When do you announce your second pregnancy?
This will often be informed by when you made the announcement for your first pregnancy. If you believe that you announced your first pregnancy too early, you might want to wait a little longer this time. However, if you think you could have done with family support and being able to share the good news earlier, then maybe you need to start working on your 2nd baby announcement in earlier weeks.
Some women feel more comfortable making the announcement earlier the second time around. This might be because they have gone through it all before and are less anxious about the risk of miscarriage, for example.
With another child in the family, you might also be so excited to share the news with them that you cannot hold off your announcement for long. You might even want them to help you to tell others.
Pregnancy announcements with siblings are a great way to make the announcement to everyone outside the family. They are also an excellent way to help your older kid to feel included in this big family event. It can be a really good bonding experience.
How to announce your second pregnancy on social media
- Big sister or big brother top for your first born
As explained above, pregnancy announcements with siblings can be good as a family activity. They are also a good way to announce your 2nd pregnancy on social media. If you are on social media and planning to announce your pregnancy there, chances are that your followers already know your first born. Get a photo of your little one in a ‘big sis’ or ‘big bro’ t-shirt as a cute way to let your followers know about your 2nd baby’s impending arrival.

- All about the bump
You can also take a photo of yourself with your growing bump as the focus. This photo can be just of you or you can include your partner and child too. They can both either point to your belly, kiss it or place their hands over it for the photo.
- Maternity photoshoot
If you can wait long enough to announce your second pregnancy or would like to book a photoshoot for earlier in your pregnancy than is usual, you can wait till you have photos from your maternity shoot and share those online. You might go this route if you really want to announce your pregnancy with rather professional photos. Of course, you could also set up your maternity photoshoot and use pictures from that social media.
