I think it's like any other gift giving situation- it's a sweet gesture but one should never expect it. I didn't know about them before DS, but MH surprised me in the hospital with an iPad (this was when they first came out) and said he thought it would be handy for taking photos. I thought it was super sweet and it came in handy for all those breastfeeding sessions.
DH gives me a present every year on my birthday even though I don't do anything. Is that weird? I'm assuming your answer is no. I put a whole lot of work into bringing a child into this world, so I don't think it's unreasonable for my husband to celebrate that.
I think they're absolutely ridiculous. But that didn't stop me from telling DH that I expect a new camera for my "push present." The look on his face was priceless. We'll see if he falls for it. That would be awesome if he did...because I REALLY want a new camera.

I'm so confused by this paragraph. Are we expecting a camera or not? And will there be repercussions if he doesn't pull through? ETA words
I think I will demand that my vagina be encrusted in diamonds when I'm done
This sounds like a painful piercing session. NMS, but people thought those grill things on the teeth were never going to take as a fashion trend either. I say go for it!!

I guess my humor has failed me, and my meaning was unclear. I absolutely don't expect a camera. I told my husband that I expect one as a joke. But part of me hopes he falls for the joke and actually buys me a camera. I know he won't though. Because he finds push presents as ridiculous as I do. Our baby will be present enough for both of us. But that does not stop me from wanting a new camera...
@tgrdance05 ...My thoughts are similar. My SO does so much for me that I wouldn't have the gall to expect something that recognizes my "hard work". Not sure the labour outweighs all the house work he does for us while I watch Grey's Anatomy!
I think the only women who expect them are wealthy women in certain circles and those who aspire too hard to be them. Other than that, I don't think it's that much of a thing.
I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw this post... I'm feeling totally thrown off, there is so much that comes with having a baby that I was not expecting.
I'm getting myself a push present - a kindle paperwhite so I can read during those eternal nursing sessions. I never got anything with my first (the paperwhite didn't exist but it would have been handy) but this time around I'm buying something I know I'll enjoy a lot postpartum.
So this is my first baby, but my partner's second. He's been telling me that he plans to get me something for when the baby is born, so I'm assuming he knows about push presents from his first baby, though I had no clue. However I'm pretty sure what he is getting me is a gym membership because he won't stop going on about how much weight I've gained and how I need to go once the baby pops out.

My husband was like "don't worry, you'll be back to your regular size a few months after the baby comes". I was like whaaaaat (he's usually super feminist/equality minded). He said "because you're crazy" nice save?? #enemies
If my husband doesn't get me a Mercedes it's fu... Over! Lol kidding I think the Internet has created some stupid sh.. #pushpresent #babymoon #genderreveal #lookatmelookatme it's sad, baby is the present!!!

If that's something you asked for and are into, then that's.... cool, I guess? If that's an unsolicited opinion on his part, your partner needs to be slapped. In the face. With a brick.

Haha! Thanks for your support girls! I asked him, and he is not getting me a gym membership. Though he told me that I do need to get one at my own motivation and he will take me on a 500$ shopping spree if I loose 20 pounds... You know, so I have clothes that fit.
