Most people feel that the first baby should be the only baby shower that is given for the mom-to-be. However, there are exceptions to this "rule." For example, if the woman has had one or more children at one point in her life, and then sells or donates everything because she is “done” having kids, only to find out several years later she is going to have another baby and will need everything again.

Watch out for cute and cuddly names that may seem very appropriate for a baby, but may not be so great later in life. Cozy or Bubby would be tough names to put at the top of a CEO staff memo!

Many 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.

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.
