I try not to take anything too seriously in life. Not even the creation of new life! So I’m a big fan of funny pregnancy announcement ideas. But how do you announce a pregnancy in a funny way? What should you say? Whether you plan on saying it with a picture, a shirt, or just a funny social media post, I’ve got you covered! This page features some truly funny pregnancy announcements.
First, real quick: How soon is too soon to announce a pregnancy? In my opinion you should tell your partner and/or the father pretty quickly. It impacts them the most (other than you), and they are the best person to support you through the ups and downs of pregnancy! Other than that, everyone can wait until after you’re 12-13 weeks pregnant. This is generally considered the “safe zone” where the odds of miscarriage have dropped to a minimum.
Now, let’s get to some side-splitting pregnancy announcement ideas!

Funny Pregnancy Announcement to Family
To Husband
Tell your husband he’s going to be a dad with this subtle but powerful coffee mug. It looks plain on the outside, but it has a special message at the bottom. Bring him a hot cup of coffee one morning, then smile and patiently wait for him to finish. He’ll wonder if you’ve poisoned him at first, but the look on his face when he takes that last swill will be priceless.
To Parents (The New Grandparents)
There are lots of fun ways to tell your parents you’re pregnant, but this one is my favorite. Just put some noise reduction ear muffs on your parents, then whisper whatever you want them to guess! It can be as simple as “I’m pregnant” or more complicated like “You’re going to be grandparents!” They have to keep guessing until they get it right… and they’ll know it when they do.
To Your Siblings
In this video, the parents-to-be are playing a game of Mad Gab with their siblings. They have to take a seemingly nonsense sentence and turn it into actual words – and when they finally do, it’s awesome!
To Your Kids
If you’ve already got one or more children, their reaction alone is probably going to be hilarious. But these jigsaw puzzles make them work for it! You can get custom, individual jigsaw puzzles for each of your kids and tell them whoever finishes first will know a big secret. The pieces are pretty big so it should be pretty easy, but really young children may need some help to complete and read it.
Pregnancy Announcement Using the Dog
By far the best way to use your dog to announce your pregnancy is to put a “Mom’s Pregnant” bandana around their necks and wait for people to give them pets and scritches! If you normally put bandanas on your dog already, it’ll work even better. They won’t suspect anything until they happen to see it.
Funny Baby Announcement Ideas to Coworkers
Pique Curiosity in the Break Room
If you work in a larger office with plenty of women, sneak into the breakroom and drop off some pink- and blue-frosted cookies or donuts. Put a placard next to them that says “Someone here is having a baby. Can you guess who?” You’ll be hearing the buzz around the building in no time. The question is, will someone be brave enough to confront you?
Send an Important Email
A simple but super-effective way to announce your pregnancy at work is to send a work email. You shouldn’t send it to the whole company unless it’s super small. Just pick the coworkers you’re closest to. Start it off by making it sound official and that someone is joining the team, then tell them you’re the one expanding right now! You can download the template above for free and make it super-easy.
Unexpected Pregnancy Announcement
Accidental pregnancies happen, but that doesn’t mean your pregnancy announcement shouldn’t be special! To surprise your entire family with your “oops” baby, schedule a family photoshoot and bring a prepared sign or letter board. Don’t let them see it until the photographer is ready to capture all of their reactions at once!
Funny Pregnancy Announcement Shirts
Some of the funniest shirts we’ve found are below, but we’ve also rounded up over fifty of the best pregnancy announcement shirts too!
For First-Time Moms

The best pregnancy announcement shirt is one that is 1. funny and 2. can be worn throughout your whole pregnancy. This “kickin’ me smalls” shirt ticks both boxes! You can also get it in different colors or long sleeves, if needed.
For Couples
These cute his-and-hers pregnancy announcement t-shirts will do anything but shut up the family members who always ask when you’re having a baby. But now they’ll have new questions to ask, like “When are you due?” and “How did it happen?”… Like they don’t already know.
Hilarious Pregnancy Announcement Card
If you need to announce your pregnancy long-distance or you’re just not very verbal, you can still make the moment extremely funny. Just send them a card! You even have the option of printing it at home to send it ASAP. Get the files for this one here.
Witty Twin Pregnancy Announcement
Having twins lends itself to a whole new world of pregnancy jokes. This couple made the best of things by using the old “buy one, get one free” trope to announce their pregnancy on Instagram with baby onesies.
Announcing Another Child in a Funny Way
Whether it’s your second, third, or fourth (or more!) baby, there are definitely pregnancy announcements out there to pull ideas from! This is one of the funniest ones I’ve ever seen, and is very unique. How many people can say their pregnancy announcement photo came from a rollercoaster snapshot? And it’ll work no matter how many kids you already have!
Hysterical Lesbian Pregnancy Announcement
For some reason, stating the obvious in a pregnancy announcement reads as super funny. Of course she’s not the father, but the context of this photo is everything.
Silly Pregnancy Announcement Photoshoot
Most pregnancy announcements are done with photos these days. (Well, at least when you’re telling more distant family, friends, and social media in general.) The funniest pictures are always real about how everyone’s feeling. There’s no doubt what’s going on in each person’s mind with this one!
Amusing Social Media Pregnancy Announcement Memes
Funny pregnancy memes are posted everyday as a Facebook status or Instagram upload. My personal favorites are the ones that look like comedy movie posters featuring the parents-to-be looking shocked or worried. You can get one just like this customized featuring your info and photo from the Bright Color Mom Shop!

My husband is a huge fan of Legos, so our first social media announcement was an image I put together of Legos that looked like us! You can either piece together a photo with minifigure images you find online, or actually order your likenesses in minifigures and take pictures of them to post.
Minifigure babies can be hard to find, but you can order them on this website. While you’re there, create minifigs of you and your partner!
Funny Pregnancy Announcement Quotes and Captions
Finding the right wording for a funny pregnancy announcement can be tough. It’s just text, but comedy is sometimes insensitive. Choose one of these knee-slapper sayings to use in a card, Facebook post, or on a letter board in your photo shoot!
- “Nothing like a new pair of genes!”
- “I’m growing a human, but still killing all of the plants.”
- “We’re pregnant! Don’t worry, it was on purpose.”
- “[Partner’s name] is going to be a daddy (and I’m pretty sure it’s mine)!”
- “We’ve come up with the ultimate tax deduction for next year.”
- “As it turns out, [partner]’s pull-out game is WEAK.”
- “Dinner for two: $40. Weekend getaway: $250. Telling everyone you’re pregnant and then heading out of town so your phone doesn’t ring…PRICELESS!”
- “We took Netflix and chill a little too far.”
- “Bra OFF. Hair UP. Belly OUT.”
- “Does this baby belly make me look pregnant?”
- “Everybody leave me alone. I’ve had a busy day being pregnant and I have to do it again tomorrow.”
- From your partner: “I like big bumps and I cannot lie!”
Cute Pregnancy Announcement Riddles
If you want to make everyone work for it, you can always give them a riddle instead of outright announcing your pregnancy. Here are some you can steal!
- What gets a shower, but doesn’t get wet?
- We’ve decided that we no longer want plenty of sleep, time to ourselves, or a clean house. We couldn’t be happier!
- I’m small but very important. I’m free to make but expensive to keep. You can’t see me yet. What am I?
- There are three people in this picture. Can you spot the third?
Raunchy Pregnancy Announcement Poems
As long as you’re not posting it for easily-offended family members to see, feel free to use a naughty poem to announce your pregnancy! Try one of these on for size.
First came me,
Then came him,
Then came a new
tiny human!
There once was a man from the suburbs
Who liked to drink and smoke fine herbs
Then he found a hot woman
Who got him to comin’
And now she’s growing new curves!
Funny Holiday Pregnancy Announcements
Holidays are really popular moments for announcing pregnancies. The family is usually all together without you having to orchestrate it (which makes them suspicious), and the day will feel extra-special. Here are some funny announcements to use on the most popular holidays! We’ve also got a whole article dedicated to telling your husband you’re pregnant on Valentine’s Day.
Halloween
Your t-shirt will have everyone doing a double-take this Halloween! The classic x-ray t-shirt gets a maternity makeover with a little baby curled up in the bottom. Get the t-shirt here!
Thanksgiving
“Eating for two” is old news. But the “drinking for two” is accurate in so many ways. It’ll have your whole family laughing at the dinner table! Grab both shirts.
Christmas
Christmas is my favorite holiday. I even waited until I was 20 weeks pregnant and already knew we were having a boy to tell ANYONE I was pregnant with my son. Including my mom! And I did it all with a Christmas card. Just drop them in the mail and wait for the phone calls to blow up your phone in a couple of days. Download the printable card from my shop!
While You’re Here
If you’re posting this on social media and need the right wording, check out our pregnancy announcement captions for inspiration.
These have given me a real giggle but one quick advice; The ‘Guess the pregnant person in the office’ announcement is not a good idea unless you work in a very small office and know everyone really well. You never know who is struggling with infertility and its really worth just a being a bit sensitive.
This is really sound advice, Hannah. Sometimes we forget to be mindful of all the people around us in our excitement.
