Cute Ways to Announce your Pregnancy to your Partner

Pregnancy announcements are so much fun to do, but it can be so hard to find out the perfect way to announce your pregnancy to your partner.

I had so much fun with this when I was telling my husband about each of our pregnancies!

Our first pregnancy I just woke him up and showed him the pregnancy test. I wish I had some cute way to announce to him so I knew the second time I was going to be cuter about it.

The second time I wrote him a cute card and showed him my test and we were so pumped together.

The third time I got him a book about fathers, wrote a card and showed him the test. We both balled our eyes out while he was reading the card I got him because we lost both of our two previous babies.

And with our third baby we had a tough time getting pregnant again, so we were both pretty emotional, raw, and very happy about our pregnancy.

It was such a tender moment and I was so grateful that I took the time to make the moment meaningful to him too.

I hope that this list of ideas will help you find the perfect way to announce to your partner that you’re pregnant. And I hope that when you announce to your partner that you will be able to have such a tender moment together.

Save this list for later as well so you can remember them.

Don’t forget to read a checklist of things you should do right as you find out that you’re pregnant and your checklist of things you should do in your third trimester!
