If you are planning a ski or hiking trip, stick to the lower-altitude resorts. You can also be more prone to altitude sickness than when you are not pregnant, so beware of symptoms of light-headedness, headache, nausea, insomnia, poor appetite, or fatigue, and drink even more fluids than usual....

But a little nervous energy is good. The only students truly relaxed while taking the SAT are asleep, or they don’t care what score they receive....
