Pregnant after 35

Anyone else started to get baby junk mail?

The last 2 days I have had junk mail about pregnancy and baby stuff, anyone else had this? I'm wondering where they got my address from and how they know I'm pregnant as we haven't told anyone yet..... Grrrrr!! Or am I just reading into too much from junk mail ;)?

  • If you've signed up for the coupon clubs from Similac, Enfamil, or Gerber, there's a chance if you didn't opt out of their "related info updates" that you're on the junk list.

    This. I started getting stuff after purchasing my opk from Target and I'm getting more since purchasing some baby items. I also signed up for American Baby magazine so I know that put me on a list. I haven't been inundated with annoying stuff though, so far it's just been coupons.
    Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.
  • I am getting massive amounts including 3 from the same pediatrician in my area and I'm only 10 weeks! I don't know if it came from me signing up at the bump or gerber or what. We actually have an app on our phone where u take a pic of the junk mail and send it to the site and gets u taken off their mailing list.

  • I can't think where I've recorded my mailing address, not signed up for anything that I can think of except the bump.......

  • Then it's probably from The Bump. Last pregnancy I got mail, and I had an early m/c before I had signed up for anything. I also used a junk e-mail address so I can ignore it, and just recycle 99% of the stuff that comes to the house.

    yes, about the bump. you can go on your info page and opt out (at the bottom) for 3rd party mailings.
    UPDATE : Just checked it out and, well, nevermind. I guess that option changed with the recent upgrade.

  • I used a fake last name with the bump and all my baby mail is to Rachel Fakelastname. Totally TB!
    I hope to create a real siggy but first I need some sleep!

    Mom to Lily and Colin!
