Facebook Pregnancy Announcement: Classic

There’s no right or wrong way to tell others your news.

Honestly, you probably care more about how you announce your pregnancy than everyone else.

Your loved ones will be more excited about the newest addition to the family than how you decide to tell them.

Take a look at these classic tried and true ways to share your news!

1. Sonogram:

Post a picture of your sonogram with baby items and the expected due date. This is sweet and simple and no other words are needed. If you want to add a more personal touch, you and your partner can also get in the picture.

I’ve rounded up some unexpected ways to share a little one is on the way.

21. Holiday Announcement

If you decide to share your news near a holiday, why not use that for inspiration. It can be as simple as a picture with a pumpkin for Halloween, a letter board with a Christmas saying or even putting Santa hats on an ultrasound. Sky’s the limit.
