Announcement Ideas

Have you announced your pregnancy to anyone yet? Do you have any ideas on how you want to announce to your family and friends? Let's see your ideas!

My husband and I have only told a select few other people (and I told my last BMB) at this point. I'm only 5w3d so it's still early for me to announce it to other people. I'm going to wait until my appointment on the 14th to see how that goes, and then go from there. Last time, we used a felt letter board and an ultrasound picture. I'll try to find it. But this time, I'd like to include our losses, maybe including a rainbow after the storm or something.

We’re hoping to wait as long as I can (lol) to announce to anyone. I have older kids 10 and 6 so I really wanna make it through the first trimester before we tell them. Also, nobody suspects us to have another as we have said time and time again we’re done! I hope to have a bump before we announce so we can really surprise them!

thinking of doing a bbq and taking a family pic then saying “everyone say *my name* is pregnant!” And catching reactions on video

@mamakeeg oh man, that would be amazing! I hope you do this.

I had a pokemon card for my husband (for over a year), so that’s how i told him. It said congrats on the baby!

Made a cute graphic on canva for my big sis (who will finally be the aunt after pumping out hecka kids for my auntie era) and mommy. Haven’t showed them yet.

not sure about others. My bff will get something cute when i ask her to be my baby’s god mama.

Mightn’t post online until like 20 or 30 wks

Good Morning, we plan to tell everyone on Easter. We have had shirts made. My fiancés says professional egg hunter with a picture of an Easter egg and sperm swimming towards it with two that’s attached. And mine says I’m the silly rabbit who can’t hide her eggs well. with an Easter bunny who looks pregnant with little eggs every where. I am so excited for Easter plus we are hosting the holiday at our home so it’s going to be epic. Little hints are going to be everywhere.

Going to a country concert the end of May and want to wear one of these shirts to then show people pics from the concert later. Thoughts?? Which one do you like more? Or is it more fun to blurt it out in person?? lol

I think the bottom one is a bit less busy so it draws the eye to it quicker. The top one is super cute though!

We tell our closest friends and family usually pretty early and bluntly. We told everyone else around 20wks after we find out the sex. I have 7 boys, so waiting till we know what we are having cuts out a lot of very unnecessary comments. I usually take a picture of my crew with the ultrasound pictures to send/post. Probably will do the same with this one.

brookejay06 · April 13

@nopegoat I can’t imagine the amount of comments you get about gender lol. Makes sense to wait till you know.

@brookejay06 I'm pretty sure us "trying for that illusive girl" (their words NOT mine!!!) is the only reason our big family is acceptable to many.... Incredibly frustrating.

I’m going bowling the first week of may with my boyfriend and his family (parents, a few siblings and their partners). I’m going to wear a shirt that says “mini bowler in the making”. I’ll wear something over it initially and when the time is right I’ll take off the over shirt! Very excited!

I told my sisters and parents with a picture of my bfp test. And then my husband sent a lovely text to my in-laws. We have been telling the people that we would want to be our support if something bad happens. Also told my mom group with a picture of my test mainly because we were having an Easter egg hunt and I was already nauseous so wanted to tell them, rather than having someone guess.

we will tell extended family closer to the end of the first trimester. They don’t live close so I don’t have to try to hide the horrible “morning” sickness.

edited to add that my updated username is WarriorPrincessStan.

@mamakeeg similar boat here. We have a soon to be 8 and 6 year old and I’m sure most will be surprised we went for #3. I’m kinda conflicted when to tell the kids. They know I don’t feel well, so I want to tell them soonish but also don’t know how to navigate a miscarriage with very “big hearted big feeling” boys.

@MrsPlatz me third. My girls are 10 and 6. And we said we were done.

My SIL announced her pregnancy a couple months ago right when she found out (got the girls hats that said “cuz” on them) and then had a miscarriage. Telling them was difficult, they did not fully understand even though we’ve had discussions about anatomy/pregnancy/etc.

I probably won’t tell my parents till after a good ultrasound or 12 ish weeks. If we tell them I know they will tell my younger siblings (15 & 17) and they will absolutely let it slip to the girls and then everybody will know.

My MIL knows but she has zero contact with my family (they do not get along at all).
