27 Weeks Pregnant

The two main culprits for bags under the eyes are water retention and fatigue, so try to get as much rest as possible and drink plenty of water to flush your system. The more you drink, the less you retain.

Still puffier than you'd like? Here are some quick fixes: Because dark circles and under-eye bags tend to be more prominent in the morning, place something cool over your eyes when you first wake up. Try the always-favorite cool cucumber slices, cold tea bags, chilled spoons or a bag of frozen blueberries. Concealer and mascara can help too, if you're so inclined.

You may already know this, but you won't be allowed to drive home from the hospital with your newborn if you don’t have a car seat.

It's likely the first piece of baby gear you'll use — and one of the most important — so there's a lot to consider when you're shopping for an infant car seat. Before buying, always brush up on recent recalls to make sure the kind you settle on isn't on the list.

Heard conflicting salmon stories? "Eat lots of it — it's good for you!" or "Make sure you don't eat too much — it's bad for you!"

Salmon's definitely one of nature's best providers of DHA, a brain- and mood-boosting omega-3 fatty acid that's good for babies and moms.

Try to opt for wild, which also contains more of those healthy fats, or organically raised farmed.

Can't find either? Just follow these tips, no matter what fish you're choosing: Go skinless, trim dark meat thoroughly and cook your fillet through. Most of the chemicals found in fish accumulate in skin and dark meat, and a thorough cooking will get rid of what's left.

Chances are, you'll never need to save your baby's life. But emergencies occasionally do happen, even when you're vigilant.

Luckily, with a little preparation, you can be ready to act in the unlikely event that you'd need to. Sign up for an infant CPR class — many are also offered virtually.

Now that you're pumping for two, it's more important than ever to keep an eye on your heart rate when you're exercising.

The best way to check how much you're exerting yourself is to use the exercise talk test — no need to take your pulse! If you can't exercise and talk simultaneously, your heart rate is probably too high.

If restless leg syndrome is driving you crazy, try keeping a food journal and note what you ate before you experience bouts of RLS.

Some find that certain foods — such as carbs eaten late in the day — may trigger restless legs. A journal may help you figure out what foods make your symptoms improve or worsen.

We know you’re gassy and bloated. It’s normal! To help curb the problem, you may want to swap flatulence-causing foods like broccoli and asparagus for less-gassy spinach and carrots.

Also make sure to drink plenty of water and opt for smaller meals — the more food you take in during one sitting, the more gas you'll expel later on.
