No but I bought myself a Burberry trench coat as a well done for pushing out a baby from me to me 🤣🤣
Maybe I’m being a bit oversensitive or maybe it’s more hormones…. I got him some cufflinks saying best dad. A week later it was my birthday. I didn’t even get a present nor a card saying Mum. Valentines I got some weeds. I got him a decent present. I just feel a bit pissed off. Since baby has come along he just hasn’t thought about me. It’s bloody hard carrying a baby. Just something sentimental that’s all.
Following.. not had our baby yet but my husband has asked me what type of ring I want for my push present so I think I must be getting one. my friends all got eternity rings to go ontop of their wedding/engagement rings so he must have overheard! I didn’t expect a present!
I don’t have a partner, and I had a c section, but my friend did look after me whilst being sick after having the baby and cleaned her first pooey nappy .. that was my present 😂😂😂😂
I got a name necklace of our daughter’s name. I told him I wanted that though and ordered it myself he just paid x
@Katie louise well done you! Bringing up a baby by yourself? Is something else! It’s hard work!!
I didn’t get a present after my c section, but i treated myself to a makeup set 😂 I also have to remind my partner that i’d like something from our son for my birthday/christmas/mothers day etc even if it’s just a card. Not sure about your partner but mine just doesn’t really think, so i just have to make hints and hope for the best 😂
I think the whole "push present" is quite an American thing. However deffo think you should of got something for your birthday!
No coz its weird lol
No - I got my baby and that was special enough. I also had never heard of a push present until using these mum apps, so I'm pretty sure my husband didn't even know it was a thing. (If I'm honest I'm not even sure its a thing, especially in the uk)
I asked for mine 😂 I got a necklace with their birth stone on each time.
No 🙃 despite dropping hints / saying be nice to have one 😂😂😂 after birth I got myself one - a necklace with mine and babies name on it 🥰🥰🥰
My husband bought me a new iPad for our youngest. The lovely child it was a push present for now thinks said iPad is hers, she loves doing puzzles and drawing on it. 😩😩🤣 It’s ok though she’s having fun that’s all that matters to me.
Never hard of this before. I don't think we have this in the UK.

Surely the baby is a gift enough! 😜
@Rebecca why is it weird when you’ve literally risked your life to bring a beautiful child into the world it’s nice to have something to show appreciation for that
Not yet, but I’ve booked a head spa in for the beginning of May and told him he’s paying for it ☺️
I got some diamond earrings which I’ll then pass down to my baby girl when she’s older
@Becky (Can't see waves) I’m in the UK, it’s definitely more an American thing but it’s made way over here too
No, I had asked - half joking - for something.. but he did then propose a couple of months later so that makes up for it😂 My best friend came to visit in the hospital and got me a charm with LO initial 🥰 I will say you have a right to be pissed about your birthday! but I also sometimes think men just don’t think the way we do 🙄
Yeah I used a friend to help me as I didn’t want a partner but wanted a baby! Wouldn’t change it though! She’s got a big brother too so he helps a little bit like getting me things for her! x
I don’t even think it’s the word push present. To me it’s more of a sentimental thing, I’ve carried your child for the last nine months can you please recognise it?
Exactly
My partner had no clue about the idea of a push present, I think it’s very much an American thing, so I told him about and guided him on something I’d like as a meaningful present, he agreed 🤣 don’t leave it to chance ladies, don’t ask don’t get 🤣🤣🤣
My husband got me a subscription to blood & wild, so I get monthly Flowers to the house. I really enjoy having Flowers in the house and it makes me feel happy. It was more of a joke as a push present, as it is an American thing. But the sentiment behind it is really sweet I think. X
We got our baby 😂 it’s pathetic the way people go on about push presents when you’ve got baby xx
@Alexandra the term "push present" is weird AF. What if you didn't push your baby out? My partner doing his fair share with the baby and allowing me to rest as much as possible after birth is enough. Your partner should be taking care of you during pregnancy anyway! Mine did, he was buying me treats etc.
Wow I think some mums here are being quite nasty. Just because YOU don’t want a present, you could just say you weren’t bothered or never felt you needed one and let other mums be happy without calling them pathetic or weird.
@Annie you could of tagged me it would be better I didnt say mums were pathetic wanting one I just said it was pathetic the way it’s used as meaning everyone wants a push present it’s only became a recent thing that Americans do don’t get me wrong I was giving flowers off my partner when I had my little girl but I wouldn’t class that as a push present
