    When couples announce their pregnancy, family and friends are usually just as excited as they are

    There are some moments in life that you can’t help but imagine ahead of time. Maybe while in college, you pictured yourself giving a graduation speech in front of your classmates. Or at work, you’ve mentally rehearsed a thank-you speech for when you finally complete that big project. We all do it—it’s a mix of excitement, optimism, and just a little bit of wishful thinking.

    But usually, these things stay in our heads until they actually happen. Especially when it comes to major life events, like a pregnancy announcement. Most couples wait until they know for sure before they start planning how to share the news. It’s a big deal, and they want the moment to be just right—something meaningful, personal, and exciting for their loved ones.

    In a blog post for Happiest Baby, Jenny Studenroth Gerson, an Atlanta-based lifestyle journalist and novelist, shares that one of the easiest ways to make a pregnancy announcement is by simply snapping a picture of the positive test and pairing it with a sweet caption. With just a little creativity, a heartfelt message, and maybe some fun props, couples can make the announcement feel special while keeping it simple.

    Expecting parents often look for fun and creative ways to share their big news with loved ones

    Mustela, in their blog, discusses the different ways people choose to announce pregnancies, whether through mailed birth announcements, social media posts, or even personal emails. “It’s entirely up to you—there’s no right or wrong way to do it,” they point out. Digital announcements have their benefits, like reaching family and friends instantly, but some still prefer the classic, sentimental touch of a handwritten card.

    For those looking for creative ways to break the news, there are plenty of fun ideas. Some parents-to-be set up a flat lay of essential baby products for a cute photo reveal. Others choose a more personal approach, handing out special cards to loved ones based on their new titles—for example, a card for an expecting aunt that simply says “Auntie-to-be!” Some even get their pets involved, dressing them up in little signs that say “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” to spill the news in the most adorable way.

    Couples also love playing around with seasonal or personalized themes. A summer pregnancy announcement might include tiny baby sunglasses and beach gear, while a winter one could feature a baby onesie with “Coming This Christmas” written on it. Some even go all out with themed photo shoots, complete with props and coordinated outfits, to make the moment extra memorable.

    But in this particular case, the fiancé wasn’t announcing something real—he was manifesting it. While positive thinking is great, making a surprise announcement at someone else’s birthday dinner without their knowledge? That might be stretching it a bit. What do you think? Was this just an innocent mistake, or was it completely out of place?

    People online showed immense support for the woman, questioning her fiancé’s actions

    He wasn't psychotic and confused, he was just lying to manipulate his fiancée into getting pregnant immediate so she won't have to explain it wasn't true. Once everyone has congratulated you, it's harder to say actually no baby . This isn't because of the bipolar, this is just him being manipulative AH and trying to get what he wants through charm and pretending objections aren't there. It's worse that he blamed his illness.

    Illness? Now being a manipulative shìtbag is an illness? People can have the flu. People can have cancer. People can have depression. And now people can have manipulative àsshole? How about recognizing him for what he is rather than veil his awful characteristics as something unpreventable.
