“That’s It, I’m Pregnancy Announcement Shaming”: 30 Cringy And Embarrassing Ways Parents Announced They’re Expecting (New Pics)
Pregnancy announcements have become a creative endeavor on social media. For many parents, making a simple statement about their new family member is no longer enough. They feel the pressure to come up with something unique and engaging to make their message stand out. However, the more desperate these attempts are, the bigger the likelihood that they will turn out cringy and offensive.
The Facebook group 'That's It, I'm Pregnancy Announcement Shaming' is a true testament to this. Since the publication of our first article, the group has seen plenty of new ridiculous content. From tastelessly-staged images that make light of serious issues to pictures that objectify the expectant mother, the group continues to showcase the worst of the worst.
But it's also important to remember that these announcements, as bad as they may be, represent real people so we at Bored Panda want to stress that it's their communication that's being critiqued here, not them — we do not know these people or how they approach parenting. All we're certain of is that they probably could've put a little more thought into their posts.

A Brazilian couple is in hot water after they dyed a local waterfall bright blue on to announce the birth of their son during a gender-reveal party. The expectant parents are now being investigated by the local government and could be charged with an environmental crime.

Terrible Pregnancy Announcement! It Looks Like The Baby Died
Peryton 3 years ago
The term rainbow baby is pretty messed up. Calling your child that when they are old enough to understand will constantly remind them of your loss and the kid will grow up feeling like they have to compensate, like they're some kind of replacement or trophy. It's called survivors guilt and it's horrible to push that on a child.

When my wife was pregnant with our first child, back in 1998, I scanned the sonogram into the computer, took a picture of my head, and put it into the sonogram so it looked like she was pregnant with me. Man, I wish I still had that picture.

Some of these are truly awful, some are cheesy but cute. I don't think it's fair to lump them all in as "cringy and embarrassing."

Exactly, sometimes threads like these have posts that just don't fit in with the theme...

I don't know why we just can't announce normally these days, everything has to be a production so we can compete for likes

My announcement was just not drinking and smoking.
