33 Couples That Failed At Social Distancing And Revealed These “Quarantine Baby” Announcements
You've probably heard this joke a million times when the quarantine began: there's going to be a baby boom by the end of the year. Some laughed while nodding their heads and others thought it was impossible for couples to bring a new life into the world after seeing each other all day every day with no end in sight. But families are expanding. And creative parents-to-be are coming up with the funniest ways to announce their big news.
From saying they got the wrong kind of protection to little kids claiming their parents weren't good at social-distancing, its evident that some didn't lose their sense of humor during times of such great uncertainty.

According to Dr. Melissa Richards, an OBGYN at Olmsted County Medical Center, the hospital is expected to hit 1,000 births in 2020, which is something OMC hasn't done in more than five years.
That being said, she believes the "boom" won't be as drastic as some predict. "I wouldn't call it a boom, but maybe a bump," Dr. Richards told KTTC. "In 2019, we had 58 deliveries in December," Dr. Richards said. "This year, we are tracking to deliver 80 patients."
Lyman Stone, a research fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, pointed out that “events that cause a large increase in deaths tend to cause a large decrease in births nine months later.” Which is the complete opposite of the popular belief that a major natural disaster would inspire Americans sensing their own mortality to grow their families.
The researcher cited natural disasters such as hurricanes and famines, as well as previous pandemics to support the claim, saying that would-be parents may be traumatized by fear or concerned about how they would care for children during difficult and uncertain times. Still, such declines are often temporary.
You clearly did not follow Mr Presidents instructions with the Clorox
Me: "Why am I the only one who isn't going to be a parent after quarantine?" Voice in my head: "Because you're single, you hate kids, and 50% of your time in lockdown has been given over to Animal Crossing." Me: "I got all the fossils, so it was totally worth it."
Please correct me if I'm wrong but if this baby is 24 weeks old it was conceived well before most countries went into quarantine (Reading July 3). Even if you include China which went into lockdown February 4th. Not to lessen the joy of their announcement.
So as cute as these are.. it’s not as if couples in the same household are expected to socially distance...?
Is this a pregnancy announcement, or just a photo of baby wear that will tell everyone why said baby now exists?
My husband and I were trying for our 2nd BEFORE this whole pandemic thing... Now I am due in November and everyone thinks it's because of the quarantine... 🤦 🤷♀️
Very repetitive. WHAT a bad time to conceive, having to go to hospital during a pandemic is risky for mother and baby.
Well. It's meant for friends and family. And these people aren't looking at aggregate websites like Bored Panda to read the notice :) And then it's just cute.
Not to mention the future...this pandemic reduced greenhouse gases. These babies are going to reverse that. We are truly hopeless. I can't talk too much I have a grandbaby born 7 months ago. I have mixed emotions about the other 8 they want to follow..😔
Looking at some of the pessimistic comments here, I am astounded that the human race has not gone extinct long ago. If today's little fragile snowflakes think this is even in the top 100 of dire circumstances the human race has gone through, they are beyond foolish and misinformed. And, if their ilk had been a larger percentage of humanity in the past, it is likely we would not have persisted.
I so hope that none of these babies are going to be named Corona.
But after abcde I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Or Covid
Bud might be a better name
Uh... it's already happened... https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-twins-born-during-india-lockdown-named-corona-and-covid-11968479
Me eyes rolled so far back I could almost see my brain. Why would parents do that to their child. Firstly they are ridiculous names and secondly those kids are likely to be ridiculed over their names. What were they thinking?
Idiots don't think, they act, and say "to hell with the consequences".
Batman, Pangolin, Wuhan... Many possibilities
Didn't Elon and Grimes name their kid x~§…}}{{$#! ?
Rona wouldn't be too bad
Of course they will!
Sure are a lot of these that are basically "we had sex!!!". I don't get it. I mean I get the joke, but you can surely announce a pregnancy without highlighting how said pregnancy came about.
"Quaratine wasn't boring because mommy and daddy thought they had all the protection they needed, and didn't adhere to social distancing rules!" "We get it. Y'all fucked because you weren't at work."
LOL
Yeah it's low class
You can but they chose not to. Don't be a Debbie Downer. People fuck.
