When you find out you’re pregnant with baby number two, three, four, or beyond you have a special opportunity to use your children in your pregnancy announcement. There is no more precious way to announce your new pregnancy than by featuring the children who are excited that they are finally becoming big brothers or big sisters. These adorable siblings pregnancy announcement ideas will be sure to help you find the perfect idea to replicate.
Choosing the Right Time to Send Your Sibling Pregnancy Announcement
Most women choose to announce their pregnancies right around 12 weeks. In high-risk pregnancies you may choose to wait until you are 20 weeks pregnant. For others whose family members are eagerly awaiting the day that they announce a pregnancy might choose to announce it right at the start of the pregnancy.
There is no right or wrong time to choose to announce your pregnancy to family, friends, and followers. Whenever you feel comfortable is the perfect time.
One thing that is great about sibling pregnancy announcements is that you can do them any time of year.
Adding the siblings to this special time can be your entire theme. Or you can check out one of the holiday themes above if they fit the time of year when your baby is either due to be born or when you’re choosing to announce the pregnancy, and blend the siblings in with a seasonal theme too.
Creative Photo Ideas for Your Siblings Pregnancy Announcement
There are so many adorable ways to utilize the new big siblings in your pregnancy announcements. You can set up a photo shoot at home, hire a professional photographer, or use props like a letterboard or ultrasound photos.
Have a look at all these perfect siblings pregnancy announcement ideas and find one you’d love to recreate.
The Belly Kiss
No matter how many kids you have or whether you get a professional photo shoot or do it at home, a sibling kissing mom’s belly is sure to let family and friends know what is to come.
These photos work best if you are already showing a bit when you announce your pregnancy. But your bump doesn’t have to be as big as this. Even a little extra pushing out of your stomach can help make a better belly-kissing pregnancy announcement.
If you already have the baby’s name picked out consider writing it across your belly. Or you could just write baby boy or baby girl and even the due date if you want.
Ultrasound Sibling Pregnancy Announcements
Have your kid or kids hug your belly while holding an ultrasound. This helps to get the point across if you’ve chosen to announce your pregnancy at the end of the first trimester and aren’t showing yet.
You can even announce your new pregnancy simply by having your husband or friend snap a photo of you and the new big sister or brother snuggling and looking at ultrasound images. This is such a sweet idea.
You can hold the ultrasound photo over your pregnant belly with the sibling nearby. This is also a great choice if your belly is still small.
It doesn’t have to be difficult to make an adorable pregnancy announcement with siblings. Just have them hold up an ultrasound photo for a perfect picture,
You can tie in a letterboard or chalkboard along with an ultrasound image for a really clever idea. Say something like “only child expiring 2024,” or “baby Smith due Feb 2024,” or “I’m a big sister.”
If you want to feature the whole family but not necessarily their faces in your pregnancy announcement, consider this creative idea where you buy baby shoes and place them next to the family member’s feet.
If the weather is nice you could even take this idea outside to the grass.
Painting the Baby Bump
Have you ever painted your bump during pregnancy? It’s pretty cute and memorable. You could number your kids and your belly to show that there is a new child on the way.
You can also paint a heart on your belly which makes it clear to everyone that a new little love is on the way.
Just letting your kids creatively paint on your belly can be an enjoyable and bonding experience that also makes a great pregnancy announcement photo.
If you are celebrating a rainbow baby (a baby after the loss of another) you may wish to convey that in your announcement, like by painting a rainbow over the new baby.
Professional Family Photos
Professional family photos always turn out amazing. You can leave the photoshoot ideas up to a photographer who is used to capturing special moments. You might have a nice photoshoot outside, they probably have props to use, and take higher-quality images than we can take with our phones.
