Just about anything can be personalised now, so how about a Grandma or Grandpa mug/t-shirt/print? You could surprise your sibling with an auntie/uncle photo frame, cushion or apron. Remember their own sadness will tinge the excitement they feel for you. Try to tell these people separately before your big announcement and when you are on your own with them. There may be loved ones who are dealing with infertility, or the loss of a baby and a little thought into how to tell them will be much appreciated. When letting folk know of your baby news do be mindful of what some people may themselves be going through. A Final Word On Your Pregnancy Announcement Once you've had your first scan, and your bump has started to put in its appearance, you can let the rest of your friendship circle know about your pregnancy. Many people choose to wait until they've had their first scan before they tell people at work the news. You are entitled to paid time off for your antenatal appointments, and your workplace should also be assessed to ensure it is safe for you and the baby. But despite this, it's often wise to let them know as soon as you feel able to. But calm those nerves, pregnant women are well protected by law and have certain rights.īy law, you've no obligation to inform your employer that you're expecting until 15 weeks before your due date. It shouldn't have any bearing on your career, yet there's still that worry that somehow having a baby will make you less valuable as an employee. Many mums-to-be may be concerned about telling their work about their impending arrival. Letting a few select people in on the secret that you're pregnant will mean they're there to help and support you. No one knows how you'll feel in the first weeks – but it's unlikely you'll sail through without as much as a whiff of nausea, fatigue or unusual craving. You may want to share the news that you're pregnant with a best friend early on so that you have some support in the early stages. Don't feel pressured into telling anyone until you're ready. Many parents-to-be choose to only share their news with a very few close family and friends in the early weeks, before making the big announcement once they've passed their first trimester.
Once you find out you're pregnant, you may like to keep it to yourself and your partner for a while, or perhaps just tell a close relative or best friend who can offer some support when you're feeling emotional and who you can bounce baby name ideas off. The last thing you want is for your Grandma to find out from her neighbour's best friend's window cleaner after all.
The general opinion is that the closer you are to someone the higher up in your pregnancy announcement schedule they should be. When to announce a pregnancy is a totally personal decision, and it usually also depends on who you're telling. Yes, you could just pick up the phone to tell people or post it on Facebook, but where's the fun in that? Why not get creative instead with one of these fun pregnancy announcement ideas. Telling people you're pregnant or that your family is growing is almost as exciting as finding out for yourself!
