Are you expecting a ‘push present’ from your partner?
Just wondering what’s ‘normal’ for you, ladies, and if you have told your partner what you would like to get or this is not something you’re expecting or even thinking about. :)
Where I’m from the husband is expected to bring flowers and chocolates when he comes to take the mom and the newborn home, and have a present for the mom, a jewelry most often. They don’t need to give the present in public but it’s considered a sweet appreciation gesture which would disappoint the mom if skipped.

I know people do them but it's not something we did with the first and not something I'm expecting this time. To be honest, he was just as flustered and tired as me after baby came along, he was back and forth at home taking care of everything and I assume he'll be doing the same this time. I don't expect him to remember to bring everything we need to go home and also buy me something. I'm not keen on chocs, don't like cut flowers and could prob think of 100 other essential baby/postpartum things he could use the money on if he got jewellery. I'd rather his time, attention and help with baby.
Not something I would expect or have thought about personally 😊
I also didn’t expect or thought about a push present but really happy for the ladies that gets them
Personally not something I’d expect .. you both chose to have the baby and you both have struggles in your own way , him being there for you should be enough of a ‘gift’ as some ladies don’t even get that (but that’s just my opinion)
Apart from flowers I don’t expect anything :)
Not something that I’d need/want. We are in this together ❤️ best present for him to show up as a new dad and support/help in the recovery process
