I always thought an eternity ring was after the first year of marriage or first child - so that fits. I think there should be diamonds but possibly be shot down for that. However doesn't mean I'll get them . . .

My husband bought me a beautiful necklace and a huge bunch of flowers when I gave birth 9 years ago.
I am due again in November so will see what happens 😛

AreWeThereYet000 · 25/07/2017 17:36

Didn't get one with my first 4 years ago, this time round I got a charm to go on my bracelet, my favourite perfume and the limited edition changing bag I wanted but I/we said we couldn't afford (obvs said to surprise me)

Never heard of it and would never expect it personally!

That's your mistake... ALWAYS expect diamonds!! Grin

For the boys (first 3) I got diamonds. Earings then necklace then an eternity ring as that was that...except it wasn't and DDpromptly arrived after which I got flowers, chocolates and a take away curry. Hmm Grin

A necklace and a handbag.

LaContessaDiPlump · 25/07/2017 17:39

I got a box of Jaffa cakes when I had DS1 and nothing after DS2. What am I owed?!

beebapshalap · 25/07/2017 17:41

Nothing, despite several days of labour and almost 3 weeks in hospital. Actually, I lie, he picked up some food I couldn't eat during pregnancy, which was nice. But not eternity ring nice. not bitter

boopdoop · 25/07/2017 17:41

Totally didn't expect anything, but DS bought be a gorgeous diamond necklace.

A takeaway fry up from my favourite cafe (that didn't usually do takeaways but she knew I'd just had a baby) Grin it was awesome!

IdentifiesAsASloth · 25/07/2017 17:42

Shit all!

If I could choose something I would probably get a nice jacket or something.

MissBax · 25/07/2017 17:44

kingfisher 😂😂😂

badg3r · 25/07/2017 17:45

I didn't get anything. However, DH has made and tidied up after dinner pretty much every night since first DC was born, so I think we are even Wink

2ducks2ducklings · 25/07/2017 17:45

I didn't get anything. It didn't occur to me to expect anything. I feel I've missed out, this obviously needs fixing immediately

Jellybabie3 · 25/07/2017 17:53

Haha I'm glad i am not the only one that didnt know. But now i know i am intrigued.... Would you expect something for you or something gifty baby like? Aka a footprint kit or something? A spa day would be nice...

I got a car

DH obviously planning ahead as he was shagging his PA and it was part of his leaving strategy...

Jellybabie3 · 25/07/2017 18:51

I got a diamond eternity ring after DS

I got a diamond necklace after dd

Also flowers, champagne & chocolate each time as well

Never called it a "push present" dh just said the diamonds were because they last forever like the love for my babies would

2014newme · 25/07/2017 18:56

Eternity ring. Never referred to as a push present, how vulgar and I didn't push.

Jellybabie3 · 25/07/2017 19:00

Ha i know....its just what its called.....sorry

We had just bought a house and had no money so DH got me a Hot Diamonds ring in lieu of an engagement ring. It had a rose gold plated band and silver one crossed together with a teeny tiny diamond in the middle to denote DD. For our second child he got me a Hot Diamond Russian wedding ring of three silver rings entwined (to denote us and DD) with a teeny diamond that is DS.

They're basically costume jewellery and he promises when we've got more money he'll get me something 'proper' but they are irreplaceable to me.

Alwaysinahurrynow · 25/07/2017 19:01

Diamond necklace, then diamond earrings, then a diamond & sapphire bracelet. I didn't ask, but after it took me 24hr to say I didn't like the length of the necklace, I've been taken along to choose the others.

koalab · 25/07/2017 19:02

I haven't heard that name for it but I did get an eternity ring for Christmas a couple of weeks after DD was born. I think my mum may have mentioned that it would be nice if I had a special present though, otherwise I might have just got the usual cd and chocolates.
