The most exciting part about being pregnant is how expecting parents announce their news to family, friends and co-workers. Many people love getting creative when they announce to the world that they’re going to be parents.
Whether you’re first time parents or not, once you find out your due date, making that big announcement is an exciting time. Thanks to social media and the Internet, there are so many creative ways you can share the news with your family and friends… once you’ve told your husband, of course! Here are a few popular ways to announce a pregnancy.
Sharing your News on the Internet
Sharing your important news with social media is an amazing thing. Millions of people log onto social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook each day. In just a matter of a couple of minutes, you can make an announcement, and people all over the world will know what’s going on.
Twitter is an outlet where celebrities reach out to their fans. Actress Tori Spelling announced her pregnancy via her Twitter account. While most people won’t announce a pregnancy on Twitter, they will make a post about it on their Facebook page that they use to stay in touch with family and friends who don’t necessarily live nearby.
Some women will post a photo of them holding their pregnancy test or will wait until they’re showing to post a photo of their beautiful growing belly. Pregnancy is an amazing and beautiful thing, and expecting mothers want to share it with the world. The most popular photo to post on Facebook, however, is a picture of the ultrasound.
Some stores have parking spots for women who are pregnant. Some women park in the spot and use that as a way to announce they’re pregnant. You can get a little more creative by taking a photo of your car parked in the spot and uploading it to Twitter & Facebook. That will definitely get people talking and guessing.
Using Items to Announce your Pregnancy
A popular item kids like to buy for their parents are mugs that say “I heart Mom” or “World’s Greatest Dad”. Sneak off to the store to purchase one of those mugs and give it to him in the morning with his coffee in it.
Putting the pregnancy test in a gift box is a great way of announcing a pregnancy. Instead of using the actual test, purchase another one from the dollar store and draw in the lines announcing you’re pregnant. This might be a better option over using the real one that still has urine on it.
Writing letters and making phone calls are out, and social media is in. With social media, there are so many fun and creative ways you can announce to people that you’re expecting. This is a huge moment in your life that you want to share with others… so think of fun, new ways to announce your amazing news.
