'Push" present

[TheSaint]

Ive got to get one. (soon)

What did you get your wife/mother of your child?

Why does this custom seem to be relatively recent? I dont remember hearing of this until recently.

"Push" as in for the birth?

If the child is yours, I say you have given her enough...

There is, however, no evidence that the present was invented by the jewelry industry to sell more goods,[1] and until recently it was passed on largely by word of mouth or peer pressure among both mothers and fathers.[2] According to Linda Murray, the executive editor of BabyCenter.com, "It’s more and more an expectation of moms these days that they deserve something for bearing the burden for nine months, getting sick, ruining their body. The guilt really gets piled on."[1] Other sources trace the development of the present to the increased assertiveness of women, allowing them to ask for a present more directly, or the increased involvement of the men in pregnancy, making them more informed of the pain and difficulties of pregnancy and labor.[1]

A 2007 survey of over 30,000 respondents by BabyCenter.com found that 38% of new mothers received a push present, and 55% of pregnant mothers wanted one. About 40% of both groups claimed that the baby itself is already a present and did or do not wish an additional reward.[1]

The trend has generated a backlash, as some couples dislike the implicit materialism of push presents, and would prefer increased help in chores or baby care, or save the money for the child's education

I thought the "push present" was what led to a woman being pregnant in the first place?
