40 Cringy And Embarrassing Ways Parents Let Others Know They’re Expecting, As Shamed On This FB Page
We no longer live in a world where it's enough to just take a picture of a positive pregnancy test to announce you're expecting a baby. A post like that would get such low traction, that social media algorithms would bury it deep down people's feeds and even your parents wouldn't see the message.
In order for the word to spread, you need to come up with something more engaging. And while some people successfully find interesting and creative ways to let everyone know about the upcoming addition to their family, others end up trying so hard, they completely overdo the whole thing.
There's a Facebook group called 'That's It, I'm Pregnancy Announcement Shaming' and it has all the inappropriate innuendos, sexist remarks, and other popular cliches that people apparently think are OK for such an occasion. Since the group's creation, however, its members have shared so much content, that it would take you a really long time to find the best (worst?) gems. But don't worry, we at Bored Panda have done it so you wouldn't have to.

Under His Eye
Tamra 3 years ago (edited)
I can often laugh at dark humor, but this isn't it. Either these people are ignorant, or they truly think it's okay to co-opt a theme of rape to announce their pregnancy. Probably both. It's sick. Editing to add: this is not the only couple to do this kind of announcement. Google "Handmaid's Tale birth announcement". A couple, from Florida, no less, were completely astounded at the negative reaction, and couldn't understand why people wouldn't like it. 🙄

I am guessing ignorant. I’m thinking they processed it in their minds only as far as “characters in a tv show and won’t that be funny” rather that processing it all the way to “rapist character and sex slave character”.

Honestly? Conservatives don't believe husbands can rape their wives. If they are married, he is entitled to sex from her, to her body. In the US, several states are rushing through overturning marital rape laws along with Roe v Wade, and if that isn't the writing on the wall of Gilead....

Many expecting couples wait until the end of the first trimester — around week 13 — to tell friends and family about their pregnancy. And there are quite a few reasons behind it.
First, the risk of miscarriage. The first trimester is a tremendous time of development and change for the parents as well as their little one. With all that change comes some risk that the pregnancy might not carry to term.
Unfortunately, between 10 and 25 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and roughly 80 percent of them occur in the first trimester.

WTF? The bees are not associated with fertility etc, why? Is is about pollination? :D
Most miscarriages are caused by factors beyond a mother's control. (In fact, that's why a lot of members of the medical community are against using this term.) About half are caused by chromosomal abnormalities, which means that the baby doesn't develop properly.
Other causes of first trimester miscarriage include:
- illness in mother;
- luteal phase defect (problem with a woman’s monthly cycle);
- hormone imbalances;
- adhesions (scar-like tissue) in uterus.

Age is another factor that contributes to the risks. Here are the chances of a miscarriage at different periods of a woman's life:
- Women ages 35 and under: 15 percent;
- Women ages 35 to 45: 20 to 35 percent;
- Women ages 45 and older: 50 percent.

This is weird, but I kind of like this one. It’s being honest about the “gender” reveal which is and has always actually been a SEX reveal: what genitalia the fetus has. I didn’t think of this until after both my AMABs were born but I would have liked to have had a party with a cake that when you cut into it, rather than it being *blue*, a bunch of candy penises fall out. Bc that’s all the info you’re getting from the ultrasound. And this respects that. It’s inclusive. (The AFAB version of this would be “growing another flower!” with a Georgia O’Keefe painting, or heck, an actual orchid. Too subtle for most probably.)
I'mNotARoboat 3 years ago (edited)
What's hilarious to me is that "orchid" is actually (for whatever reason) a reference to testicles. Orchids in reference to labia is a modern thing. From wikipedia: Etymology From New Latin Orchideae, Orchidaceae, an irregular formation from Latin orchis, from Ancient Greek ὄρχις (órkhis, “orchid, testicle”) (ostensibly from the shape of the roots[1]). Supplanted Middle English ballockwort (literally “testicle plant”).

People misuse both "gender" and "sex" a lot. For example what is generally called "same-sex marriage" is properly same-gender marriage. And of course, fundamentalist Christians insist that they are the same thing.
Load More Replies...If a developing baby lives to 7 weeks with a heartbeat, the risk of miscarriage drops to just 10 percent. In those beginning weeks when the risk is highest, women may not even know they're pregnant unless they've taken an early test.
After week 12, the risk of miscarriage falls to 5 percent for the rest of the pregnancy.
Given these numbers, it's understandable why so many parents wait until the risk of miscarriage drops before they announce about their pregnancy to the rest of the world. Having to tell people the sad news of a miscarriage shortly after announcing their pregnancy can be really difficult.

Not too bad, I'm assuming she's a surrogate for the men, unless it's a poly couple.
Another reason couples wait until the end of the first trimester has to do with prenatal checkups. Their first appointment may be around week 8 of pregnancy, or even later.
During the first visit, their provider will run tests to confirm the pregnancy, estimate the due date, screen for infections, and determine the general health of the mother and the baby.
For some couples, hearing that heartbeat for the first time or having an ultrasound to date the pregnancy is reassuring before announcing it to everyone.

If conceiving was problematic, the mother had a previous pregnancy loss, or had a stillbirth, couples may want to wait even longer than 12 weeks to share news of their pregnancy. And there's nothing wrong with it. (Something I can't say about most of the pictures in this list.) The decision is entirely up to them.
In these cases, they might share the news with some additional information:
- having an ultrasound that shows the baby is healthy;
- finding out the sex of the baby;
- reaching the halfway mark of pregnancy (week 20);
- reaching a personal milestone (e.g., when it starts showing).

Cara G 3 years ago
This is not correct information. You are most likely referring to the Dalkon Shield, a device that was manufactured and distributed during the 1970s and early 80s with a very high rate of complications and that resulted in over 300k lawsuits. The problem with the Dalkon shield was its flat, porous structure that allowed for bacteria to proliferate on the device itself and in the surrounding areas, resulting in cases of septicemia, pelvic inflammatory disease, fertility loss, and sometimes death. It was pulled from the market and the company filed bankruptcy as well as paying out millions in damages. It bears no resemblance to the current IUDs on the market, which are the safest and most effective long acting reversible contraceptive option. The risks associated with IUDs now are a slightly higher chance of an ectopic pregnancy if the device fails, possible migration/expulsion of the device, and puncture of the uterus if improperly inserted. And even still these risks are extremely low.

Nearly 3.7 million babies were born in the US in 2021; that's about 46,000 more than were born in 2020, but the 1% increase still put the number short of 2019 levels.
According to Beth Jarosz, a demographer and program director with the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau with a focus on child well-being, the drop in birth rates in 2020 was one of the largest in decades, and the slight rise in 2021 "doesn't necessarily mean that that declining trend is over." So whether we'll see more or less pregnancy announcements online is still unclear. Let's just hope that the ones that do cross our radars will be better than these!

"Criticizing the name"... - what? "Aurora" is an established name! Maybe not terribly common, but still a regular name for a girl. Originates from roman mythology, as does the name for the light phenomenon. Nothing to criticize here.

While navigating the realm of social media announcements, expecting couples often seek creative ways to share their joyful news with the world.
However, much like the hilarious donut story that captivated audiences with its unexpected twist, a simple and genuine approach can sometimes make the most impact.

He's Your Son, Not Your Boyfriend
Tenacious Squirrel 3 years ago
There’s a lot of weird (creepy) cross over with parents making references to their kids in a way that they sound like their love interest. This is one example. Others are things like fathers being concerned about their daughters virginity, parents being jealous of their kids partners, daughters being “given away” to their husband by their fathers, and so on. There’s nothing cute or loving about it.

Lot Going On Here, But Try To Count The Pee Sticks!

As someone pregnant after a miscarriage - I totally understand the obscene amount of pee-sticks. I have peed on a stick everyday out of anxiety. So her sentiment - her feeling, I get it. It's just a ton of money because ClearBlue is a very expensive brand!
