Push present?

Is anyone getting a say in their push present or do you know what you are getting?

Re: Push present?
ditto!
I hate the term "push present" - I cringe whenever I hear it.
My little man at 0-1-2
Haha! This!
Hahaha this!
I would like to get an Isabelle grace jewelry necklace that has both my kids names on it with their birthstones. That was supposed to be my bday present which was dec 26 but I told DH to forget it because we spent a lot on Christmas. Maybe I'll get it for Mothers day? I don't need a "push present" per se.
I know my SO has never heard of such a thing and I don't bring things up like, "hunny whatcha getting me for pushing out your kid"?
I'm going to pretend I haven't heard of this term either. No use in letting my hormones get in the way of SO not being able to "read my mind" LOL
zomg, my H is getting me the same thing!!
After DD2 is born, I'll add on to my DD1 necklace, but it's not a push present. Heck I might even have a RCS so I won't even have to push. ;-)
BFP(4) DD2 born 2.14.13 @ 35w5d due to pPROM
I'm going to start demanding a present every time I leave the bathroom.
It's a girl!
For my DD my husband went a little overboard and got me a really nice necklace with her birthstone. He actually kind of hated the idea of a push present, until he watched me go through labor and delivery all natural, then he took it upon himself to get me something LOL.
This time we definitely don't have the funds for something so extravagant but I'm hoping to get something with this LO's birthstone as well. I'd be more than happy having it be a combo gift though since my birthday is the first week of May along with Mothers day.
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
Ha ha!! Yes! Totally agree! What do the mamas that have Csections get?
I know DH has heard of the idea of a "push present," but we've not discussed it. Coming home from the hospital to a clean house is probably the best gift I could receive.
Lmao!!! I was just reading this post to my husband and we both thought this is hilarious. He said he's going to demand a push present in this case as well.
I wouldn't call it a new fad, I've heard of these many years ago (when a friend's DH asked for my help with ideas!). I like the idea of jewelry as it's a nice memento, something that doesn't break or become obsolete, and I can pass it down to my daughter when she's an adult. I do think it's up to each couple if they want to do it and what budget. My DH had never heard of it, but that doesn't mean they are automatically not interested. I think as a PP said, after seeing everything you go through with pregnancy and birth (even if it's a CS -that's a big friggin deal), most dads would want to do something special for you, whether it's a gift or something intangible.
My DH and I were at a jewelry store 1 week before the BFP and I saw a bracelet with my birthstone that I loved. When he was busy telling me that I was not pregnant and just worrying about nothing, I made him a bet - if I'm not pregnant, then he got something he wanted (I can't remember what now), and if I was pregnant, then I'd get the bracelet as my push present. I had to explain to him the concept, LOL. Obviously, I won the bet!
But overall, just do what works for you. We didn't give each other wedding presents because we spent a lot of money on our wedding, and I wasn't upset about it, my present was my groom. But I do know that after all this, I would like a little something! I don't think there's anything wrong with dropping hints to him so he knows, after all men are not mind readers!
Me too. I told DH he better not, and if he felt like spending some money, he should consider me staying home longer....
HAHAHAHA!
A beautiful, sweet baby. And a massive italian grinder. Sounds perfect to me. And yep, never would have called it a push present.
Get out of my brain!!!

My friend brought it up to my dh not me. She flat out asked him what he was getting me on New Years. I don't expect anything. I do want a new charm for my Pandora bracelet after the baby is born but I don't want it for a push present. My bracelet was a gift for being the godmother to my niece. I currently have a corss and her inital on it. I want a charm for her sister and for my new baby this way it will be full of things for the people who are the most important to me.
I asked DH for this really cute locket necklace...it is a bird's nest with two blue robin's eggs inside of it. If he doesn't get it, I plan to get it for myself.
