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.

Celebrity names may sound appealing, but your child may not want to compete with a larger than life persona, such as Madonna or Prince.

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.

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