What do I have to do in order to stop receiving baby stuff in the mail?

It seems like EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'm reminded of the pregnancy I've lost.

I seriously must get a Viacord letter every week or more often. Today it's a buy buy baby catalog.  The other day was a babies r us registry form.  It just doesn't stop.

Usually there is a number or an address in small print that you can contact to cancel all the subscriptions in mail. This is a real pain because I keep getting how many weeks I should be pregnant from FitPregnancy.com.  I don't even remember getting on this site and couldn't find a way to unsubscribe their emails either.  I guess I have to deal with that website.  All the other websites, I was able to subscribe.  It is definitely very irritating.

I have sent several angry letters/emails to Viacord, they're the only one that constantly sends stuff. It finally stopped after I promised to boycott them and encourage others to do the same.

It's hard to get off the list once you're on it.

Ditto calling the 800 and asking to be unsubscribed and then you might just start writing return to send not at this address on it and see if that helps as well.  So sorry.  I remember when I got a whole thing of Target baby coupons like a week after my mc.  It sucks so hard.

Yeah, its hard to say.

I mean, I received a letter to tour our hospital's new maternity ward not that long ago... the same ward where I gave birth to our sleeping child.  You think the hospital would get it right... but nope.

I stopped getting emails thankfully. I unsuscribed to all of them. 

The regular mail is a bit more difficult to get rid of. 

Sometimes I feel like maybe I'll get PG soon and therefore I may need it eventually.  But for now, it's just a painful reminder

I got a box full of formula on my EDD in October...so not cool!

I take pleasure and inserting those suckers in the shredder when they arrive.

Do NOT do this!  It's tempting, really tempting.  But the last thing you want is ALL of your mail being returned.  Seen it happen.

I've found that calling the companies and saying that my baby died usually works. My husband and I split up the mail duties because it's not any easier on him to see the baby stuff than it is for me.

I make my husband get the mail and throw out any baby stuff before I see it.  I did, however, scream at him for not doing this the first time we got something in the mail after our loss.

Not the ideal solution maybe but its working for me for now.

I successfully unsubscribed from the emails, I think (one every-other-week one caught me off guard a few days ago, but at least that one had a mc/loss button to click easily for why you unsubscribed).  

Me too, my DH is my filter. I also went into my email settings and blocked the websites I couldn't unsubscribe to.
