Not that often with lactational amenorrhea (presuming the woman can breastfeed). Breastfeeding suppresses ovulation.
My cousin was sent out by his pregnant wife to register for their child's birth at target. He and his friend who went with him registered for many, many condoms of assorted colors, flavors, and ribbing. My parents went to target and printed the registery. They were very surprised. So was my cousin's wife when she heard about it from my parents.
As a gift, I was thinking of those kid towels that are hooded. On the hood there is often the head of a frog or a duck, or a dinosaur. My daughter still uses her towels (at age 3), but towels wouldn't be "awesome" for the mom. I guess I don't have any good suggestions.
EDIT: I thought of something. Can you cook? Providing a few meals for the parents during the first few weeks would probably be appreciated. When you don't get any sleep, it's hard to find motivation to cook.
