Are these VERY creative pregnancy reveals cute or cringey?

Wasn’t expecting that! Are these VERY creative pregnancy reveals cute or cringey?

Announcing you are expecting a baby is typically joyful news that should be happily received. Yet some have been mocked on social media for the cringeworthy ways they share the revelation.

In an entertaining gallery from pizzabottle, photos of mostly US couples announcing their future children have been widely shamed.

One shows a couple in a fake arrest set-up, with the caption ‘Not locked up but knocked up’.

Another showed a toddler crying in a crib with an eviction notice hanging over it – alluding to a baby sibling.

Having a bun in the oven is an old gag that no one ever tires of – particularly when it comes with barbeque food 

A third one showed a toddler dressed in a Gremlin’s suit in the bath with a warning that it multiples when wet. 

While a forth involved a sign referencing the Covid pandemic, which read, ‘Condoms? He didn’t even wear a mask.’

Here Femail brings you ways not to tell people you are expecting.
