Push presents- What is your opinion on this one?

Okay so this is my first post and so far I have not seen one on this topic.

All married ladies and gentlemen- What do you think of push presents? For any not familiar with this term, it is usually a gift a husband gives the wife after child birth in gratitude for giving him the biggest joy of all in life

P.S singles also chime in.

 

This is usually a contentious issue among many even in US. Mainly because some women really expect their husbands to give them something really expensive. Obviously for any mother, a healthy baby is the biggest gift of all.

But I think usually in Indian culture, new mothers are given lots of gifts and pampered a lot during and after pregnancy. My father gave my mom gifts after her deliveries. So my take is if the husband wants to buy something for his wife that is really sweet. It does not have to gifts- what did your husband do to make you feel loved?

Please share what was your experience. What is the best most touching thing your husband did after your delivery?

 

That is why I said - does not have to be material- it can be the special care and understanding that husbands bring into the relationship. Men dont feel everything women go through no matter how much they read and are part of it. Love and understanding of what a women goes through go a long way in strengthing a relationship.

 

Just want to add that- the post is not to judgemental but more to take in a lighter fun sprit.

No mother or father would say anything but a healthy baby is the biggest gift.

I believe it is an overwhelming and joyous occasion for any parents and the mother experience it first hand. Husbands are mostly helpless when their wives go through so much to go birth to their child. And so each and every father responds to the overwhelming moment in different manner. Whatever way they express their joy, as long as it is sensitve to the mother, there is no right or wrong wayy.

 

I don't think even if is it is, anyone will call it that . But a few months ago a good friend of mine who was expecting was telling me about it. I was taken aback simply because she had something very specifc she wanted from Cartier

@ Rihanna- if you mean c-section- well good question because that is had she had and she still got her "push present".

In India, I am sure not many mom's are mentioning push presents- mostly token gifts to commorate birth rather than demands of expensive jewellery
