My best friend just told me that she's pregnant but doesn't know where she can get samples etc so I've complied a list for her where she can sign up for samples :razz:
Although a lot of them are reposts, just thinking that it might be worth posting the list I made for my friend here because many busy mum-to-be might not have enough time or just too tired to go through all the posts here :cheesygrin:
