Are these VERY creative pregnancy reveals cute or cringey?

Didn’t expect that! Are these VERY creative pregnancy reveals cute or cringey?

Announcing that you are expecting a baby is typically joyful news that should be welcomed. Still, some have been mocked on social media for the chilling ways they share the revelation.

In an entertaining gallery of pizza bottlephotos of mostly American couples announcing their future children have been widely embarrassed.

One shows a couple in a mock arrest setup, with the caption “Not locked up but beaten up.”

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

Having a bun in the oven is an old joke that no one ever gets tired of – especially when it comes to barbecue dishes

A third showed a toddler dressed in a Gremlin suit bathing with a warning that he multiplies when wet.

While a fourth involved a sign referencing the Covid pandemic, which read, “Condoms? He wasn’t even wearing a mask.’

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