My wife and I spent 3 years in fertility treatments, which involves a lot of online activity similar to that of someone newly pregnant (buying pregnancy tests, researching symptoms, etc).
We were constantly bombarded with pregnancy related advertising, it really ramped up after the first year. Tons of "congratulations" cards, coupon books, "new mom" magazines, up to and including unsolicited shipments of formula and branded blankets.
So to answer your question, it's still happening, and it's disgusting. I strongly suspect Carrot Fertility sold our information because the peak of it all happened a couple months after I gained access to them through my employer.
(We did eventually succeed, our baby is nearing 6 months)
