DH asked me what i wanted, and i sort of dismissed the idea. Did you get one for your subsequent pregnancies?

No, but I never got a first. I would love a charm type necklace in the future.

DH got me an ale and ani bracelet to complement the one he got me from LO #1

I didn't vote as #2 isn't here yet. But, DH did get me a really nice diamond pendant for mother's day this year that was way over the top. At the time he declared that it would cover all major things left for the year (birthday, 5 year anniversary, birth, Christmas). I'm okay with that.
But I also know my husband and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he gets me the new charms I want for my bracelet.
He upgraded my diamond studs for our first.

I didn't get a first from DH but I did buy my own charm necklace and plan to do the same this time around.

I didn't officially get one for either. But before my second son was born, I got 3 bands - one with my birthstone, one with DS1, and one with DS2. At the time we didn't know it would be another boy - I just new the birth month. I got them around christmas.

I didn't get one for either, but I didn't want anything. I personally don't see the reasoning/point behind them.

My husband was super generous with my birthday present and my Christmas gifts when I was pregnant with LO1, I wanted something with blue topaz and he went all out and got me Yurman blue topaz/diamond earrings and a pendant....I was so grateful that I never mentioned the push present thing to him, and he has no idea about things like that. And I won't be enlightening him about push presents for LO2 bc the man takes awesome care of me, especially when it comes to jewelry, and I don't ever want him to feel like I'm not grateful or I expect expensive things from him. He'll quit doing it! Gah!
I actually think I did tell him about push presents at some point when I was pregnant and he didn't believe that was a real thing lol.

I don't think my husband even knows what a push present is - so clearly, I didn't receive one for either of the kids.

I didn't get a first! DH is pretty clueless about these sorts of things and after all the baby related expenses, my baby boy was all the push present I needed.

No push presents here! I'm okay with that bit we will definitely get our son some gifts from the baby.

@MrsMccarthy: We (well, I) bought a few things for DS that we will give him when the baby arrives. I would much rather buy things for him than for myself!

I want something symbolic for E and the next baby's name. I'm holding off on a necklace of some kind until I know what I'm having. #2's due around Mother's Day, so...I'll surely get something

I guess I got a push present with #1..I got a necklace with LO's initial on it. I definitely plan on getting another letter for LO2.

@bushelandapeck: me too! I'm having a lot of guilt already about how hard it will be for him to get less of my focus. I know our boys will love having a sibling though. I so excited to see your new baby girl!!!!! Getting so close now! Hopefully she is as prompt as her brother was.

I got a nice camera with my last...but it was a necessary purchase hidden as a "push present." Not sure if my husband has anything planned this time around...my RCS is Wednesday, so I guess I'll find out then! Haha. Regardless, I plan to buy a charm bracelet or necklace with my kids initials on it for myself. Although, I'd looove some new diamond studs.

No, I didn't get one for either birth. I didn't even know what a push present was til HB!

If I ever have a second I'm sure DH would get me something. he got me a beautiful RH ring with LO's birth month stone. If we have a second, I'd love a necklace that has the initials of both.

Dh doesn't know what push presents are and I didn't either before hb. He did give me a dy necklace in ds' birthstone shortly after we had him! He said he was glad ds didn't come a day later because it would've been the wrong stone! I'm sure he'll do something in the future just because that's his style to surprise me w a memento but I have nothing in mind or desire for a push present
