Coupons/advice moms (to be)
Below is a list of links I compiled for my pregnant friends. Since it took a while for me to gather, I thought I would share it with all of you. Please ignore the advice if you already have kids or just don't need it. I thought the coupon links may even be helpful to some that have kids.
I just found this one on babycenter and it has most of the links I found- plus non baby coupons.

Here is list of sites I suggest you register with for
coupons:
[Pampers
Huggies
Luvs
Similac Enfamil
Carnation formula
Gerber Beechnut
Earths Best Organic- call for coupons
American Baby magazine
Baby Talk magazine
Misc. coupons
Check with your grocery store to see if they have a
baby club. I think most do now, except Stop & Shop.
You never know which diapers will work best for your baby, so send for all brands. You can always trade with friends or on a coupon board- yes, they even have these now. There may be different stages where you will need to change brands. Sometimes newborns use huggies, but when they crawl huggies leak and you have to switch. Other times they have sensitivity problems and you will have to switch brands. The same goes for
formula.
Get on the BRU mailing list when you register. They
have hundreds of dollars in coupons every few months. Grandparents are also invited to join the list. Add them since they will shop for you anyhow. I think this also gets you on TRU and KRU's lists. They sell things you need to. KRU also carries newborn clothes, in case you did not know. I was surprised. TRU sells all diaper and feeding essentials.
Get all the free magazine subscriptions even if you
don't want to read them. They have coupons in them.
In addition, there are a few bulletin boards/chat
rooms I find helpful. They send you recall info that
could save your baby's life. When you sign up for a
login name to use the chat boards, etc., they usually ask what types of mail you would like to receive.
Babycenter
(articles, pregnancy
milestones, chat rooms that are great for support and questions)
Pregnancy & Baby
If you are thinking about cord blood preservation,
this is the company we used. Their prices are higher
than when we registered, but they are still the
cheapest. We researched all 5 companies accepted by
the hospital I am delivered at. Get a list from your
OB.
Cryo-cell
Sign up for recall notices:
CPSC
It is never too early to register since they
probably won't send you things until you need them. That is why they ask for EDD/Birthdate. The
diaper/formula companies also have newsletters they send on the current development stage the baby is in.
