Kinda just wondering how many of you have heard of a "push present". I heard of it recently! And I'm expecting, so I like the idea Wink

I don't think my husband has ever heard of it. So I just sent him pics of a few things I want and told him I'd like them as a push present, waiting to hear his reaction πŸ˜„

I think the practice is much more popular than the term "push present," a term I consider a bit crude.

I hear that. I definitely didn't make up the term Wink but even before I heard the term, I don't think I knew it was a thing for the husband to give a wife a gift after birth. And just for the record, I think the hubby deserves something too!!

I learned about it from my OB/GYN. She was doing something uncomfortable to me and remarked to my husband that he should get me a push present for all this stuff I had to endure. Lol.

Allow me sum up every push present thread ever:

Amother #1: my push present was my baby. I don't need anything else

Amother #2: I've never heard of a push present till imamother. Who comes up with these things?

Amother #3: I think push presents are sweet! It's s nice way for my dh to show his appreciation for 9 months of nausea and back pain Smile

Amother #4: Amother #3, my husband appreciates me too but a healthy baby is all I need/want. Who needs another reason to spend money when you have a new baby anyway?

Repeat endlessly till the next thread.

I've only heard the term in Imamother. I always wonder if you still get one if you have a caesarean.

This is excellent! I rescind my comment. This is really all we need.

Except you forgot #5 who complains about the term and how it isn't classy enough.

Then you call it a "cut it out" present. And needs to be way more valuable.
I heard of the concept from my sister about 20 years ago but never told my husband about it. I'm the type of person that would rather get a heartfelt letter than a gift.

Why don't you just use a search engine to find dozens of such threads?

Amother #4 : the term is so vulger and non jewish. How did it ever infiltrate our circles??

Yes, you do. 'Push present' is a simple, memorable alliteration that is supposed to cover the whole process of being pregnant and laboring (if you even get so far as laboring) and getting the baby out.

Reminds me a bit of how I understand bottle and pacifier shaped cookies or decorations to be symbols of a new baby even though I personally never use bottles or pacifiers.

I first heard of a push present more than 30 years ago. From secular Jewish (also wealthy) people. They actually got real jewelry worth a fortune.

I heard of it and it bothers me.
Why do I get a present for being blessed by Hashem with the greatest blessing?

Should I get a present for eating healthy and exercising? Or for working hard to make parnossah?

All the best things in life require hard work as well as tremendous siyata dishmaya.
