Did your partner get you a gift when your baby was born?

gift for baby when born image

I have seen on random shows, read in magazines and even heard from other people about their partner getting them a gift once the baby is born.

Like something sentimental because now you are the mother of their baby.

Is this a normal tradition? Has anyone else had this?

My fiance got me roses when we found out we were having a baby, but its not due for another 19 weeks lol, so Im not sure what to expect. Should I get him something too? Or is it more just something the dad does?

Answer
I had never thought about it but my husband surprised me with a necklace at my baby shower...which was done in the hospital because my water had broken 9 weeks early and thankfully the hospital allowed me to be wheeled down on a stretcher and given a shower in the conference room.

It was so sweet ---i never expected him to do that :) I gave him a son :)

Is it expected to give another gift when the baby is born?

Hi,

My sister is having a baby any day now, and someone told me that for close family members such as myself it is expected that you give another gift when the baby is born if you already gave one at the shower, is this true? I don't want to be rude and not give another if ettiquette says I should. Just wanted to be sure though because I'm a 20 year old college student, so I don't have much money. At the shower I gave 3 fairly small gifts totalling around $60. Is that enough? Did your close family members give you another gift once your child was born? thanks!

Answer
I agree, I think a card when visiting the mother and baby for the first time is it, if anything.
