30+ Cute & Funny Ways to Announce Pregnancy on Social Media

Congratulations on your Pregnancy! So exciting! One of the hardest things about being pregnant is keeping it secret for the first few weeks, until it’s safe to tell all your family and friends. You’re so excited you want to shout it from the rooftops!

That’s why, when it’s finally time for the official reveal, you probably want a special way to announce your pregnancy.

I’ve rounded up here some of the best ways to announce pregnancy on social media, so that you can find the perfect one for you to use and tell everyone that you’re expecting.

When should you announce your Pregnancy?

I don’t think there’s one right answer here. It really depends on you / your partner and how you feel.

Most people usually wait until the end of the first trimester before announcing that they are expecting. That is because the first 12 weeks are considered to be at higher risk of miscarriage. In fact, during the first 12 weeks, there’s a 1 in 4 chance of a miscarriage, which then decreases as you progress with your pregnancy.

I would hate to have to tell everyone that I lost the baby, after I had already given them the good news. So, I have personally waited until 12 weeks when I was pregnant. But, my wife for example, really wanted to share the news of our first baby as soon as she found out she was pregnant.

She always said that, even if she lost the baby, having the support of people around her, who knew what she was going through, would have made it easier, instead of processing everything on her own. It really depends on you and how you feel!

Some people even wait until the 4-5 month mark because they want to reveal the baby’s gender at the same time! Do whatever feels right for you. 

If you wish to wait until further along your pregnancy, you could still start brainstorming some ideas on a pregnancy planner, that way you know exactly what you need to do when the time comes.

Who to Tell First?

“Who to tell first” also depends on you and how you feel. However, this is what I found worked best for me

1. Tell Your Partner first

Always start with your partner!! Telling someone else first might really hurt them otherwise. That is, unless you have taken the pregnancy test with him/her already, of course!

That’s what happened with me. The first couple of times I took a pregnancy test after IUI I was on my own, and they were negative. So the third time I did it with my wife: we were both glued to that stick for what felt like a lifetime. You can imagine the excitement when the second line appeared!

If you took the pregnancy test by yourself and you need to let them know, you can either choose to do something special with a gift, or just tell them.

2. Tell your Family and closest Friends

The first person I needed to tell I was pregnant was my mom. I couldn’t wait! And my dad of course … but I knew my mom was going to cry. Then came my brother and some closest friends. Again, you can either choose to do something special with a gift, or just tell them.

3. Tell your Employer

I know you probably can’t wait to tell the world on social media that you are pregnant. But if you have co-workers or your boss following you on social media, maybe tell them first and get that sorted out. 

First of all, you will avoid the awkwardness of them finding out on social media or from someone else first. Second of all, you won’t need to lie when you can’t go to work because of all the pregnancy tests you need to take.

I remember it was such a weight lifted off my shoulders when I told my boss. Every time I lied, because I had a blood test or a scan and couldn’t get to work, I was feeling terrible!

4. Tell The World
