I keep getting all these mailings... catalogues, coupons, samples, etc for baby stuff.

ARGH!!!!! They're coming from EVERYwhere, I don't know where to start to get my name off of their lists!!!

Today, I was shipped an entire case of Enfamil formula. What. the. heck?

Good thing a friend of mine has a baby and she formula feeds. I'm gonna give it to her.

The edd for my last pg was last month. I have been getting magazines and stuff since april or so. I just usually throw it away. If it is actual size samples like the cans of formula (I got similac) I freecycle it.

It's a pretty sucky reminder though.

When my husband checks the mail he will throw anything away that even remotly looks baby related. When I check, i normally look through it then cry and throw it away. My biggest thing is that I subscribed to a magazine and paid for it while I was preg. and I have been getting it everything month since our loss. Thank goodness I am only suppose to get one more issue!

I totally understand. Just a few weeks ago we got a diaper bag and some other things in the mail from somewhere. Thankfully I've been handling it ok, but it still sucks!

I get the emails still saying what week i am in my pregnancy. That sucks - terrible reminder.

I also get the catalogs and the baby formula and i also either freecycle it or the catalogs i just stack in a bin - cause one day i will need it - I PRAY!!!!!

Same here. I just got a whole bag full of stuff from nestle and diapers from huggies. I unsubscribed from the weekly emails, then all of a sudden a few days a go I get a random one saying "Enfamil: Eight Months into Your Pregnancy." I wanted to just die.

Oh, and when I got the Huggies one, it was in my neighbours mailbox, so she brings it to my house and my mom was there during the day, My neighbour's like "Oh, I didnt know she was expecting! Thats beautiful...." My was was like, "Well she's not expecting anymore!" Then slammed the door. She knows how sensitive I am Perfect - know the whole building will know.

Ughh, I keep a lot of samples anyways and am building a baby box full of stuff. I have got a few newborn Huggies diapers, some Nestle formula and Enfamil formula, a couple baby hats and some random baby wash samples, creams, lotions, etc. Its piling up and I just keep it in the spare room so if I get preggo again, it'll be nice to have I guess if i EVER get preggo again...

Sigh....

Who makes Enfamil? I just got some mailing about things you can get for free if you have multiples and one things is Mead Johnson will give you a whole case of formula. You're supposed to send in birth certificates to prove you had multiples. I think they got your name somehow?? That's the first I ever heard of getting a whole CASE of formula.

Sorry about the mailings

Wow... I didn't know you had to supply the proof that you had multiples to get that! I was pregnant with twins, at least for a while...

I honestly have no idea where some people got my name. OK, maybe from the registry... but wow.
