Social media is probably the most popular avenue these days for a pregnancy reveal. Some people might post a simple picture of an ultrasound or positive pregnancy test while others will pull out all the stops with a photoshoot and all.<\/p>\n
No matter what your style, we\u2019ve got some ideas for your social media reveal:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>While many people wait until the baby shower to have a party for their baby, it can be a great way to share your news with your loved ones.<\/p>\n Here are some ideas for your pregnancy surprise party:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Before you announce to the public and other people in your life, you\u2019ll probably share your news with your family. You might have family traditions, rituals, or other cultural practices around pregnancy that will influence how you do this. If you\u2019re still looking for some ideas, here are some ways you can share your pregnancy with your family:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Gender reveals are sometimes a part of someone\u2019s pregnancy announcement. We\u2019re all about inclusivity here at Intimina. While gender reveals have become more and more common thanks to ultrasound technology, they can also be a source of controversy. Your baby\u2019s biological sex does not equal their gender. This is the case with people who are non-binary, transgender, and intersex. It\u2019s up to you to take this information and decide if a gender reveal is the right move for you and your family.<\/p>\n As exciting as pregnancy is, for people who have experienced pregnancy loss it can also be a source of anxiety, nerves, and sadness. If this is you, know that we are so sorry. It\u2019s totally up to you when and how you share your pregnancy, and with who. If you\u2019re wanting to wait to share your pregnancy, or don\u2019t want to discuss it publicly until after you have the baby, that is completely fine. You don\u2019t owe anyone an explanation, and what\u2019s most important is your emotional health and that your boundaries are being respected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
