November 2017 Moms

similac almost spilled the beans

So I am not sure if anyone else is in this situation or not, so it may or may not be helpful. anyway , my parents take care of ds afterschool at our house from the time he gets out of kindergarten to when we get home from work, well  for some reason similac sent a box of formula, bottles and coupons to the house and of course it was in a very obvious box, so of course my mom had to ask If I am pregnant , and because I haven't told anyone and probley will not until closer to 12 weeks other than my bff, I said no not yet, but yikes . WTF similac . so I guess this is a semi heads up if you have roomates or anyone might be at your house when the mail comes, they migh be sending you a box, my only thought was this website because I for sure have not requested samples. kind of random I know.

  • Welcome to the board! :)

    Oh wow!  I know they send lots of stuff out but that's usually because they have you on some sort of mailing list, like if you signed up at a maternity store or something like that.  I wonder if the registration for this site does the same?  Luckily I've been registered for a long enough time that hopefully they don't send me anything...unless they are watching activity and send stuff out that way too.  Creepy creepy!

    At least you have DS though-how awful it would be to get that in the mail if you didn't have any kids yet/were going through fertility issues.  Ugh!  I hate when companies jump the gun like that.  I remember with my DD we got so many formula samples and coupons in the mail, even huge containers of formula.  I gave them all away because thankfully I was able to BF her and never used any formula or supplements.  It was just the path I chose (nothing wrong with the other way of course), but I remember getting annoyed by how much they kept sending us!

  • Pinterest almost blew it for me!! We're waiting to tell my in-laws in person when they come to visit this month. I forgot my MIL had Pinterest and she noticed my "pregnant workouts" pins. I had to scramble to make an excuse about researching for a pregnant friend! 

    Its hard keeping things secret when everything is so connected!
