The Top 10 Popular Social Media Pregnancy Announcements
Pregnancies are joyful events that deserve to be celebrated. Parents-to-be are ecstatic about their little bundle of joy, and they would almost immediately share the great news to their close family and friends. However, we are living in the age of social media. Naturally, many parents would also like to take to social media to announce that they are expecting.
With that, here are 10 of the most popular ways to share that you are pregnant on social media!
Post your sonogram on Instagram
Nothing says that you are expecting quite like a snapshot of your baby’s sonogram. Sonogram pictures have a vintage-like quality that can perfectly match any feed, and they are sweet and intimate– the perfect preview of your little one.

Do a creative photoshoot with the rest of the family
For couples that already have kids, getting the rest of the family involved is one of the cutest ways to announce that they are expecting on social media. Expecting parents can line up their little ones from oldest to youngest– with the last spot naturally being reserved for the newest member of the family.

Do a behind-the-scenes special video of your maternity shoot
Maternity shoots are a great way to celebrate bringing in new life into the world, but photos are not the only things you can take away– you can also record a few snippets of your behind-the-scenes moments. Behind-the-scenes takes are precious memories that expecting parents can look back to fondly because they are raw, real, and unfiltered. To share the news on social media, consider creating an Instagram Reel or a TikTok post out of your BTS videos.
TikTok personality jessmarigarcia garnered a whopping 3.3 million likes on her TikTok showcasing behind-the-scenes footage of her stunning maternity shoot. Check it out below!

Take a video of you announcing the news to your loved ones
Your loved ones will surely melt at the news of you expecting a new baby. Perhaps this is why reaction videos are some of the most popular pregnancy announcements on social media. Many expecting parents record the reactions of their family and friends when they reveal they are expecting, and the result is always heartwarming.
faviolaalm took to TikTok to share the reaction of her parents when she announced she was expecting a son. The video has collected a stunning 2.5 million likes since, and it is enough to make anyone emotional.

Take a picture of the older sibling/s and their reaction to the news
This is another creative idea for expecting parents who already have children. Sometimes, older siblings can be ecstatic at the thought of having another baby in the family. However, sometimes, they are not so pleased.
This was certainly the case for mrsajori’s son in this cute Instagram post. Featuring her then-youngest son and a quirky, little sign board that says “Promoted to older brother”, this post collected tons of likes and comments wishing the expecting family well.

Incorporate a little bit of humor
Humor makes everything a little bit brighter– especially pregnancy announcements. This, of course, is totally up to the expecting parents. You would want something that can showcase your dynamic best or highlight your personality.
