100 Pregnancy Announcement Captions for Every Kind of News

Two practical notes

Put the month, not the date. "March 2027" answers the question everyone's about to ask in the comments, without committing you to a day that babies routinely ignore.

Announce in the order people expect to hear it. The person who finds out via Instagram, when they thought they'd get a phone call, remembers it. Worth ten minutes of calls before you post — a caption can wait; that one can't.
