YANBU.
Their usefulness was summed up by the MW who gave me my first one for my first baby with "Don't get too excited, the only useful thing is the plastic wallet which you can use to keep your notes clean and dry"!
My 'congrats you are in labour' one got lost somewhere in transfers round the hospital but we'd already established it was useless. On my third day on the postnatal ward, once I was a bit more with it and we knew ds was OK, Bounty woman turns up.
'Hello, can I take your name and address and phone no. for security reasons?'
WTF 'No. If you don't know who I am after three days here, who the hell are you because you sure don't work here! And I don't have a phone anyway.' (the phone bit always frazzles people)
'Well, I won't be ablle to give you your Bounty pack then, and it's got CB forms in, so you won't be able to claim your child benefit.'
'Don't be ridiculous - I'm sure I can get the forms somewhere else.'
'Ooh, well, I'll go ask my supervisor...'
Woman goes out of the room, forgets the doors have glass panels in them, so we watch her stand there like a numpty for a minute and come in again.
'OK, we'll let you have the benefit forms this once...'
And yes, reader, I did complain in writing. Got a generic 'shouldn't be happening, will ensure doesn't happen again' response.
I'm now on the pregnancy ride again, and the pack had even less potentially useful stuff than last time, eg ads without any coupons. There was a teabag.
Will claim the next one from Sainsbo's as you get Nectar points and £5 off clothing, but will probably use fake details. Though if you claim not to have a phone or email, it cuts out 99% of the spam.
The magazines you get in the MW waiting area have improved a lot since 2008 though - there's a strip cartoon soap about breastfeeding, and discounts/coupons for 3 types of reusable nappy.
