I guess I could see a bit of both depending on the guy.</p> <p>And you're right - not every guy is like that.. I apologize for the generalization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338909 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:35:07 +0000 mrbee 338909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Sure it's not uncommon to be proud. But I was never smug or conquest-y... as far as I know, at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338902 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:30:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: really?? my husband was pretty smug at first... then it morphed into general excitement so I guess it wasn't like that the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338619 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:55:33 +0000 mrbee 338619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I don't think that's how most men feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338579 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:42:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krsmall: Oh I know right!! It's like a conquest for them... "yeah... I got her pregnant" and then they're all smug. gross. *slaps* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338576 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:42:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: bahahahha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338569 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:41:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bahahaha yeah... like DH did SO much work :P seriously... you guys get the better end of the deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338503 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:23:04 +0000 Mrs. Blue 338503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. I guess Mr. Blue sort of did since I gave him a watch as part of how I told him I was pregnant. Starting trends over here at the Blue house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-338307 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:06:18 +0000 birdofafeather 338307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessicaMcB: ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337653 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:55:40 +0000 JessicaMcB 337653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had sex 21 times in a 21 day period in which I had to do all the work because of his back injury. Pretty sure I am the one who deserves the conception present :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337650 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:53:07 +0000 heffalump 337650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah not only do we push but we go through nine months of growing/carrying the baby. The boys job in making the baby is the fun part!</p> <p>That being said, I'm still in the camp where my LO was my push present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337646 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:51:03 +0000 mediagirl 337646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that's what I say a Push Present is! The baby! For both of us.</p> <p>Although....it is kind of a good idea if you're into gifts like that. Mommy gets a gift for pushing the baby out, Daddy gets a gift for ...well....you know. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337644 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:50:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 337644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337641 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:49:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 337641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337639 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:48:51 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 337639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um, no! lol i'm with @jojogirl (your comment was awesome!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337627 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:41:43 +0000 Smurfette 337627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: LOL!

DH bragged about his super sperm when we told people I was pregnant... his conception gift was the fact I was his DD.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337520 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:57:25 +0000 dagret 337520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband bought a 50 cc dirt bike for our unborn son and he's getting it restored...I'd call that his conception present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337501 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:38:18 +0000 Cherrybee 337501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know what, I think I will get him something. He wants a new Kindle (he stood on his!), maybe I'll get him one. </p> <p>The opinion here seems to be that additional BDing is a good enough present and I'd agree normally but my poor husband is hating this process - he can't take his medication (as it causes bith defects) - so he's in a lot of pain and tired all the time and the BD marathons are actually quite a chore for him, I think. </p> <p>So I think he deserves a present he'll enjoy as much as your DHs have enjoyed the BDing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337494 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:26:08 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 337494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the process of conception is the present . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337453 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 02:39:55 +0000 Ree723 337453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, love the idea that the conception is the present!</p> <p>Also, the boost to DH's ego was a good enough present - I swear, he strutted around for weeks afterwards, just so proud of the fact that he got me pregnant. In fact, the night we got our BFP, he sent a text to his brother saying "Boom, got 'Ree' pregnant". He's not normally like that at all, but he was just so proud of himself, he wanted to share it with the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337445 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 02:33:47 +0000 banana 337445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I agree...the present is the conception! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337215 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 22:01:54 +0000 twodoghouse 337215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we conceive my husband is going to get a present. It's called me quitting all my whining about all the other pregnant women in the world. Also, he's going to get the gift of rubbing my feet for nine whole months! Lucky guy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337087 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:26:55 +0000 chopsuey 337087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-337064 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 21:21:42 +0000 Arden 337064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly. The present is the conception. That was more sex than we'd normally have in a month, during the O week. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-336932 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:47:05 +0000 anonysquire 336932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya I will get DH something. But probably only to score points so I get a bigger push present. Sue me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-men-get-a-conception-present#post-336898 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:38:05 +0000 emg86 336898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mister is getting a keezer! It's also his big bday gift and after 3 years of actively trying to get pregnant....I think it's well deserved! </p>
