Color
If you are looking to select flowers based on their color, you might want to pick up a bunch or purple iris or yellow daffodils. Science says that purple and yellow are instant triggers to encourage tranquility and serenity. While it is commonplace to give pregnant women bouquets of either pink or blue in relation to the baby’s sex, experts insist the other options available might be a better choice.
Scent
This is a tricky area because many expecting moms suffer from over sensitivity when it comes to their sniffers. Stay away from strong scented species such as roses and lilies and opt for a softer smelling variety like sweet pea or ranunculus. The last thing you want to do is make her even more nauseous than she already is so be sure to ask your florist for suggestions.
