If we had the money and vacation days after paying for childcare, taking time off work after baby is born, and accounting for daycare sickness and closures, I would want a postpartum doula, night nurse, and/or babysitter in the year after baby arrives. Then, I'd want a vacation getaway after weaning. - Mom of two.

I was hoping this thread would be a debate over which concept and term is more obnoxious. So disappointed.

Babymoon for sure.

If the push present is meant to be passed down to your child, does that mean if your next child is a boy you’ll have to buy the gift for your DH to pass down instead?

The next post is about annoying millennials... So appropriate here!!

I find these concepts so incredibly basic and ridiculous. Take vacations and buy jewelry when you want. There doesn’t have to be any relation to pregnancy. And don’t get me started on gender reveals!

You sound annoying.

Ugh.


So now we’re passing along push presents to children when they’re. 16 along with the other boards of gifts.


I say take the vacation. Haven’t you received enough sentimental gifts? Isn’t your baby your push present? I know this answer is snarky and “not helpful” but my goodness what a dilemma!

What did you have in mind for a push resent?

+. Enjoy your last relaxing vacation before baby comes. You can always get some jewelry later.

I would try to do both because you will both need the much-needed rest before the baby comes and carrying a baby, laboring and delivering is no joke. L & D is something you do by yourself and you should be rewarded for that.

I second that you can get an inexpensive necklace or ring (plain sterling silver or gold) to commemorate this time.

Baby moon for me.

I have a Helen Ficalora necklace with initials for each kid that I like but it wasn’t a push present per se.

Baby moon for sure. We went away while pregnant with each kid and those memories are precious. Besides, you won't get a nice vacation together for quite a while.

A push present can be a pearl pendant or something from etsy that's about $50. It's just something special that DH picks out.

OP here, my DH offered a baby moon or a push present. I’m trying to decide which one I’d rather have DH give me. I like the idea of going somewhere warm before the baby arrives and it would be nice that both of us can enjoy the gift together. However, I really like the idea of having a piece of jewelry or something similar because I can pass it on to DD when she is 16.

WWYD?

Are there other alternatives? Could you suggest a few? Thank you in advance.
