i thought PUSH presents were for celebrities or well off people. (not my world).
(but with the amount of celebs who have elective c-sections, maybe the wording needs to be changed).

i ended up pushing for 29 hours, then ambo, then hospital for 7 hours, then emergency c - so i didn't "push" in the end, so maybe that's why i didn't get a push present, although i didn't expect one. After waiting so long, so hard to conceive, i was just relieved to have a live baby to term.

At the time, so much went wrong, i assumed at least my then DH would turn up the next day with flowers - to celebrate that DD and me both survived the ordeal of labour. But no, nothing. Then a flower arrangement turned up, i thought it would be from DH, but no, it was from his work (i knew nobody there). That did it, i bawled. So people who didn't know me, bought me lovely flowers, and my own dh, couldn't be bothered, was not interested in celebrating our DD's arrival and survival (after an initial APGAR of 2), after taking photos of her arrived not breathing, being told by med staff to take photos of her being resussed, cos it might be the only photos he would get. AFter all that - nothing.

it was a big deal to me.

we spent the baby bonus (slowly) on replacing whitegoods, baby stuff, bills. really grateful for it.
