30 Delightful Pregnancy Announcement Ideas

For many couples who are excited to start a family, a positive sign on the pregnancy test is almost as good as – or maybe even better than – a winning lottery ticket. And just like winning the lottery, you want to tell your family, your friends, and the whole world about your pregnancy!

Getting pregnant, especially if it is your first time, can feel overwhelming. You may not know where to begin! After all, so many changes are happening in your body now and you are beginning to grow your little person inside you.

It is totally possible and normal to want to keep the news to yourself. You may want to tell your partner, though, if you haven’t yet. You will be going through this moment together, so it’s best to let them know right away.

But for the rest, including your family and close friends, it’s completely alright to wait. While some people are okay with announcing the pregnancy on the get go, some are more comfortable waiting until a doctor confirms the pregnancy. Some even wait until the second trimester when the risk of a miscarriage is lower.

Ready to Make the Announcement?

You can make your pregnancy announcement whenever you are comfortable. Before you come to this point, you don’t have to spill the beans even if other people are pressuring you to do so. Your pregnancy, your rules.

Now, as soon as you are finally ready to tell the world about the wonderful news, it’s time to figure out how you are going to announce the pregnancy.

Before letting everyone know, it is best to personally share the news to both of your families. If this is not possible, call them up and let them know. They may feel hurt and unimportant if they find out about your pregnancy along with everyone else. This also applies to your closest friends.
