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!

Remember the name you choose for your baby will be with them for the rest of his of her life. Names that may be trendy or cool now could go out of style as quickly as they came in.

Your heart rate should never increase beyond 140 beats per minute while exercising, especially while pregnant. If you are sweating profusely or you cannot talk while working out, you are exercising too hard.

Spicey and fried foods are hard on your stomach when it isn't pregnant, when it is, they are much worse! Try to avoid spicey foods until you are looking to start labor (just a myth)! Stay away from fried foods completely if you can.
