Short answer: a good pregnancy announcement caption is short, warm and says the news plainly, such as "Baby is on the way" or "Our family is growing". Pick one below, add the due month if you like, and keep a second idea for the gender reveal. Copy any of these and change the details to suit you.

Tips for posting your announcement
- Tell close family first. Make sure parents and siblings hear it from you, not from a post. Our guide to announcing a pregnancy to family helps.
- Keep the caption short. One line next to a good photo works best.
- Add a month or season if you want a countdown, or leave it out if you prefer privacy.
- Check who can see it. Review your privacy settings before you post.
- Think about names. You do not need to share the baby's name now. Ideas for later are in baby name reveal ideas.
When it is time to share the gender, we have gender reveal announcement captions ready, and our Thanksgiving and Christmas pregnancy announcement ideas cover the holiday photo.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good caption for a pregnancy announcement?
Something short and warm, such as "Our family is growing" or "Baby is on the way". Add the due month if you want, and keep it to one line next to your photo.
What can I write for a funny pregnancy announcement?
Light jokes about sleep, snacks or the family pet work well, for example "Plot twist: there will be a tiny roommate". Keep it kind and avoid anything that could upset a friend.
What caption suits a second baby announcement?
Mention the older child, such as "Big sister in training" or "Our family of three is becoming four". A photo with the sibling holding a sign works nicely.
Should I include the due date in the caption?
It is up to you. A month or season such as "arriving this spring" is a gentle option. Many people leave the date out to keep some privacy.
