This is the first year I will not be going (have gone the past 4 years) as I am out of the area to go. But I have been tot he Welly one and I loved it. Got heaps of freebies and if you sign up to the mag subscriptions (Treasures and now OB) you get a freebie bag.

Yes I'm going tomorrow hopefully (skiving off work  )
I think the freebies were far better when my two oldest were babies we'd come home with heaps of huggies and treasures samples way more than the entry cost.
But I still love going anyway and you do still get a heap of freebies. Make sure you get a "Reach Me" pack they are usually really good.

Ha ha Katherine!
I'll be there roaming around, you can't miss me - I'll be the one with the frazzled expression and an entourage of children + the nanny. If you see us, come over and say hi! My gremlins are pretty easy to spot!

We are heading there tomorrow, had Mum and Dad tee'd up to have Jack for months!
Haven't been since 2006 when I was about 10wks pg. Got some great specials although I hear a rumor that the specials may not be as good this year due to the NZ$. ONly thing I didn't like when I was there last was the crowds, but then I was pg and had ms! Hoping that by getting there when it opens tomorrow we will avoid the worst of the crowds

I went this morning and enjoyed it. I thought last year had more freebies but that was when I was pg so possibly because I went to different stalls this time. I did buy some books for $2 each, a spare safety sleep for $60 and a few other bits n pieces. I bought our Phil and Teds pram there last year and saved heaps. There are definately bargains there.
I completely missed the OhBaby stand though - gutted! My friend couldn't find it either so I'm glad I'm not the only one who was blind. 
Oh by the way - it is sooo much easier to go when you have a pram to carry all the things you get

Went this morning with a friend and found the oh baby stand. Would have stayed longer but she had to rush off as she was going away for a scrapbook retreat.

if you go be warned there are no hand washing facilities in the parents area. change tables look a bit skanky too...
U + Baby stand had some very cool bargains. good quality imported clothes for $10...wish i had got more tho.
for you cloth nappy freaks the baby factory had peapods cheap and also real nappies and they have some great new coloured nappy covers. i got a pink one! $12.
