If my DH had spent a ton of money on jewelry when the kids were born, I'd have been pissed - especially with so many childcare bills around the corner.

I feel the same- would rather spend the money on all the diapers, wipes, aquaphor, 5 extra sets of pump parts, etc to care for kid while exclusively pumping than on jewelry.

It doesn’t have to be diamonds. I wrote earlier that I did laser hair removal on my legs. Get creative.

i mean i did make my husband by a roomba shortly before I delievered... didn't think of it as a push present

It’s the tradition in my culture for close family members to give substantial jewelry gifts for the new baby. DH snuck in a few pieces for me too.

Most of my jewelry has actually come from my parents and ILs. My DH will buy me stuff from Costco jewelry and call it a day.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Costco jewelry. It’s real.

2nd baby we just got a new larger car and I didn’t want anything
3rd baby he got me a 3 stone diamond ring (to symbolize 3 babies). It was also our 10th anniversary and my 35th birthday. I wear it instead of my engagement ring.

Absolutely cute. 🥰

Me? No. I am usually taken out on Mother’s Day to a restaurant of DH’s vegan/vegetarian choosing. I do not get other gifts

I was in diapers during my last pregnancy because I couldn’t make it to the bathroom on on time. My hips would get stuck in the middle of the walk to bathroom. I don’t care if you had an easy pregnancy. Gifts for all 😂

I love a girl’s girl!!! 😍😍😍😚

Depends. Sometimes I tell him no gifts. I’m just not a huge gift person so there isn’t always something I want. My DH is the same way so this goes both ways. We celebrate in other ways.

Do caesarean birth women get push presents. They shouldn't because they don't push. What a truly stupid gift grab for gift whores!

The birth gift doesn’t have to be given on the day of delivery. I personally think all women should get some kind of gift from their spouse. Pregnancy isn’t fun and it’s a good way to acknowledge that. My husband isn’t good with gifts so I plan a gift usually after the delivery. A massage anything. Gifts don’t have to be fancy.

It trivializes one of the very few consequential and life-changing days of your existence.

I know people get triggered by the idea of a “push present” - please just think of it as a celebratory gift you deserve for putting your body through pregnancy and childbirth.

You don't deserve anything for that. You're not "putting your body through pregnancy and childbirth" FFS like it's some huge undertaking that is unusual. Women have been getting pregnant and giving birth since the dawn of mankind, and it's far easier now than ever thanks to modern medicine. You're doing it because you want a child/children.

Such a gross way to look at things. The term is as vile as the concept is stupid.

Or entitled narcissists who always think they deserve a present since they're the first person ever to do something.

Men have been dying in wars since the dawn of time, why do they need a holiday? See how you sound?

I'm not a push present person but you're pathetic for trying to act like pregnancy and childbirth is nbd.
