You’ve got the ultrasound pics. You’ve told your family. Now it’s time for the social media reveal—but how do you do it and what do you write in the caption?

Finding the perfect pregnancy announcement caption can feel almost as big as the news itself! Whether you’re going sweet and sentimental or leaning into humor (because hormones + bloating = survival via memes), we’ve got you covered.

Here’s your ultimate list of pregnancy captions and quotes—plus tips to help you pick the one that fits your vibe just right.

Tips for sharing your pregnancy announcement on social media

When to announce

Most couples wait until the end of the first trimester—around 12 weeks—to make the big news public. But this is totally personal!

Whether you’re posting early, waiting longer, or skipping social media altogether—you get to decide.

Finding the right tone

Do you want your caption to be:

• Heartwarming and tear-worthy?
• Cheeky and hilarious?
• Minimal and matter-of-fact?
• Inclusive and gender-neutral?

There’s no wrong answer—just go with what feels most “you.”

Types of announcements

• Classic photo with an ultrasound or bump
• Sibling or pet holding a sign (“I’m getting promoted!”)
• Flat lay of baby items
• Seasonal theme (pumpkin for fall, bunny for spring, etc.)
• Reel or video reveal with music and bump shots

FAQs

Q: Can I announce early if I want to?
A: Yes! There’s no rulebook. Some mamas feel excited to share right away. Others wait until after the first trimester. Do what feels comfortable and joyful for you.

Q: Should I share the sex or wait?
A: Up to you! Some announcements double as gender reveals, while others save that for a separate moment. If you’re going the surprise route, gender-neutral captions are your BFF.

Q: Do I have to include a photo?
A: Nope. A quote, a short caption, or even just a baby emoji is enough. It’s your moment—own it your way.

Final thoughts: let the caption match your joy! 

Whether you’re cracking jokes or sharing something tender, remember this: your pregnancy announcement is a celebration of your story. There’s no right way to share it—just the way that feels most like you.

So grab that bump pic (or your fur baby), choose your favorite line from this list, and let the caption match your joy ✨
