Invitations should be mailed about four weeks prior to the shower. This way, it is not so soon that people forget about it, but yet gives people enough time to make room in their calendar and to RSVP. Guests should RSVP no later than two weeks before the shower. People who are organized will open the card, check their schedule, and call right then, so it is important to have voice mail or an answering machine so they can respond immediately.

Choosing to make your child a Jr. by giving them the same name as your husband can create problems later in life when it comes to credit applications and other legal situations.

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.

Spicey and fried foods are hard on your stomach when it isn't pregnant, when it is, they are much worse! Try to avoid spicey foods until you are looking to start labor (just a myth)! Stay away from fried foods completely if you can.
