Pregnancy Announcement with Books

Announcing your pregnancy with a maternity-relatedΒ bookΒ is a sweet way to reveal that you are expecting. The great thing about doing a pregnancy announcement with books is that you can incorporate as many or as few people (or animals!) as you’d like.

There might just be another baby boom from all of the pregnancies that are happening during the pandemic quarantines, stay-at-home orders, and lockdowns. For a Coronavirus-related pregnancy announcement, you could reveal that you and your partner β€œdidn’t practice social distancing” or got carried away with β€œquarantine and chill.” Sharing that you two couldn’t stay six feet apart is a silly yet timely way to share your big news.

If the timing is right, tying in some holiday cheer is a fun way to announce your pregnancy !

For a child that’s currently potty training, you can opt for some low-brow humor by sharing a snap of them on the toilet announcing that β€œnumber 2 is on its way!” Star Wars fans will eagerly await their fourth pregnancy to do a movie-themed β€œMay the Fourth Be with You” announcement.
