Finding the perfect pregnancy announcement captions is no small feat. Pregnancy is one of those life moments that doesn’t feel real until you share it on social media. Just like becoming "Facebook official" with your significant other, announcing your pregnancy is incredibly special. So, we have compiled the best captions to help you find the perfect words to share your wonderful news.
Whether you're a serial scroller or a passive poster, finding the right words to announce your pregnancy is important. This is your moment to share the joy with your friends and family. Pregnancy can be challenging, but special moments like this make the nine months magical and, in truth, a little more manageable. It's like the moment you start showing in pregnancy, and it's you suddenly realise that a tiny human is on their way.
When planning your pregnancy announcement, it's great to reflect your personality in the post. Are you and your partner football fanatics super sentimental or known for your love of food? Incorporate these aspects into your announcement caption and photo. There’s no right or wrong way to share your news, but it's most meaningful when it’s true to you as a couple.
Whether you just got a positive pregnancy test or you're a seasoned pro at this, we’re here to help you celebrate in style. Check out these unique pregnancy announcement captions that are sure to get your comment section popping. From clever captions to a few creative photo ideas, we’ve got everything you need to make your big news unforgettable.

When to announce your pregnancy
There is no right time to announce your pregnancy; waiting until you and your partner feel most comfortable sharing the news is best. For many couples, this is after the 12-week mark. This is because the most likely time for a miscarriage is between six and ten weeks (there’s a 30 per cent risk), which lessens considerably from the 12-week mark. Other couples, however, start sharing the news the moment they see a positive result on the pregnancy test.
However, we recommend sharing the news with your close family and friends before posting on social media. A new baby is exciting for the whole family, and finding out on social media may be upsetting.
