Your Pregnancy

TELL EVERYBODY!

-

Your announceme­nt will not break the internet like Chrissy Teigen’s did, but a simple tweet that you’re pregnant will certainly make you feel as if it has. People love good news, and you’ll be overwhelme­d by the love you’re about to receive. So the best advice here: announce your big baby news when you have a couple of hours free to deal with the joyous fallout! Side note: make very sure there’s nobody who’s not on social media whom you should have told first (such as your faithful baby-jacket-knitting Auntie Alida. She doesn’t want to hear the news from your cousin. She wants it from you, in the old-fashioned way, via an actual voice call. Hard, we know, but do it). Likewise, tell anyone who needs to feel “special” the news separately. Some good friends don’t want to find out like the common masses. Now, when you’ve made sure and you’re ready, change your profile pic on Facebook, so that all your friends will get a notificati­on that you did so. Post that pee stick and see the messages roll in. Do the same across Instagram and your other social media profiles and soon you’ll be overwhelme­d by love. It’ll be delicious.
