  sure.  IT is a present given to you by your spouse after delivering the baby.

  Its a gift that your DH gives you after the birth of your child. Like a piece of jewelry

  It's a present for you from your DH for when you have the baby.

  
  

  Lots of people think they are stupid and/or unnecessary.

  
  

  I told my DH he sure as hell better get me something lol. (just cause I'd want something for the sentimental value )

  It's a present for pushing your baby out.
  I told DH that he has no choice but to get me one...and that it has to be sushi and a retinol mask. That's all I want :-)
  
  Seriously, the phrase "push present" makes me cringe. So do the women who insist on them. If my husband wants to do something nice for me, he can. It's certainly not an expectation, though (except for the sushi and retinol skin products).
  
  The way I see it is that I'm getting a beautiful baby boy out of this deal. That's more than enough for me.

  I think they're tacky. The baby IS the present.

  FWIW - I think the idea of getting your partner a present to commemorate the birth of your child is great, especially if said partner had the idea on their own. I don't like the demanding aspect that is often associated with "push" presents - e.g. "I want a Tiffany ring when given to me because I pushed a baby outta my vag!!"
  

  This. Who cares if other people's husbands want to buy them presents? I've said it before and I'll say it again: if my husband wants to buy me something sparkly, I'm not turning it down.

  The whole baby is the gift stuff is crap...nothing that shits that much is a gift. Except a puppy.

  
  

  I have no issue with push presents...as long as you're not going around demanding one...plus a card and a trip on your anniversary.

  I straight up told H a really good present for future reference would be something with all our birthstones.
  
  
  Me too! Love it. I'd love a birthstone eternity band to wear on my wedding ring finger, and when my husband asked me what I wanted (unsolicited, mind you) I told him so.

  In laughing envisioning your husband walking in the hospital with these items.
  
  I highly doubt my husband knows what a push present is so I don't expect one. If he gets one then great. If not, I will live. DH is bad with presents on occasions but then will surprise me with flowers or gifts for no reason. His "surprise" gifts mean more to me anyway. Zero expectations. He just did it to make me happy.

  "A push present is a reward given to the mom in labor after every push... like a dove chocolate or scooby snack."
  
  "A push present is a another name for poop - 'cause it comes out when you're pushing."
  

  OOOOOOO! Now I could go for this lol.

  Champagne! Such a good idea! I also like the birthstone idea but he would have to wait on that since we are on the Nov/ Dec border.

  I have wanted a Cartier Love ring for years and I am pretty sure H is getting me one with baby's name engraved in it. And that makes me happy!
  
  I'm all for push presents! And no I didn't demand it.

  All I want is alcohol, and a chocolate chip cookie cake. It's my 5th baby, and if my husband bought me a gift I'd probably look at him like he grew a second head.

  Gifts are not one of my love languages. Last time DH brought me Indian takeout and gave me a neck and shoulder rub. I was the happiest gal in the world. Outside of my sore crotch.

  I doubt MH even knows what a push present is...therefore I highly doubt I will be getting one. Although I do not think they are necessary by any means nor would I ask for one, but I also wouldn't object to it

  My hubby is not a big gifter.  Its really hit or miss.  But when we had our second boy (5 yrs ago) he really surprised me.  He saw a funky looking cactus in the hospital flower shop and gave that to me. The card said, "This unique plant reminded me of our boys - beautiful and unique, just like you."

  The plant and the card were simple and perfect.  And despite me not having a green thumb - that plant is still going strong and shows signs of new growth every year. A push present doesn't have to be grand or sparkly, just something to commemorate the next stage of your growing family.

  I joked with DH about a push present when I was pregnant with DS.  He actually did end up surprising me with a three stone diamond necklace to symbolize us becoming a family of three.  It is extremely special to me but I didn't expect it.  This time around DH looked at me and said he wasn't sure he could afford a four stone diamond necklace.  I laughed and asked him not to get me anything.  I told him the only thing I want after labor this time around is a big plate of sushi that includes tuna.
