Your opinion of push presents aside, IF you could be speshul and request anything you wanted for your "push present" what would it be?!

Call me crazy, but a healthy baby is more than enough for me.

what is a push present..? a present for pushing a baby out of you?

Gingermom15 · January 2016

A full 8 hours of sleep sometime between when the baby is born and when they are 5.

My kid has been cluster feeding for two days now and I've been awake for 48 hours. I hold no more hope.

I understand that the baby is the ultimate gift. To me a push present is a way of my H saying thank you for everything I have gone through in the last 9 months. So when H suggested a push present, I wasn't about to say no. I got earrings with DS1 and will get a right hand ring for DS2.

dragonfly321 · January 2016

@Sarcasm101 of course the baby is the ultimate present!!! And I second what a push present means to you.

@cMichelle0423 not crazy.... That's why I said "for funsies"! Obviously the baby is the best present ever.... You know there is something you would ask for!

Wiki definition:: A push present (also known as a push gift, baby mama gift or baby bauble) is a present a father gives to the mother to mark the occasion of her giving birth to their child. In practice the present may be given before or after the birth, or even in the delivery room.

I like Sarcasm's definition better.
It started off as a celebrity thing. Kim K asked for a million dollar choker, lots get necklaces and rings and such with baby's birthstone

mamacastro · January 2016

Even though i'm technically not pushing anything since i'm having a RCS H and I already talked about it and he is getting me cheesecake. That's all i've wanted and looking forward to eating afterwards!

dragonfly321 · January 2016

@mamacastro yuuuuum!!!! Getting the food you havent been able to have is the best reward!

Push presents have been around long before Kim K. Celebrities have just brought more attention to the idea.

Sure the beginning sucks really bad but you'll definitely get a full night of sleep before your LO is 5. Just wait until your kid starts sleeping 12 hours a night. That shit is magical.

Bigboobsmcgee · January 2016

I got a Louis Vuitton purse before my first kid was born. It was right near our anniversary so I consider it an anniversary gift more so than a push present. My husband's jaw dropped when I told him there was such a thing as a "push present".

dragonfly321 · January 2016

I just really want an awesome, plush, comfy recliner. One that will be perfect to doze off in during those late night feedings with baby boy.

2goofykids · January 2016

My present is my baby, and that DH gets a week off from school for spring break starting the day I'm due. Not a whole lot of budget for push presents on a teacher's salary, but a week of just the 3 of us at home? Priceless.

msuzannah · January 2016

I want a boat load of sushi. I've been eating cooked rolls but I'm dying to have the real stuff.

kdebesche4 · January 2016

A nice chilled bottle of Chandon Rose.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about!!!

dramaphile · January 2016

I got a case of stout and a salami hoagie, and it was delicious. Sadly I couldn't get my hoagie till the next day because baby was born on thanksgiving and the shop was closed!

paytonpedro · January 2016

How about a nice cold strawberry piña colada!? Or better yet, a Miami vice! That would be my ideal push present. Haha. Just have it waiting in the delivery room, hunny!

I promise I'm not an alcoholic. Haha. It's just been one of my biggest cravings and a virgin one just doesn't do it for me. I plan on breast feeding so I'm still a while out before I'll have one.

ohmygod i cannot wait til my frist Blue Hawaiian after baby is born. i plan on BFing too, but I'm going to pump before i have one. i just want one.. desperately.

dragonfly321 · January 2016

GIVE ME ALL THE MARGARITAS.

nbc2015 · January 2016

Sushi. Beer. And a once-a-week house cleaner for the first 5 years. At this point I'm not sure which would be more magical.

PrimRoseMama · January 2016

My push presents have always been food. A great rare steak or beef tartar. Mexican martinis and the opportunity to get my hair done without any SOS texts. My husband has been amazing with my push presents (aside from the regular parenting he excels at) and I'd rather have these than a material thing. That's not knocking material presents, but I just would rather have something consumable.

Cowboycorgi · January 2016

I was joking with my husband the other day about this, and asked for a nice camera to take fancy baby picture.
Baby is due the day after my birthday, so baby will be the ultimate push present/ birthday present!

I bought myself a really nice bottle of red wine when we were wine tasting before IVF. That will be tasted with birthday cake as well.

sheslikeasunburn · January 2016

haven't "pushed" yet, but DH bought me a classic Cartier watch. I am also hoping for some nice bubbly in the hospital!

ammnam14 · January 2016

I requested a margarita and hubby did not fail me. DD was born one day before our anniversary. Although I did get tipsy after like 3 sips...being sober for 9 months really makes you a lightweight again.

I'm also going to add my parents were here helping us when we decided to make the margs. We just don't get buzzed with a newborn. Lol

Monkeybutt80 · January 2016

I do think it's a silly concept but during my last pregnancy, I brought it up and my husband did not object so I went with it. I'm NEVER going to pass on a present. I needed to get my engagement ring resized ( apart from the pregnancy swelling, 7 yrs after the engagement, my knuckles got larger before I got pregnant) so we got a new, more elaborate setting.
This time, with two kids going to daycare and college funds, he says he wants to buy me something but not as expensive. Ill take it! I'll probably opt for something shiny. I'm like a fish, I m drawn to shiny things.

ivyvines6 · January 2016

I want something with LO's birthstone in it, but nothing crazy. Maybe a knickknack or something? I have a feeling I'll be getting a smart water and a KitKat, and that's fine too!

surferP528 · January 2016

I would love a 3rd band for my wedding ring set. Nothing extravagant, but I think it would be cool to add a skinny band to symbolize the engagement, wedding and starting a family. What am I really going to get? Probably a diet coke and ibuprofen.

xkatiekx · January 2016

I've asked for a margarita but just for fun if I could ask for anything it would probably be something shiny with little ones birthstone in it or a really nice camera.

blueeyedrose86 · January 2016

Totally impossible with a newborn, but a full day away at the spa! Massages, hot tubs, mani/pedis, and drinks!

CompProf · January 2016

I'll second birthstone jewelry, but I'd also consider getting someone to clear the bushes out of the flower beds in our front yard to prep for roses. (I'm lobbying for this for Valentine's Day actually. . . It is family tradition to plant at least one rose bush when a baby is born.)

jonesl12 · January 2016

A flaming hot bubble bath and a bottle of wine sounds like a great gift.

ladylolly89 · January 2016

DH has already dropped hints about a bottle of Grey Goose. If he forgets, I'll be reminding him.

H told me he's bringing vodka to the hospital. Haha. I'm sure he's joking....

eivaska · January 2016

Housekeeping services for a few weeks would put me over the moon. But I would be perfectly content with a bottle of angry orchard and some sleep!

I would totally be okay if someone greeted me in recovery with a mimosa. A real one. None of that sparkling shit.

jenniferamcooper · January 2016

We're not into push presents but I'll be having some salmon gravalax and my fav wine as a toast post baby (just 1/2 glass since I'm nursing).

Another PP mentioned about a spa day. My LO was born in Feb and my husband planned a spa day (hot tub, salt scrub, Vichy shower and massage) for me for Mother's Day! It was totally doable. At the time I had some emergency bottles pumped lol, spa day was an emergency. As a FYI the next year I got a coloured picture, we were only fancy for the first year lol
