If your partner’s primary love language is receiving gifts, consider gifting her with a push present or any token of appreciation during labor or after giving birth.

Some sweet gift ideas are:

  • Surprise her with her favorite snack or candy.

  • Make her birth affirmation cards.

  • Put together a labor survival kit for her with nonskid socks, aromatherapy, chapstick, etc.

  • Make a meaningful birth playlist with her favorite songs and special songs to you both as a couple.

  • Frame a focal point to get her through tough contractions. For example, the focal point could be a sonogram picture of your baby or a picture of her favorite flower blooming, etc.

  • A handwritten letter or card with a thoughtful message that she can read after giving birth.

  • A new robe/nightgown/slippers for postpartum.

  • A necklace with your baby’s name on it.

  • A charm bracelet she can build on.

  • Arrange a surprise visit after the birth from a special friend/family member you know she will love.
