The Great Big List of Pregnancy Freebies

by - Tuesday, April 12, 2011


Pregnancy can be an incredibly exciting time, but the expense can also be quite daunting. Luckily there are dozens of companies and organizations offering freebies, samples and useful information packs to help the transition from bump to motherhood (or indeed fatherhood) that much easier on the pocket.

And besides, who wouldn't like a chestful of baby freebies sent their way?

Here follows a list of all the pregnancy and baby freebies I've been able to find, with links to websites or more information wherever possible. I'll try to keep this list updated with the latest offers and membership sites, so please feel free to let us know of new freebies in the comments below.

P.S. If you're using Firefox, I highly recommend using this add-on to help you fill in web forms super fast!

Bounty

Probably the most well-known and utilized pregnancy freebie service, Bounty offers five free packs in total, "from bump to baby and beyond":
  1. Pregnancy Information, given by your healthcare professional during pregnancy at your booking in appointment.
  2. Mum to be pack, which can be collected from Boots or Sainsburys during your pregnancy
  3. Mum's pack, given at the labour ward
  4. Newborn pack, given by the Bounty lady when your baby arives
  5. Family pack, to be collected from Boots or Sainsburys after baby is born.
