Pregnancy Freebie

Had my midwife appoinment today and she forgot to give me a copy of Emma's Diary so i had a look online and came accross http://www.emmasdiary.co.uk/ If you sign up then you get a claim card to take to your nearest Lloyds Pharmacy and you get a goodie pack. I've just signed up so i don't know what all is in it yet.

All emmas diarys packs are rubbish, just leaflets and nasty sweets. Not worth getting!

Yes they're a little disappointing and certainly not worth going a long way out of your way to find a Lloyds. In mine they had:

A sample mini pack of bran flakes
Some nasty sugary fruit sweets
A tiny sample of cocoa butter cream
A one sachet sample of Spatone (iron drink)

And that was about it! Lots of junk mail too

Ooops. Registered my daughter for this without reading all the posts. But thanks anyway.

I picked up an Emma's Diary Mum-to-be pack from Boots the other day and all I got inside was:

Mini pack bran flakes
Fruit Bowl blackcurrant fruit flakes (my 3yr ate these straight away)
Tiny sample of cocoa butter cream
Loads of leaflets

I got my Emma's Dairy New Mum claim card from the Registry Office when I registered my daughter last week, although I haven't had chance to pick it up yet so will let you know what's in it later.

I also got 2 Bounty packs whilst in Hospital. If you don't get the Bounty packs you can ask your midwife/Health Visitor for the forms.

Do be careful with both Emmas Diary and Bounty - take any free packs that you're offered, they've usually got a range of freebies from breast pads, moisture cream to baby food

but avoid filling in any of their forms - they claim that it means you'll get future packs - but those future packs are just mail outs of junk mail with no further goodies, I also noticed last time that there was a lot of associated junk mail coming through the post (even though I ticked the form to say that they couldn't pass on my details) - they'd obviously sold my details on to lots of other companies such as grolier (dodgy book company once featured on watchdog) and la redoute.

I know someone who didn't get any packs & when she mentioned it to her own midwife she got her some from the hospital for her, maybe it's worth doing this?

Hi all, I have had both my emmas diary pack and Bounty pack, both from midwife, but I have also had vouchers thru the post. Am I allowed 2 packs of each, I think you need two packs to make it worth it! I dont want to get into trouble! ps I had my first scan today and it was amazing!!
