Pregnancy announcements have become a creative endeavor on social media. For many parents, making a simple statement about their new family member is no longer enough. They feel the pressure to come up with something unique and engaging to make their message stand out. However, the more desperate these attempts are, the bigger the likelihood that they will turn out cringy and offensive.

The Facebook group 'That's It, I'm Pregnancy Announcement Shaming' is a true testament to this. Since the publication of our first article, the group has seen plenty of new ridiculous content. From tastelessly-staged images that make light of serious issues to pictures that objectify the expectant mother, the group continues to showcase the worst of the worst.

But it's also important to remember that these announcements, as bad as they may be, represent real people so we at Bored Panda want to stress that it's their communication that's being critiqued here, not them — we do not know these people or how they approach parenting. All we're certain of is that they probably could've put a little more thought into their posts.

    As you can see from the pictures, these announcements come at different stages of pregnancy. But experts think that there is actually no wrong time to make one.

    "Patients ask me all the time, 'When is it safe to tell everyone we're expecting?'" Heather Bartos, an OB-GYN in Cross Roads, Texas, told Today's Parent. "And I always tell them the same thing: 'Use your discretion. The decision is entirely up to you.'"

    It can also be a slow roll-out, if you want to. "Announcing your pregnancy to one person—or one group of people—does not mean you need to tell everyone all at once," Bartos added. So your boss doesn't need to know at the same time as your mom or your best friend.

    A Brazilian couple is in hot water after they dyed a local waterfall bright blue on to announce the birth of their son during a gender-reveal party. The expectant parents are now being investigated by the local government and could be charged with an environmental crime.

    Fun fact: this water source was actually pretty much the only source of water in its area, as there was a serious drought going on at the time. And since the dye contaminated the water and made it unsafe to drink, the local people were left with little to no easily accessible water!

    With that being said, "It's usually pretty traditional to wait until the end of the first trimester, around 12 weeks, when miscarriage risks greatly decrease," Bartos said. “But there are several good reasons to share earlier." For instance:

    ADVERTISEMENT

    IVF babies

    "I shared the news with family at six weeks,” Bartos, who is also a mother of two, said. "We had IVF pregnancies. In fact, most of the earlier announcers in my own practice have gone through IVF, too."

    When everyone close to you already knows you’re going through in vitro (which often requires daily blood work, many months—or years—of treatment, and lots of medical appointments), it’s almost unnatural not to disclose the latest developments.

    Extreme morning sickness

    "This kind of physical burden coupled with not sharing the news can be quite isolating for some women," Shara Brofman, a clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive and perinatal mental health at the Seleni Institute in New York, said. "Telling early is a means to garner support."

    Remember that if you’re unable to work, or feeling ill all day (and all night) long, coworkers and family are bound to notice. One way to deal with extreme morning sickness is to discuss accommodations with your workplace.

    Past miscarriage

    This might seem counterintuitive, but for some women who have experienced pregnancy loss in the past, informing others early on is exactly what they need.

    Pregnancy after miscarriage can be a roller coaster of emotions, and some couples know they will want support and extra check-ins from loved ones, no matter what happens. "Ask yourself how you tend to cope with stressful situations," Brofman said. "If, for you, it often helps to have a few friends and family to safely share your feelings with, you might want to announce to some early.”

    From the size of the infant she's holding, and the detail on the u/s pic, she might end up with 2 under 1. Or 3 under 1, if that's twins (sis is holding up 2 fingers)

    Someone has some very low expectations for men. And sounds so trashy to ask people to "Leave that Drama Sh!t at home". Likely to be more. like a n episode of Jerry Springer than a baby shower.

    Early ultrasound

    While The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) recommends that women have their "dating" ultrasound—meaning the scan when you find out your due date—from 11 to 14 weeks, some get their scans earlier. (This might be recommended, for example, if you have irregular periods or aren't sure of the date of your last period.) Practitioners can often determine gestational age via ultrasound (either using a traditional abdominal ultrasound or an internal vaginal probe) after seven weeks.

    The term rainbow baby is pretty messed up. Calling your child that when they are old enough to understand will constantly remind them of your loss and the kid will grow up feeling like they have to compensate, like they're some kind of replacement or trophy. It's called survivors guilt and it's horrible to push that on a child.

    It’s been my experience that’s not true at all. None of my sisters children have felt they were less for being born after their brother died. None of my friends kids feel that way. My own children don’t feel that way. Pregnancy after loss is quite stressful. Using the term rainbow helps bring hope to the mind that’s convinced you’ll lose this baby, too.

    "You see my daughters, this is how you will refer to a man from now on. My toxicity has been passed..."

    Some genetic screening is back

    Some pregnant women receive non-invasive prenatal testing (sometimes called cell-free DNA or cfDNA, or the Harmony test) as early as 10 weeks (depending on your age, whether the pregnancy is a high risk, and other factors).

    Here, parents-to-be can learn whether there are any indications of Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities a bit earlier than the more traditional screening that’s typically completed between weeks 11 and 14.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    As a bonus, if you choose, the NIPT can also determine the sex of the baby, without waiting for the anatomy scan. (If you do not do the NIPT, you’ll get a nuchal translucency scan, an ultrasound that measures the fetus’s neck fluid—see below.) "For some, getting more information helps them feel more confident to announce," Brofman explained.

    Primetime for pregnancy announcements is around the end of the first trimester and the start of the second. This is because:

    Miscarriage rate drops

    Come trimester number two, most women's chances of a miscarriage drop to roughly 1-5%. “[At this stage], many couples now feel more comfortable bringing people in on their excitement—and even allowing themselves to feel their own excitement more fully,” Marissa Long, a licensed clinical and reproductive health psychologist in Southern California, said.

    I stuck around an extra month & a half 😅 this was the beginning of the 80s, so they didn't induce very often back then - & my mom did a bunch of drugs the first half of the pregnancy, so I figure I just took my time catching up to where I should have been 🤣

    Morning sickness and exhaustion may reduce

    Most women generally start to feel less sick right about this time too. So they might be excited to share the news because they’re no longer bogged down with nausea or feeling cruddy.

    There are, however, reasons why couples may want to wait even longer.

    Feeling ambivalence

    Whether your pregnancy was planned or not, many women are unsure of their feelings about becoming a parent. "When you’re aware that others will react with excitement and they’ll expect the same from you, it can be easier to avoid that pressure rather than pretend or force an emotion that you don’t have," Long said. Additionally, a pregnancy announcement often puts the spotlight squarely on the mom-to-be. If you’re attention-shy, you may simply want to savor your privacy for as long as you can.

    The anatomy scan

    Between weeks 18 and 20, women get their anatomy scan (also known as a level two ultrasound), at which they can learn their baby's sex (if they desire to). At the same time, a clinician checks to see if the baby's size and position are on target and if the baby’s brain, heart, lungs, and other organs are developing as expected. "For those who have a very real concern about genetic disorders, they may not share their news until this scan offers some reassurance," Long noted.

    The attempted rhyming of “secret” and “celebrate” are unaliving me

    For the majority of first-time mothers, the tell-tale baby bump usually "sticks out" at about 14 to 16 weeks of pregnancy, making it harder not to share (without some very strategic wardrobe decisions).

    In the end, there is no single right time to announce your pregnancy. In fact, the mere idea that there is a ‘right’ time can cause distress and create worries.”

    Just go with your gut. Unless it tells you to make a pee stick popsicle.

    I read: "My name is Teenenclvi" which sounds like a Lovecraftian god introducing itself.

    Do their friends and family get to come up with the name using only those letters?

    If it's sweet and layers of dough and whatever, fine, but nothing that color should be savory.

    You know you messed up when your pregnancy announcement looks like a miscarriage announcement.

    We get it. You're goth parents having a goth baby. Would be more appropriate for an October due date.

    These white and bland looking style of shoes are considered "dad shoes" in America. There's a brand named New Balance, which is known for making extremely comfortable but very blandly designed shoes, which dad's love to wear because they no longer care about fashion. The Nikes in the pic look similar to the basic New Balance design.

    Those are Nike shoes. Nike's slogan is "Just Do It" They did "IT"

    That's how I took it as well. Idk why people keep trying to connect it with New Balance; I mean, yes, they are some "dad shoes", but these aren't NB, they're Nikes & "Just Do it" says it all...

    When my wife was pregnant with our first child, back in 1998, I scanned the sonogram into the computer, took a picture of my head, and put it into the sonogram so it looked like she was pregnant with me. Man, I wish I still had that picture.

    That's trashy, but not bad. Live and let live, with the huge cross and all.

    Are you calling Christianity a fake religion or claiming that their specific type/sect of Christianity is false?
