It’s such a beautiful time of year to announce a pregnancy. Spring is here, the flowers and sun are out to stay, and you have a special little secret you’ve been keeping. Announcing your pregnancy on or around Mother’s Day is a lovely way to honor your baby-to-be—and your motherhood journey. Whether this is your first baby or one of many, there is truly something so lovely about a Mother’s Day announcement. 

Incorporate a spring theme, decorate with hearts and flowers, or dress up your bump in your favorite colors. No matter how you choose to make your announcement this Mother’s Day, it’ll be a touching moment for everyone in your orbit. Here is some inspiration for your Mother’s Day baby news.

A Mother’s Day bouquet and a shot of your growing belly are absolutely stunning ways to announce there’s a little love coming soon. If you’d rather go the no-bump route, an ultrasound photo and flowers work too.
