Oh my goodness, you’re pregnant! First of all, congratulations on your little miracle! I remember staring at that positive test with my heart doing Olympic-level gymnastics in my chest.
Once the initial shock wears off (and maybe after you’ve finished happy-crying in the bathroom), comes the fun part – sharing your amazing news with the world!
Whether you’re a first-timer or adding one additional mini-me to your crew, choosing the perfect words to announce your pregnancy on social media can be oddly intimidating. Do you go for funny? Sentimental? Include your fur babies? (The answer is always yes to the pets, btw).
I’ve put together 100 caption ideas to help you spread your joy, from tear-jerkers that will have your mother-in-law reaching for tissues to ones that will have your college roommate snort-laughing. So take a deep breath, mama – I’ve got this!

Conclusion
Whew! All that awesomeness and sassy banter! I remember rewriting my pregnancy announcement captions twenty times while my husband kept saying “just post already!” Looking back, perfect grammar didn’t matter – sharing our joy with loved ones did.
Whether you go for tear-jerking or laugh-inducing (that burrito baby one speaks to my soul!), the perfect announcement is simply what represents YOU. As a mom who’s been there multiple times, I promise whatever caption you choose, hitting “post” will be unforgettable.
There’s no “right” way in parenthood – only your way. A simple “We’re pregnant!” with an ultrasound works perfectly too! From one mom to another, enjoy this beautiful chapter – stretch marks, weird cravings and all. Your heart (and underwear drawer – hello maternity undies!) is about to grow in amazing ways. Congrats and welcome to the wild ride!
