Hello all *waves*

Am new here and have just spotted this so thought I'd pop in

Im 9 weeks pregnant with my first and very excited!

One question to ask though, I've been reccomended to join as many baby clubs as possible. Does anyone know if there is already a thread on this? Or possibly a list somewhere? I can think of a few obvious ones (mothercare, tesco, babysrus) but thats where I stop! Lol

I'd recommend setting up a new email account just for these clubs. They'll get pretty spamtastic and your inbox will quickly fill up with junk mail.

And, sorry to bring up such an unpleasant thought, but my friend signed up to loads of baby clubs for the freebies, sadly miscarried but still had to see the evidence of her earlier happiness every time she logged onto her mail account. It took her months to unsubscribe from everything and, even to this day, she still gets the odd mail 'welcoming her new arrival!'.

If something horrible happens (it won't!) or you simply get bored of endless marketing emails, at least if you've set up a dedicated account, you can just ignore it.

Congratulations, and welcome to the thread! There's also the Less than 12 weeks pg thread which is good. This one's full of scary labour stories

Anaesthetist was great. Just said yeah you are fine to be under midwife thanks. Lol. So just need main consultant to discharge me from there too. Didn't see a midwife so another four weeks to wait. Will see how I go and what patients I have Friday if I can escape early for midwife or not

Congratulations triangle Saw the picture on your fb, little man is gorgeous

Welcome Cali and congrats!

If I remember rightly Ikkle is very good at the baby clubs, but off the top of my head
Asda (give away free huggies pack) you can print 2 vouchers off for yourself and then register in your partners name too. Each box contains a hat, nappies and wipes as well as £5 worth of coupons which can be used in other stores.
Boots (free changing bag, bottle and lots of vouchers) Save your vouchers till they have 342's on the baby stuff, it makes it a lot better. With my vouchers I got a large pack of Pampers, an Avent bottle, some Avent teats, changing bag, an Avent mums to be essential set and a body suit and it cost me around £5.
Huggies (coupons for nappies) These change regularly so remember to check back every now and then.
Aptamil (cuddly polar bear)
Cow and gate (cuddly cow) I also got a small pregnancy diary with mine which was kind of cool.
Pampers (vouchers)
Sainsburys (got free Huggies box but got voucher in store when swiped nectar card) This has a travel changing mat, wipes, and then samples of products like shower gel, fabric conditioner, tissues etc.
Mothercare I got vouchers but had to spend like £50 or £100 on things I'd already bought.
Baby centre (no freebies but info emails)
HIPP (Few bits on feeding etc)
Heinz bAby (mainly stuff on food, which at this stage 27 weeks is a bit useless)
Emma's diary (get a free pack, not much in, with Argos vouchers think you have to print them. Another pack at 27 weeks which I need to collect) DO NOT PUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER DOWN WHEN SIGNING UP YOU WILL GET MARKETING CALLS!!
Tesco(get lots of good voucher for the first six months for baby)


That's all I can think of, sure there's an obvious one I've forgotten. The trick is to use vouchers with in store offers. Like boots gave me voucher for £1 off Huggies wipes so I got the. When they were only £1 so were free. Or wait until there's 3for 2 on things. I got pampers nappies the other week, had sainsburys £2 coupon. They were on offer for 2.49 so got them for 49p.
Hope that helps for now xx

There's also the Bounty packs you get from your midwife and in hospital - again DO NOT PUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER DOWN YOU WILL GET MARKETING CALLS!

Bepanthen do a free sample
Avent if you join their pregnancy club send you a free bottle.

Tis very true, getting loads of carp offering loans, compensation, books etc. I have a separate email I use for any freebies, surveys etc. well worth doing to save clogging up your 'proper' email:)

Did you get the new shape bottle or the old one? The new ones are a bit like the Tommee Tippee closer to nature ones. It makes me chuckle though that types of marketing calls you do get from them all like books! My child is still in utero what the bloody hell does it want a copy of the Lion King book for?
