| Don’t pay any attention to the jealous posters who cite this is annoying. I would get a night nurse that came 2x/week as a push present. If you must do a baby moon and can afford it try a local trip. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, you do not want to labor without your Obstetrics team. |

Baby moon, push present, gender reveal etc etc
It's all kind of nauseating. |

| Oh my god - the BIGGEST eyeroll ever. Are you 25? |
Ha. Not jealous. We have plenty of money - about half of which I earn on my own, so I can buy myself nice things instead of being lame and saying "honey, you owe me something for birthing our child" which PLEASE, is so annoying. *If a night nurse is an option, dude, GO FOR IT. That's worth it. Stupid gold bracelet, not so much. |
Ok the gender reveals are annoying, but the baby moon and push presents are actually culturally socioeconomically based. The wealthy have almost always done this in some form, it’s only now that the rest of us are catching up. |
| I wish baby mooning was a big thing fifteen years ago when I was pregnant. I did get a beautiful piece of jewelry from my DH & an equally beautiful baby too. I’d definitely go for the night nurse it will be so nice for you. |
How old are you and why are you hanging out on this board? |
|
Definitely a babymoon.

| Push Present?! Wow, we have reached an all time new low as a generation. |
DP, why does her age matter? Some people get married younger and some older. Either way whatever works best for you the do it. I’m not a fan of gender reveals and having a baby shower but I not offended if that’s what someone else chooses to do. |
+1. This type of woman also likes pumpkin spice lattes and plaques that say “live...laugh...love” for hanging in the kitchen. |
I suggest you read the history of push presents or baby baubles. It’s not a “new money” concept. http://www.presentpush.com/push-present-history/ |
I feel you aren’t well-read and uncultured. This concept of push presents aren’t a new phenomenon. In fact, it dates back centuries just under a different name based on various cultures. Here’s a hint: There are Americans with other cultural backgrounds where gifting the new mom is an act of celebration for the new life that has entered into the family. |
