19 Less-Than-Convenient Ways Parents Let Others Know They’re Expecting A Child

Howard Hackle

We no longer live in a society where taking a picture of a positive pregnancy test is enough to declare that you're expecting a child. Such a post would receive so little attention that social media algorithms would bury it so far down in people's feeds that even your parents would miss it.
You'll need to come up with something more appealing to get the word out. While some people succeed in coming up with fascinating and imaginative methods to inform their friends and family about the impending addition to their family, others try so hard that they utterly overdo it.
There's a Facebook group called 'That's It, I'm Pregnancy Announcement Shaming,' and it's full of all the inappropriate innuendos, sexist statements, and other popular cliches that people seem to think are acceptable for such an event. However, since the group's inception, its members have shared so much content that finding the best (worst?) jewels would take an eternity. But don't worry, we have already done it for you.

#1 Under his eye

Many expecting parents wait until the end of the first trimester, around week 13, to tell their friends and relatives. And there are several reasons for this.
First, there's the possibility of miscarriage. For both the parents and their child, the first trimester is a time of great growth and change. With all of the changes, there's a chance the pregnancy won't make it to term.
Unfortunately, between 10% and 25% of all pregnancies terminate in miscarriage, with the first trimester accounting for around 80% of all miscarriages.

The majority of miscarriages are due to circumstances beyond a mother's control. (In fact, many members of the medical community are opposed to using the phrase.) About half of the cases are due to chromosomal abnormalities, which result in the baby's failure to develop normally.
Other reasons of miscarriage in the first trimester include:
a mother's illness; a luteal phase deficiency (a difficulty with a woman's monthly cycle); hormone abnormalities; and uterine adhesions (scar-like tissue).
