Many women end up having a couple of showers, especially for the first baby. Her family may throw a shower and invite only family members, and then her co-workers may want to throw one as well. The mother-to-be may find that her husband or significant other is surprised with a shower or gifts by people with whom he works as well. It all depends on the size of the families involved and the extent of your list of friends and co-workers.

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 have decided to scrap the idea of taking it easy while pregnant. According to doctors, it is much easier to get back to your pre-pregnant self if you exercise and eat healthy during your nine (ten) months of pregnancy.

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.
