People do not want to leave a baby shower until you’ve opened their presents, so make sure you are doing this no later than an hour to an hour and a half after the party starts. That way, if someone needs to leave a little early, they can. Keep in mind that it takes a while to open presents (at least 30 minutes) and that is why you should start this as soon as the eating and games are done.

Many parents choose to narrow their list down to two or three of their favorite names and then wait until they see the baby for the first time to actually choose the name. This may give you and your child a special sense of pride. "He just looked like a Jeremy!"

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.

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.
