Baby Names Plus Quick Tips
Baby Shower PlanningIf you or the mother-to-be is superstitious and believes that no gifts should be bought until the baby is born (some religions believe this as well), you may want to have the baby shower about a month after the baby is born. This will give the mother time to heal and get settled into her new role. By this time she will want to show the baby off, and may have a better idea what she needs.
Baby NamingIf 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).
Pregnancy ExerciseMany women still feel more comfortable with taking it easy when they are pregnant. This is fine, as long as she watches what she eats. Although many woman say it helps them feel stronger and healthier to exercise while pregnant, noone should feel bad about relaxing and putting their feet up, especially if your doctor says you should not exercise.
Morning SicknessPre-natal vitamins that contain iron are harder on the stomach. Ask your doctor if you can try vitamins without the extra iron in them, unless you are anemic.
