The host should be the one who decides the approximate number of people who will be invited, based on the venue and budget. A good suggestion would be to have the main party at the home of the mother-to-be because that way, she does not have to haul all the great gifts back home…she just puts them in the baby’s room.

While it may be exciting to present some of your favorite names to friends and family, they can be very opinionated! If they "hate" a name you have chosen as one of your favorites, it may cause resentment. You may end up choosing a different name instead based on their feelings, and then end up regretting it later in life.

Staying hydrated is also very important whether you are exercising while pregnant or not. Blurred vision is a common sign of dehydration. It means that your blood pressure is dropping rapidly which is sending your heart into overdrive. Make sure to keep drinking water to avoid this potentially dangerous situation.

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.
