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.

Be sure that the name you select sounds good when combined with your last name. Try to avoid a first name that ends with the same consonant as first letter of your last name. It can be hard to pronounce properly and could create a never ending barrage of rhyming jokes from peers.

Before starting an exercise routine while you are pregnant, talk to your doctor or midwife. He or she can help you figure out how slowly you should start and warning signs that may occur if there is a problem or if your are pushing too hard. Having a plan with your doctor may make you feel more comfortable as well.
