So, if it's called a "push present" (WTF?), does that mean she doesn't get it if she has a C-section?

If you got her a pearl necklace in the first place you wouldn't be in this situation.

I think it's nice to get a push present, what I don't like is articles like this.

What's a push gift? It's a present your hubs gets you for carrying and generally pushing the baby out (and don't worry: C-section moms definitely deserve one too). Of course that gorgeous baby is reward enough, but if there's one person who deserves a little spoiling, it's a woman who's just rocked L&D. Although jewelry is the most traditional pick, we've come up with a few other unconventional ideas, too. Hit "send to a friend" to get these perfect picks into your husband's inbox, stat.

This is the first I've heard of this too. My wife didn't expect or receive anything. Our son was enough. When do you give it to her, right after the kid is born?
"Honey stop looking at the baby and open this present, do you know how long it took me to wrap this?"

I have never heard of this either and my wife comes from a family that tends to overgift on any holiday or occasion. We just had our third child this past weekend and I didn't get her a thing. (I did buy her some magazines to read in the hospital...does that count?)
Like suggested earlier, the best thing you can do is help out and make her job easier around home.

Obligatory gifts are the suck, unless all you care about is stuff. Spontaneity in gift-giving is much more demonstrative and special.

A dozen roses. It's mandatory. And get them to her before she is discharged from the hospital. You'll have 24-36 hours to do it. Just do it.
I gave my wife a dozen roses for each of our kids. The 2nd kid I waited until we were home for a couple of days. She was pissed that I waited.

Just help her out a lot after the baby is born, that would be the best present ever. Change diapers, get up with him/her in the middle of the night, clean house .. that would be the best push present ever IMO. I have had 3 kids and that was like the ultimate fantasy for me, instead I got "I have to work tomorrow, so I cant".. dont do that BTW.

I assume the present you gave her nine months ago isn't considered enough?

We had a son one month ago and while we were in the post delivery room we had a nurse who was trying to coach Mr. Flamesoholic on what he should be buying me. I thought she was joking until she gave me a dirty look and said "well I would expect a gift".
Seriously though, the best thing you could possibly give her is time to sleep or take some time away from baby to recharge. Best gift ever, hands down.
