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.

Try to avoid names that could be mispronounced or misspelled easily. There is nothing more frustrating to a kid than having to correct people, like his or her teacher, every time they say the name for the first time. Or having to say "no, that's spelled with an 'I' not a 'Y'" a thousand times! Plus, if you like to buy things with your child's name on them, you'll never be able to find anything with the correct spelling unless it's specially made for you.

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.

If you eat something salty before your main meal, it may help you "stomach" the food and keep morning sickness at bay.
