If 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.

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!

If you feel sick to your stomach after working out while pregnant, you have probably built up too much lactic acid in your stomach. Cool down and realx for a while and if the nausea persists, call your doctor or midwife.

Although the term "morning sickness" suggests that the feeling only occurs in the morning, it can actually strike at any time of day. Many women say their nausea is the worst in the evening after dinner, since the digestive system has slowed down considerably in order for the body to absorb all the nutrients possible.
