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.

Many families like to go with a theme when naming their children. For example, all first or middle names starting with the same letter: Randy, Rachel, Renee and Robert. Or Stephen James, Brian Jay, Wendy Jo, and Bonnie Jean.

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.

Try to eat cold meals which can be easier on morning sickness both in taste and smell. Fruit and bread products are often the easiest to get down.
