If there’s one thing our generation has truly mastered, it’s turning every life event into a social media spectacle. From the over-the-top engagement photo shoots to meticulously staged baby gender reveals (with a dash of special effects for good measure).

It seems like no milestone is complete without a flood of professional photos and some deeply questionable puns. But when it comes to pregnancy announcements, things can get… well, let’s just say extra in the most cringe-worthy way.

Enter the hilariously savage group “That’s It, I’m Pregnancy Announcement Shaming.” If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at yet another couple announcing their bundle of joy with a tired cliché, this is the place for you. 

This group exists to call out the most over-the-top, cheesy, and downright awkward ways people have decided to tell the world they’re expecting. Think: gender reveals with fishing rods, "bun in the oven" photoshoots, and captions like "We’re brewing up something special!" (Cue facepalm).

So grab your popcorn and get ready to laugh (and cringe). Whether you’re a parent or just someone who enjoys good content, this rundown is guaranteed to deliver some laughs—and maybe make you think twice before sharing your next life update!

Scroll down to feast your eyes...

1. Because nothing says ‘we’re expecting’ like a pandemic survival kit

2. Gremlins? Really? As if parenthood needed another horror movie reference…

3. Projecting an ultrasound into the night sky? Cringe level: astronomical.

4. Just in case, you know, the original wears out. Sigh.

5. Number six and still no better ideas, huh?

6. A Corona baby announcement during a pandemic…because why not mix bad puns with global health crises?

7. Putting your unborn baby in the back of a truck. Because safety first, right?

8. Turning a pregnancy announcement into a backyard BBQ is the pinnacle of class.

9. I’m sorry guys, but we’ve officially reached peak cringe.

10. There’s no better way to welcome a new baby than by making your toddler cry.

11. You can almost hear the sirens of awkwardness.

12. Seeing this makes me very uncomfortable

13. If there’s one thing that screams pregnancy, it’s being compared to livestock. Not abnormal at all.

14. Thanks, Disney, for being part of this… questionable moment.

15. Guess it’s true what they say: some things are better left unsaid.

16. We’re all washing our hands off this one.

17. Classy. Real classy

18. Who doesn’t love an anatomically accurate, cringe-worthy gender reveal pun?

19. Yep, that’s exactly how we wanted to visualize your parenting journey… Thanks for oversharing

20. Absolutely no one needed to know that.

21. This is a very disturbing way to announce a pregnancy

While baby announcements are supposed to be fun and memorable, some of these takes really make you wonder if a simple "We're expecting!" would have been better. 

Sure, we all love creativity, but there's a fine line between cute and cringe. So, before you reach for the hot dogs or "punny" signs, maybe just stick with classic and timeless. Less is often more!
