you’re pregnant! Congratulations! Now you can think about ways to announce your pregnancy on social media!
It’s an exciting time. Among all the joy and anticipation, is that beautiful warm moment – telling your loved ones that you are expecting. With so many people to tell, came the question of who to tell and how?
You only get one reveal, so make it one to remember! Read on to find out our favorite ways to announce your pregnancy on social media!
When to announce your pregnancy on social media?
Many parents-to-be wait until the end of the first trimester — at week 13 — to tell friends and family about their pregnancy.
Many factors influence why people wait until this time to share the news. First, pregnancy can be a certain thing. Often, couples decide to wait until three months have passed before they share their special news far and wide.
Second, nine months is a long time. Tasting the news with your partner can be really special, if you have time to share the news, it can be fun to keep it your little secret.
However, the most important part of your decision should revolve around what makes you happy.
How not to announce your pregnancy
Remember, your partner is ahead if they can’t find out with you. Then comes the grandparents, uncles and aunts and your bffs. Co-workers and the whole of Instagram are late.
You don’t mean to offend real friends if they only find out about it with the internet. Your boss will probably be upset when they find out after the whole office.
Remember that many family members will appreciate telling your special news in person, especially those close to you.
Keep those pointers in mind and then let your creativity run wild with our top pregnancy shows!
