A good time for the baby shower to be held is in the 7th to 8th month. At this point, the woman knows the sex of the baby (if she chooses) and though she is clearly showing, she is not completely miserable yet! If you wait until the 9th month, it may be too late if she delivers early, or she may be so uncomfortable that she is hardly in the mood for a party!

If you are determined to go with a family name, but there are none that you like, combine the letters into a different name (Jerry and Linda called their daughter Jerilynn).

The best pregnancy exercises are low-impact aerobics such as brisk walking, dancing, swimming and yoga to name a few. Try to avoid potentially dangerous sports, such as outdoor biking, skiing, horseback riding, etc. Never go scuba diving as it can cause dangerous gas bubbles in the baby's blood.

If smells are the main cause of morning sickness, carry around a hankerchief with a non-offensive odor on it. Put it over your nose when smells become unbearable and you cannot get away from the area.
