"Push" Gift for DH

Anyone getting their SO or DH a gift? My husband has been awesome with all the complications plus my regular crazy so I wanted to get him something special. Any ideas? All I can think of is a watch.

Yup, my thoughts exactly!
When our DS was born, I bought this for my husband (Tiffany compass) --> https://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=14486089
I had it engraved and wrote him a meaningful letter about how I could not have hoped for a better man to be the rock of our family and keep us going in the right direction. He still has it on his personal desk and treasures it. It's been there for over 8 years. :-)
For DD, I bought him a watch which he still wears, too.
With this child, I bought him his very own diaper bag and am going to fill it for him. The idea being that he is an equal and primary caregiver and shouldn't have to "share" mine.
Have fun finding something meaningful for your Dh!
This!
Before everyone jumps on the he is getting a baby band wagon. I want ideas in addition to this wonderful baby he is getting.

The compass idea is sweet, not sure if hubby would like it but its such a nice sentiment.

I hadn't thought of engraving the watch....what did you put on yours?

I think a watch is good idea, if it is something YH will use or would like. MH already has 2, so it isn't something he needs right now.
I will probably be getting MH a new computer. He needs one and we have been putting it off in favour of new appliances and baby things. We can afford it now, and DH has been incredibly supportive, helpful and overall awesome throughout my pregnancy.
I agree with mirrored that of course, being a supportive husband is a normal expectation during pregnancy, but I do think MH has gone above and beyond and deserves some recognition for all of his hard work over the past several months. There's nothing wrong with showing appreciation for your spouse when they are especially awesome!

I wasn't planning on getting FI anything extra, he's getting the boy he's always dreamed of (complete with his name being passed on), but now that I think about it, I may get him one of those handheld satellite GPS that will save coordinates and go off-road and stuff, for when he goes hiking, hunting, caching, etc.
Yes to the concept of commemorating the birth of your LO, a big "no" to calling it a "push present". That just makes zero sense. Man's not pushing.

I'd like to get DH a little something to celebrate our first child together, but I'm not really sure what he'd like to have. His birthday is close to our EDD and I keep asking him what he would like for that and he keeps saying a healthy daughter. So I'm kinda stumped. He might get a card from me, with a letter of how much I appreciate his support. I know he'll keep it with all the other cards and letters I've given him over the years.
Nope, no push presents for either side here. We will both just be extremely grateful to meet our baby boy. While my husband has been great with the complications we've had, I'm not getting him a gift for it. I've gone through just as much (and more) than he has anyway, and a baby is gift enough. The only one getting a gift will be our DD. We got her a small gift from her baby brother that she'll get when my parents bring her to visit in the hospital.
DH's birthday is also on 4/11, and our 5-year anniversary is on 4/14...so if either of us get each other anything, it will be for that.
