It’s always fun to announce a pregnancy, but if you’re looking for a creative and giggle-inducing way to share the news, we’ve got all the inspiration you need. Funny pregnancy announcements can involve the dog, the big sibs, or a cute theme for just Mom and Dad. 

Maybe you’ll spell out something cheeky on a letterboard or say it with a funny shirt. Perhaps you’ll go all-out with a photo shoot that wows or a home-designed flyer complete with graphics and quotes. Whatever unique, adorable, and—most importantly—hilarious way you pick to announce your baby news will be so special. 

Have fun sharing your pregnancy with friends, family, and Facebook! Here are some funny ideas for how to announce that you’re expecting.

Have you ever seen such an adorable candidate? A campaign sign announcement is a funny and downright precious way to involve the older sibling(s)-to-be in the sharing of your big news, especially if you’re spreading the word during election season.

From Plant Mom to… Funny Pregnancy Announcement

Those finicky house plants just seem easy to care for; many of us have fallen for that trap. At least babies can let you know when they need something– although we bet that plant is crying on the inside… Good luck, Mama. You got this.

Angry Kitty Funny Pregnancy Announcement

For some reason, cats have the best RBF. This makes them perfect subjects for a hilarious pregnancy announcement! That pretty kitty does not look pleased about being replaced as the baby of the family, but babies make good cuddlers…so it should all work out in the end.

Morning sickness, confused toddler, and “Here we go again...” from Dad? Sounds about right. It’s funny because it’s true, so use those real-life moments to your advantage to create a hilariously relatable pregnancy announcement.

Give us those honest reactions from the children—and let them do the talking! There is nothing funnier than a disgruntled toddler’s reaction to the news of a new baby on the way. Keep it chilled out, with no special outfit to embrace the chaos. A simple pregnancy post with the kids just being themselves is just as easy as it is funny.

Another fun way to get an older sibling involved! Sure, a baby brother or sister will be a blessing in the end, but it’s kind of too cute to poke a little fun at the no-longer-only child when you can. A “crib eviction” photo shoot is a similarly hilarious idea. 

Bump Incoming Funny Pregnancy Announcement

This is such a creative way to announce a baby is growing in there! Chalk is an easy medium, but you can also do paint on paper or even invoke the sentiment on a white board. It’ll be comical to see how realistic your partner can draw your bump.

Anatomy of a Bump Funny Pregnancy Announcement

A couple with a baby is a couple with a baby. A couple with two kids is a 1:1 ratio in discipline, diapers, and drop-off. A couple with three kids? You’re officially outnumbered.
