Push Presents: does anyone do this?

BSnipes35 · April 2013

I have friends who have made huge deals about their DH buying them a. "Push Present". I think it's pretty silly. But I do expect flowers. What are your expectations from your SO?

My DH brought me a diet coke, cheddar cheese balls and a BK chicken Sandwhich, I considered him a saint!

lilybeth12 · April 2013

foot rubs and whatever I want to eat and drink after labor. I've never been all that into presents, push presents seem kinda crass to me.

I never expected it and thought they were greedy and stupid. BUT SIL made a huge huge fuss over making sure her H (DH's brother) got her an iPad and now BIL is nagging DH to see what DH is getting me. So this might wind up being a win-win for me.

I am demanding that my husband get a vasectomy. I'll call it my "push present". Although, if I end up with a csection I'll have them take care if business while they're in there. I figure after 3 pregnancies and pushing 4 babies out, not to mention almost

I want a med rare steak and buttery mashed potatoes once I have the baby. Home made, take out I don't care, but I desperately want this as a meal post delivery. Other than that, a healthy baby is my gift.

tiki8286 · April 2013

Never expect anything because that just gives you a reason to be disappointed. DH was with me the entire time, slept on the little cot went home to feed the cats and even folded laundry I started to fold when my water broke all without me ever asking. Th

I expect DH to not stand up and harass the Dr during the c-section... I usually throw the anesthesiologist to him. I get a ton of zofran and the constant drone keeps me from hearing things like "This baby is so far into her pelvis its got a cone head"

When I was pregnant with DD, there were quite a few women also pregnant at my husband's job. Several of them were DEMANDING presents like expensive jewelry from their husbands. It annoyed me and turned me off from the idea because its a gift...it shouldn'

NohNah · April 2013

I had never even heard of a push present, and certainly did not expect one, but someone mentioned it to my husband behind my back last time and convinced him it was a big thing and he needed to get me something. So he showed up at the hospital with an IPa

I've been trying to convince DH to be team green, and told him finding out gender can be my present. I haven't gotten a definite answer out of him yet...

StacBL · April 2013

This is my 3rd and I have never heard of a push present. That sounds nuts to me and my husband would probably laugh at me...I mean we are both being given the most precious "present" anyone could ask for.

I don't expect anything but I do love this idea:

Push presents are just not something H would ever think of and I'd never suggest it. We will have more necessary things to spend

JSB814 · April 2013

I hadn't heard of a push present till my younger sister asked if I wanted one but I don't care...I just want a healthy baby! My husband takes such great care of me and baby as it is...I couldn't ask for anything more ::cheesy I know but true!::

JSB814 · April 2013

Actually I might just ask for some carne asada fries for afterwards

marianaz0 · April 2013

I'm with you and think its extremely silly... I work in L&D and get to see some interesting "push presents"

I don't expect one nor do I want one... $ is better spent on baby things!

I DO expect my FI to be supportive while I'm in labor

MrsApplelovesMrApple · April 2013

I got sushi and Starbucks. Which I immediately threw up. But it was a nice thought.

GracieBlue · April 2013

I demanded (or more like pleaded) for a large coffee coolatta after dd was born. At the moment I would have traded jewelry, ipads, a new car - anything for that frozen wonder!

proctorcookie7 · April 2013

I've heard of it and think it's a nice gesture however I would never expect something nor feel badly for not getting something. I feel the baby is the gift and in the end my husband takes awesome care of me.

NL105 · April 2013

I don't expect anything. I may sound like a broken record, but this baby will be the greatest gift ever.

I do expect a couple burgers, a large soda and a large fry after delivery though. If DH can make that happen, I'll be that much more grateful

karenh773 · April 2013

My baby is my push present.

A friend of mine went to the jeweler where her DH got her engagement and wedding rings and created a wish list of items to math her ring set necklace, earrings, and right hand ring. She then had the jeweler call her hubby and tell him to come in "pick so

deebride1020 · April 2013

I never expected a thing but my hubby suprised me and took me shopping bought me some new clothes when my body finally bounced back. It was a nice lil suprise. He said I deserved it after watching what I went through lol

Bigboneded · April 2013

I am pretty sure I got my stuff up front beautiful engagement wedding ring custom designed, a vasectomy reversal to make this all possible and a wonderful man to share my life with the rest is just frosting...... Well, after the family ::smiles::

rbtrumpet · April 2013

Honestly, I'll be happy if DH makes it through labor and delivery without passing out! (he doesn't do so well with blood, AT ALL!)

Although after reading this thread, I'm thinking steak and fries sound like a good "push present" <img src="http:

Zilly13 · April 2013

I'm not expecting anything this time around, but wouldn't be mad if DH decided to do something.

missesru · April 2013

Not expecting anything and didn't get anything 'present-y' last time. My DH is a model "supportive husband". Throughout pregnancy and after. There is so much he doesn't understand but he asks me what I need and takes care of it. &nbsp

cortfarrar · April 2013

The only thing I expect is for him to be by my side. As long as my baby is healthy and I have my husband, everything will be perfect. Anything more will just be extra. To me, demanding anything is rude. I was just raised to not expect things from others t

h0b0girl · April 2013

I dont understand the idea of push presents... After all of our infertility struggles my DS was my present. I will feel the same way about this baby.

However, I was so happy to be over my gestational diabetes that the mini crumb cupc

sarenu1 · April 2013

My vote is for food. After laboring for more than 24 hours with my first I was so hungry and the hospital food was not the greatest.

This time I'm probably going to be sending my husband out for food after.

I'm also going to be fo

ShanaNChris · April 2013

I never expected anything for having our baby...but I guess I didn't technically push, I just had a crash c/s and me and the baby almost died.

My DH got me a Skor candybar in ICU because I was having a craving and could finally eat. Maybe that
