Whaaaat? I didn't get presents! LOL

When my first was born, my own mother brought my husband a congratulatory cake and the nurses gathered around him and his cake. I was invisible. I finally got the attention of one nurse and she gave me a Motrin.

Pffffttt... Push presents. What Ever!!! 😂

While he didn’t call it that, my husband got me a lovely baby blue stone necklace the day our son was born. It also happened to coincidentally be his birthstone!

I think I got my wife something. I didn't call it a "push present", though. That sounds stupid.

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

what about this one trophy... my ex would have asked me to shove that gift up my hill...

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

I haven’t received one, but I’m not so sure if I would want one. I would rather have my man gift me his affection, love , and attention while I get my body back to how I want it to be and care for a child also. Post partum depression sounds horrifying

lilyanony1 · Answer

I think flowers or chocolates something along those lines are sufficient if we're already married. If not maybe an engagement ring. I mean having your partners baby is a big commitment why not legalise it.

But that's what I would like if I were a in that position.
Just saying..

Apple1996 · Answer

I think they're stupid. The baby is a better gift then anything materialistic. I've had 3 babies and would never want a gift for pushing

Daniela1982 · Answer

I've never even heard of one. Did you make that up?

TheorionMage · Answer

Back in the day, some 70 years ago, my Dad bought my Mom a genuine full length mink coat with MY birth.
With the eventual arrivals of my subsequent brothers, the 'cash & prizes' progressively grew lesser.

Agape93 · Answer

Its stupid.  Hey honey, I see we spent thousands of dollars, months of time and put your life, health and future at risk. So I got you a toaster

Stupid same as baby moon seriously why should the guy have to get the girl a present or take her on a baby moon she helped to create the bundle of joy it wasn’t just him you should be thankful that you were even able to fall pregnant and carry the baby that alone should be treated as a gift as there is many of us who will never be able to fall pregnant or have our own baby

horatiohornblower · Answer

Just sounds like another pointless reason to buy more crap. Enough’s been spent getting the nursery ready and baby proofing the house. The baby is the gift.

MrHopper · Answer

Seems like another way to milk people by having babies along with baby showers, gender reveals, christening/baptism. When I was a baby you may have got congratulations card 😬

KAT247 · Answer

Kind of ridiculous considering that the woman did something that needed to be done for the child’s and her survival. The fact that both survive is “push present” enough.

TadCurious · Answer

Bella I have to admit that I didn't know this was a thing. But if it's proper etiquette I would certainly want to do it for the mother of my child.  🤰

SnakeBoop · Answer

Meh, I just hope to get a dinner/food of my choice for the first meal afterwards XD Both of mine I got some mcdonalds after XD

ally018 · Answer

I think it would be sweet if you did get her something as simple as flowers to show you are thankful and there for her.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I have never been a Father but I do like the idea of giving push presents to Moms who have just given birth but who knows... God might Bless me with a Child and yes I would give her a push present.

pink_and_inlove · Answer

In the future I don’t expect one but still that would be sweet. Maybe after giving birth I’d just expect for him to either cook for me or buy me food I don’t know if I’d expect more that and helping with the child as well

hi_it_is_me123 · Answer

Since it is materialistic it is stupid to me. It is like paying the women for giving birth to his child.
