push presents

Traditionally, the push present is a gift new fathers bestow upon the woman who has successfully completed the delivery of “his” child. Technically this refers to vaginal births although push presents are also rewarded to women who have endured caesarean sections.

Today, push presents can go to anyone with the pain tolerance and fortitude to knock out a baby – whether they’re straight or gay. Gay men should definitely get something nice for their surrogate. But whether or not the partner of a lesbian should expect one depends on the couple’s complex relationship dynamics.
