10 Facebook Status Updates and Ideas to Announce a Pregnancy

Looking for creative ways to share your pregnancy announcement on Facebook? These status update tips might help you.

As a general rule, you should wait until you are at least ten weeks along before posting the news on Facebook. Of course, you don't have to wait to tell. You are welcome to announce it immediately. However, remember miscarriages are not as common after 10 to 14 weeks of pregnancy. It can be even more painful to cope with a miscarriage when it has been made public.

If you have a close friend or family member who is currently experiencing infertility, please tell them first before posting the news. Try to be as sensitive as possible.

Here are a few great ways to announce your pregnancy on your Facebook status.

Status Update Ideas

1. "We've told our immediate family, and are so excited to tell you! We're pregnant!"

This is a simple update that gets the message across. Just make sure you actually have told your family, or you run the risk of hurting feelings. It is not ideal for your parents, siblings or close family to learn about your pregnancy through Facebook.

2. "....has a bun in the oven."

This is a fun announcement. However, you might have people asking, "Who's the baker?"

3. "I'm ecstatic! My parents are going to have their first grandchild, and my brothers are going to have their first niece or nephew."

This is a clever way to share the news on a Facebook status update. Of course, this can only apply if your baby will be the first grandchild. You could make it that your parents are going to have their 4th (or whatever number the baby is) grandchild instead.

4. "Wondering what the future holds for the class of 2029......"

This is a bizarre way to announce the pregnancy. It might take awhile for your friends to get it, but it is a unique Facebook status update. You could also post a picture of a bib that says "Class of ..." (Fill in the year for the year your child will graduate high school.)

5. Wait to post until April 1, when everyone will think it's an April's fools prank.

If you're planning to announce it the end of March, wait until April 1st. Then everyone will assume it is an April fool's Facebook status update. Just type, "We're pregnant!", or "I'm expecting!" They'll learn soon enough, though.

Facebook Photo Ideas

1. You holding your tummy, next to an oven

This is a rather unusual way to share the news, but your Facebook friends should get it... eventually. You could also literally have a bun in the oven in the photo.

2 You wearing a shirt that says "Baby" with an arrow pointing to your tummy

You can buy a shirt that announces a pregnancy online or in some maternity stores. Or, you can make your own at most t-shirt print shops. (And, there's several Etsy sellers who would be thrilled to create one as well.)

3. Your child holding a sign that says, "I'm going to be a big brother!"

This is a fun way to announce it if you have a song or daughter. You could also post a picture of your child wearing a shirt or hat that says it.

4. Your dog next to a sign that says, "My days as the only baby in the household are numbered."

This is a silly way to announce it, but it's great if you love your dog.

5. Sonogram Photo / Photo of the Pregnancy Test

This is a common, but sweet way to announce it on Facebook. Everyone will be congratulating you immediately!

These are just a handful of suggestions on how to announce a pregnancy on Facebook. It is probably best to avoid mentioning pregnancy symptoms (such as morning sickness), but that is your personal choice.
