Hopefully a healthy baby and a quick recovery 🙏 that's all I'm hoping for xox

Not planning a push present per se, just asked my mum and my husband to bring me my favourite foods, and I’m going to book myself in for a massage, pedicure and the hairdresser as soon as things are a bit more routine with the baby 😃😂

Avatar

I’m not pushing so my baby will be my present ha

Avatar

Genuinely didn't even think this was a thing. Mind blown. All I want is a healthy baby in my arms 🥰 no other present comes close.

Avatar

I haven’t asked for anything but I think my boyfriends going to get me a new pair of trainers I’ve seen, that is when my feet aren’t swollen 🤣

Avatar

I don't need any presents, I just need the support after and that will be gift enough...

Avatar

My son is nearly 4 months and I’m still waiting for mine 🤣🫤

Avatar

Didn’t even know a push present was a thing! I just want a healthy baby and to have my mum and partner in the delivery room with me

Avatar

Mine came early in the form of an engagement ring 💍, I’m glad he chose not to give me it in the hospital 😂

New trainers 😂

I was too high off meds at the time to realise I got chocolates - thanks for reminding me I’ve had my eye on a new bag 😝🤣

Avatar

I’ve asked for a pizza (stuffed crust) with lots of pepperoni 🥰 And maybe some of those delightful dipper things you can dunk in the garlic sauce.

Avatar

The baby at the end of it….?

I never knew this was a thing I had 2 babies and we never did this or even a baby shower or lastly a gender reveal it's crazy how many things are coming into play.I would just want a healthy baby because that's the best thing in world you need.Lots of ppl never had push presents and they have been having babies for yrs, everything always comes down to money.

Avatar

us mamma’s go through a lot during pregnancy, there’s no harm in enjoying things like push presents, baby showers or gender reveals. They may not have been a thing before, but people can still chose to do it now. It’s totally personal choice

Avatar

wow really but that's been going yrs thought always been that way.

Avatar

Ik we do and I'm not saying if ppl wanna do this they shouldn't but having a healthy baby is far more important than a present that Is your present. some ppl do not even get to have that so I'd rather cherish that moment.I mean what is (mother's Day for) right right there is Ur push present day I say.

Avatar

of course a healthy baby is the most important thing, no competition. But a gift from your partner is also something nice to receive. A push present doesn’t mean that you are ungrateful for your baby

Avatar

umm 🤔 I guess my push present will be thank you my beautiful husband for looking after me through this difficult first trimester and doing all the things I could not do 🥰

Avatar

wow I do admit I like the ring tho 🙈 and the baby reveal baby shower cute each to there own but push present noo if you have a supportive partner that's been there helping you every step of the way and been patient till your in second trimester he not need to get me a thing and my healthy baby in my arms is thx enough

Avatar

that’s totally fine for you, but that doesn’t entitle you to shame other women who do get gifts by saying that the baby should be enough. Each to their own, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my gender reveal, baby shower and push present ☺️

Avatar

good for you ☺️

Avatar

quite literally my point, if it’s good for you then you don’t need to criticize others for their choices 💁🏼‍♀️

Avatar

no not me You like you said everyone has option I'm putting mine out there simple all Money plain and simple baby shower Lovely American idea to come to the UK gender reveal again lovely push present 🎁 (That is what mother's Day is for ) my opinion but everyone is different ppl join the next best thing and then it becomes a thing cant wait to hear what's next 🤗

Avatar

you’ve commented on a post which was asking what people are getting for a push present, if it’s not your thing then just scroll past. Also I hope you don’t buy Christmas presents, since that’s not what Christmas is amount 🙄

Avatar

I don't think she is "shaming" other women

Avatar

First I wanted to know what push present was then I was shocked to find out I'm not shaming anyone each to there own I'm untitled to my own personal opinion as someone else's has put Scroll up love and I'm sure others will comment also

Avatar

thank you I'm not each to there own but ppl are going to have an option on this if not me someone Elles

Avatar

and what has Xmas go to do with birth presents 🤔 Christmas for me is giving to see a smile on a love ones face it's not amount the money it's about the time spent as a family enjoying that special moment I'd save up all yr to see that smile

Avatar

Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus, but it turned into a celebration where presents are given. Completely agree with you that is lovely to see peoples reactions and enjoying the moment, but that’s the same concept as a push present. My partner saved to buy me a gift to see me smile, whether it’s given at the birth of my child or another occasion it’s the same concept

Avatar

yes but sadly that is a religious thing I'm all for this birth of Jesus which is the true meaning of Christ mas and it's come commercialised big time since I was kid kinda sad but worth seeing kids faces happy. When you put it like that that a sweet kind thing your partner did for you saving up but Hun on mothers day it's just that extra special I felt.

Avatar

I will never forget my first mothers day present a cook book and my ex gave her a pen and helped her draw a picture as she was only a baby so special.

Avatar

That’s a lovely memory, some people find push presents a lovely memory also. My point is everyone has different feelings on it but as mothers we should support eachother. The lady who posted this was just asking what people are asking for, so the only comments needed on this were the ones answering the question

Avatar

a healthy baby is my only present 🎁 anything else is a kind gift and a blessing

Avatar

om you got a ring 💍 congrats 🥳 now thats a memory

Needing friends.

Hey I’m a 20yo mom to a super cute 6week old baby girl. I’ve been struggling to make mom friends more my age since I’m a bit younger. I love going on walks and hikes with her, or taking her out to grab a sweet treat. I really just want some to connect with, someone who knows what it’s like. Text me or let me know if you’d like to chat! 🤍🍼

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Why am I so pathetic...

I just cant walk away from this "friendship" that is so glaringly obviously one way..I go 3 days feel great and then just end up caving in and messaging to see how they are

I feel im worth more than this however something in me is clearly desperate to retain the 1 friend I have 😔 even writing this is sound so stupid

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏
