A pregnancy can come with lots of thrill and excitement. There are so many decisions to be made with the baby announcement- like where to give birth, baby names, nursery to be decorated for the unborn and what toys to buy. But before anything else, how do you announce your pregnancy? Your pregnancy announcement can be quite creative, if you want it to be!
When Should You Announce Your Pregnancy?
We know that you cannot wait for the baby announcement; however, you need to be careful before you share the news. Various factors influence this decision but it is usually advised that parents-to-be should wait until the end of the trimester to announce their pregnancy and make an official baby announcement.
Pregnancy Announcement To Husband/Partner:
After the mom-to-be and the doctor, partners are the most important people who should know about the baby.
1. Bake A Cupcake
If your partner is a dessert lover, then the simplest way is to bake cupcakes and top it with an “I am pregnant” message on the icing. This is sure to get his attention.
2. Buy A Pair Of Baby Shoes
You can buy him a surprise gift and along with that, buy a pair of baby footwear. You can give it along with his gift for him to guess for himself, or else place it in the show cabinet- together with your shoes.
