Did your husband/boyfriend give a gift to you after you had your baby?

Did he bring it to you @ the hospital? What was the gift? Flowers, jewelry, card, etc....

Did your husband/boyfriend give a gift to you after you had your baby?
I didn't...I forgot. However my wife hasn't! Now every woman that has a baby and gets some gift, I get reminded of my errors. Get her a nice peice of jewlery, like a charm for a charm bracelet and then she can have the initials put on it after the birth.\

Do it...beleive me it will be worth every cent. Just some guy - to - guy advice!
Reply:Nope, but he was there for me as much as he could be before AND after I had the baby.
Reply:I find it ironic that a man should have to get his wife a gift after she has a baby. Why should he? Some of the answers on here make it sound like there is some sort of entitlement to a gift after childbirth. I understand the stresses and such that a woman goes through and that none of it is easy. But the last time I checked, she and her husband decided to have the baby TOGETHER. They are both going to care for it and support it so why does the woman get a gift. My wife is terrific and we have two beautiful children. She is an incredible mother, wife, friend and lover. I did not get her any gift after the birth of either child. All I did was be in the delivery room, cut the cord, stay with her for 60+ hours during each of the deliveries, help care for the baby, change diapers, feed when I could, bring her everything she wanted or I thought she needed, and gave her as much attention or space as she needed. So I resent the fact that some on here suggest I should spend money on her just because she had a baby. I give her a gift everyday...me, body mind, soul ,love, friendship, support, and space. And she returns those gifts to me.
Reply:no he did not but we were both there when the baby was born and we where so ready to get home that it did not matter to me..
Reply:I got flowers- star gazer lilies just like we had at our wedding.
Reply:no, I never expected one.
Reply:Yes, all of it, because you did alot to have their child. I made sure when we go home he cooked and cleaned for me.(I got some pretty pink roses because I had a girl and matching bracelets for me and my daughter)
Reply:he had flowers delivered
Reply:Oh geez....why is it that women expect a gift over every little thing in life???? He married you didn't he????!!! I bet he goes to work, takes care of you and protects you every single day....where's his gift???



Women give birth every single day.....I have two sons of my own....giving birth to them and watching them grow up to be men is gift enough.
Reply:i didnt get an actual gift but he was with me during labor and after..bought me food everyday and helped me with everything so that was enough for me
Reply:No, I was lucky he decided to show up at all with either of our kids. I had to drive myself to the hospital !
Reply:I gave my wife flowers, fresh flowers. It was a C-section, so the stay in the hospital was longer that a normal delivery.
Reply:My husband brought me a present for every day my son and I were in the hospital (I had a c-section). On the first day he brought me two dozen yellow roses (my favorite), on the second day he brought me a very beautiful ceramic Precious Moments figurine, on the third day he brouht me a neclace that said "mom" on it, and on the fourth day (the day we went home) he brought me a two carat diamond ring (our son's birthstone). He has done something special for me every year on our son's birthday and especially on mother's day. You have to let a woman know that you appreciate her for bringing your child into this world and how much you love her for being the mother of your child.
Reply:Keep in mind that presents that cannot be consumed will have to be carried back home with the baby. Fresh flowers are ok if there is an overnight stay. Anything expensive such as jewelry is just distraction. Parents should focus on the baby. Should also find out if there are hospital rules against certain items for safety reasons.
Reply:My husband gave me a diamond bracelet...however it WAS right before Valentines Day so it could have been a joint present. Usually, it's customary for him to get you a little something since YOU were the one doing all the work ;)
