For almost 40 weeks, a mom-to-be shares her body with a developing fetus, enjoying and enduring all the anxiety, discomfort, emotional imbalance, delight, excitement, wonderment and so many other sentiments that reside within her during that time. One day the discomfort becomes pain and then the pain escalates and she knows it's time. With those she loves by her side, she labors with vexation on her face, perspiration on her skin and love in her heart.
It all culminates in the final PUSH.......... PUSH.............PUSH!
And then, something beautiful............... a gift. A stunned, mucus-smeared, silken-haired, curled-up, tiny, precious, tear-inducing, smile-producing, heart-capturing little newborn baby. The new mommy gushes with emotion over all that has occurred since conception and its culmination in the birth of her precious baby. …show more content…
This is called a push gift or, more popularly, a push present. A push gift is a gift for a new mom, whether she actually pushed her baby out or had her baby by c-section. The gift is not for the baby, but something for the mom personally.
Giving a push present shows a new mom that, although the baby is the focus, she is recognized for all that she has been through.
Birthing the baby is celebrated with a push
