Why does The Bump have ads for expecting mothers on the bottom of these boards?! And I keep getting emails after unsubscribing. Ugh.

It IS sooo annoying.. But its not just here its everywhere. Yesterday I got a call from my medical insurance carrier to find out how my baby was "doing" since it was born within the year...needless to say I was SUPER upset

This happened to me too, only a few weeks after delivery, my insurance company called to ask me questions about my hospital stay and delivery. Right away I said, I will not be answering any questions. So, she goes on to say it will take less than 10 mins, and asks if I was in labor or induced when I arrived at the hospital. I tell her I was induced and will not be answering any more questions. But, she goes on and asks another question, finally I blurt out "The baby was stillborn! I wont be answering any more questions!" and she says oh, I'll update our records and apologizes. That was really hard and it stuck with me for a while.

Then, around the one year mark, I started getting so many first birthday advertisements in the mail. Everything about this is so hard.

They are annoying. Back when I first got pregnant I ordered a free baby proofing kid, and wouldn't you know it came in the mail the very day we got home from the hospital?

I've also been getting emails about cord blood and other pregnancy related stuff. It sucks.

Ugh, I know what you mean. I've gotten all sorts of stuff in the mail - free formula, coupons for birth announcements, etc. The worst one, though, was a postcard advertising cord blood banking with the phrase "cord blood banking could save your baby's life!"....um.... really?

I try to determine whether there are more ads and reminders about babies out there, or if I just notice them all now. Everywhere I go and everything I watch relates to babies somehow and it stings every time. This morning on my way to work my favorite radio station had a segment where they interviewed an expecting father, and the radio dj said "BABIES BABIES BABIES!" and I just lost it. Tomorrow is one month since we lost Ava and I feel like every day is getting harder.

I understand what you mean, everywhere I look or go there is something about babies. I swear that every parking lot has car seats in shopping carts or pregnant people. Even little girls are bothering me because I picture Arianna being them and how I should be experiencing it with her soon. I had to hide updates on Facebook from almost all of my friends because there are pregnant pictures or baby pictures all over Facebook! I have to fast forward all of my tv shows and even then I see babies on the commercials. Its like we can never escape the pain.

I also agree with your point of how everything was there before and now we just see it more.
