These creative pregnancy announcement ideas are the perfect way to announce baby number two.

Pregnancy, round two! Even though you’re a pregnancy expert by now — doing it before has left you with a lot of knowledge, after all — there’s a new twist this time around: you have baby number one in tow, too.

When it comes time to announce a second pregnancy to friends and family — and maybe even the world via a social media post — it’s always a fun and exciting idea to include your first little one in your second baby pregnancy announcement. After all, whether your first is still in diapers or is already a "big kid," they're getting a promotion to big sibling

But what’s the best way to do just that? Read on for the best pregnancy announcements for baby number two, all starring your OG baby. 

Second pregnancy announcements

A dining companion

Though your baby might not truly take a spot across the table from your tot for quite a while, your older child will undoubtedly be saving them a spot.

Written in the sand


Doodle your news in the sand. We love the idea of combining it with the classic “growing by two feet” announcement in which family members stand with another set of feet or shoes meant to represent the forthcoming baby.

A pregnancy test

Immortalize the test that gave you the good news with this cute second pregnancy announcement. The mom-to-be simply added the words “hi bro” to the test, then captured it in front of the sleeping big brother.

Confetti

This photo idea doubles as both a second pregnancy announcement and a gender reveal — and it couldn’t be more fun. You don’t even need the confetti gun to recreate it — you could always just toss some in the air.

A special onesie

From only child to big sib, this second pregnancy announcement is a fun (and practical) way to share that you’re adding a new member to your family again.

An extra-sweet reveal

We all scream for ice cream — especially when it’s paired with a pregnancy announcement! This big reveal is sure to make your loved ones melt (pun intended!).

Share a recipe

This “one cup hugs, two cups kisses” ingredients list is too adorable — plus, it’s easy to replicate at home.

Studying up


Your little one has a lot of learning to do — like how to share toys and maybe even how to help with a diaper change. This is a fun way to show the world they’re ready to be the best big sibling ever!

Sonogram and big smiles

All you need for this second pregnancy announcement is a sonogram photo and your firstborn. Snap a picture of your little one while holding up the photo and you’re all set.

A (surprise!) addition to the family photo shoot

Surprise your partner and your little one with this exciting second pregnancy announcement idea — the photos are sure to be priceless.

A well-deserved promotion

A promotion for the former only child? Check. Adorable second baby pregnancy pregnancy announcement? Double check.

Preparing for new sibling playtime

For a festive way to share the good news about number two (or three, or four!), use balloons in your family photo opp to spell out the news.

A blockbuster-worthy announcement

This extra-creative second pregnancy announcement is perfect for spreading the exciting news with your loved ones. Red carpet photoshoot not necessary.

Oops!

Use one of your favorite lyrics or quotes to help share the news like this family did with Britney Spears’ classic “Oops!...I Did It Again.”

A little love for the newest little one

Show your second bundle on the way some love with this sweet announcement idea — mom, baby-to-be, and big sibling all cuddled up together.

A bedtime story

Share the news with the big sibling-to-be with a new bedtime story — and don’t forget to snap a pic to tell the rest of the world about your growing family.

A holiday wish list
