant, but I wouldn't turn down diamonds

christana08 · February 2009

I've hinted... we'll see if he does anything. I doubt it.

CalinsBride · February 2009

Nope, it was either push present or babymoon, and I picked babymoon. Whatever Dh would have got me for a push present he said he will get me for my first Mother's Day instead.

Dulaney · February 2009

I've never heard of this before...and since he is out of work right now I probably wouldn't ask or expect anything.

vtgirl · February 2009

Didn't expect one for my first pg and DH just suprised me with one because he had read about it in one of my maternity magazines! Good thing I left it lying around! It is a really sweet necklace with all of our birthstones in it.

DonnysBride09 · February 2009

hes buying me a COACH diaper bag as a gift. so that will be all. we are planning and saving for our wedding too.. so i dont expect much. that was the one thing we both agreed on that would get "used" and would be worth the money.

BadaBing327 · February 2009

I'm getting a newborn as a push present.

grey99 · February 2009

I'm getting a baby. That's all I want.

erino&chrish · February 2009

With this economy, we'll either have no $$ for one, or if we have the $$ I'd rather have it saved for a rainy day or so we can afford to get carryout and other comforts the first few weeks the baby is home.

Temp159135562506975 · February 2009

considering money is tight when most people have a baby- i think a PP is a bit much. The baby is present enough for me.... and having a DH who will help out and let me rest when i need to, etc - i'll take that any day over soemthing material.

sharrow · February 2009

I am not a big fan of "push presents". The only girls I know who got push presents, whined to their husbands to make them buy one.

I did tell DH I want an Italian Sub and some champagne after birth... not sure if that counts. Big Smile

lujain · February 2009

I told DH I wanted a fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements for my push present. I was only half kidding. Not sure if he'll deliver.

zubenescamali · February 2009

DH actually brought it up when he started reading the baby books...he said, "so i'm supposed to buy you a pregnancy gift to make you feel special, but not until the baby comes" he's such a sweetie!

Moiselle · February 2009

A Chanel 2.55 flap bag. I am forgoing 2 Christmases, an anniversary, and 2 birthdays for this one! Of course, if he says its not the right time, I will just hold out and wait!

heidismith · February 2009

I havent heard of this before and I know the DH hasnt so I dont think that I will be getting one.

JCM052707 · February 2009

Um no. I think that is the LAST instance in which we need to drop a ton of money on something frivolous...having a baby is enough for me.

MrsBarkel2B · February 2009

In a perfect world hubby would buy me this pink sapphire and diamond celebration ring from Tiffany's

**Gretchen** · February 2009

Nope. Not expecting one and would be really surprised if I got one.

andiwal · February 2009

no way. i will certainly not be asking for one, and if DH brings it up (which i doubt), I will turn it down. The nursery and all of the stuff that comes with a baby is enough money, and the only thing i want after pushing is, like pps said, our baby.

Haha - awesome answer!

sabrina69barnes · February 2009

When my DS was born my ex got me a white gold heart necklace that had a saphire ( blue for a boy) in it. I was mad because he spent money we didn't have. DH will probably get me flowers or some cute pi's or something else small but he know I don't want anything big and if we had extra money I would want it to go for one of the kids college.

POL2006 · February 2009

DS was born just before christmas-

my "push present" came 2 months later for valentine's day- it was a push, christmas, and valentine's day gift all in one. It was a second wedding band, which matches my first band and sits on the top. I really wanted it when we got married but couldn't rationalize the expense. It has my son's initials engraved- so i will always think if him with it.

IMO a gift that you can treasure is a nice momento- it doesn't have to break the bank but a lot goes into giving birth that you alone take one. even the most loving husband can't do it for you- and should appreciate you carrying his child and "giving birth" to them. Its a priviledge for all of us, but also a gift we give to our spouses and our children.

Now that's what 'm talkin' about!! Woo hoo...wish that was possible right now!!!

ChicagoBride713 · February 2009

LOL My hubby joking said I got my rock when we got engaged and thats enough for a while : ) Of course, who knows if he is going to get me something. He is a sweetie,

LVila · February 2009

Uh, no. No push present. I knew what I had to do when I got pregnant... push the baby out. My 'present' has gone on my entire pregnancy with a helpful husband.

rebus82 · February 2009

If I saw something like a ring with the baby's birthstone, or similar, for not too much money, I might hint that I'd like it. I wouldn't ask for anything extravagant though, and it would have to be baby related.?

I'd be more than happy to get DH something too, as a "thank you for letting me cuss at you while I'm in labor" gift.?

goldenprincess · February 2009

DH ended up getting me a family ring with all three of our birthstones in it.

mommabarker09 · February 2009

I know I'm gonna piss someone off by saying this, but I think "push" presents are absolutely ridiculous. Maybe it's the name that really irks me... isn't FINALLY having your child in your arms enough?? Now don't get me wrong, a man that doesn't give the mother of his child flowers after she gives birth should probably be punched, but diamonds are a little over the top.

jaxgev · February 2009

You better believe I asked for diamonds and I made sure to tell DH about the custom. He surprised me on Valentine's Day with a platinum and diamond ring. I was pretty shocked because I told him I didn't want anything (despite the custom) but reverse psychology always works with him. We also have a few trips planned in the next couple of weeks so I'm basically spoiled as shiit. I'm sure I'll get something when I deliver too. Life is good.

Oh and DH's parents just surprised me today with a white and brown diamond tennis bracelet. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

moonshiney · February 2009

Haven't heard much about this but probably not going to get anything.

We will have spent enough getting ready for baby on all baby stuff!

Fluffy · March 2009

I've asked for a big glass of sangria. It will be July and it will taste sooooo good!

Chrysallys · March 2009

I told DH about them as a joke because I think it's hilarious and to me a baby is enough. We laughed a long time over it. So what does he do? Goes out and spends a fortune booking me a pregnancy spa getaway for me and a friend. He said it was half Valentine's Day and half "push present". Somehow I don't think he was joking.

Custom? I don't think there is a formal "custom".

christacdodge23 · March 2009

We have discussed them but no diamonds or anything over the top. we have agreed to buy a new digital camera, and SLR so that the delay time doesnt exsist so that we can capture all of the best moments of our childs life. The camera's we have now take a fw seconds before acutally taking the picture so we are looking for a more professional camera. That is all I need, and it is a git for both of us that we will likely get before the actual pushing begins. Big Smile

MMMMMM Sangria...... Stick out tongue

madonnadouwanna · March 2009

DH and I talked about this long before I had even heard of a push present. I asked for a simple white gold ring with a single ruby (due in july) with her name engraved in it. I've been looking for a ring to wear on my right hand and this just worked out. It will also be my birthday present since the baby is due a few days after my birthday...

EIR · March 2009

my husband said the baby is my present but I'm sure he will get me something
