How old are you and why are you hanging out on this board?

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.

The majority of women having babies right now are ~Millennials~ so if she wants to insult an entire generation I suggest she take it somewhere besides a board of mostly, you know, millennials. I don't head over to the old lady boards and complain about boomers ruining this country.

I don't get the appeal of a babymoon but maybe I was more uncomfortable during pregnancy than others. I opted for a week away with DH when DD1 turned 1yo. I could eat what I wanted, drink when I wanted, travel where I wanted, and do what I wanted. Traveling when pregnant would not have been enjoyable for me, nor relaxing. In short, go for the push present and take a nice vacation as a reward for parenting for a year.

It's all kind of nauseating.

Yes! So attention grabby and ridiculous.

NP here. We did both. I enjoyed travelling while pregnant.

Take the money you'd spend on either and put it into a 529 for the child.

You are ridiculous.

OP is obviously 26 and a half.

I am 31 and had no idea what a push present or baby moon is. Kind of ridiculous OP is stressing about this. I would much rather go on vacation after the baby arrives.

The "push present" is your healthy baby. Obviously.

Both. A romantic, relaxing getaway to a luxurious resort and glittering jewels to wear during the actual birth.

I also believe that grandparents should offer to watch the baby so we can get away as a couple once I'm recovered enough to travel again. It's important to invest time in each other and into your marriage.

I'm practical to a fault and would prefer to see that money go towards our child's college fund. Boring, I know.

Hahahaha you won’t be going anywhere after the baby arrives. At least not for awhile.

As someone who is sending a child to college this year, I cannot stress HOW IMPORTANT it is to start saving for that immediately.

Some are able to save for college and afford a few luxuries for themselves, be it a baby moon or push present.
