24 Memorable Pictures Of Celebrities And How They Announced To Everyone That They Were Pregnant
These celebrities are spicing up their pregnancy announcements.
There are many women out there trying to emulate what their favorite celebrities are doing, especially when it comes to their pregnancies. They often scrutinize their own pregnancies in comparison to those of celebrities.
However, what they fail to understand is that the celebrities you see are women who can afford personal trainers, personal chefs, and domestic workers. Furthermore, you can’t truly know how their entire pregnancy journey has been unless they choose to share it.
In the past, showing off one’s pregnant body was frowned upon in society. Celebrities would keep their pregnancies secret for fear of being labeled as overweight and jeopardizing their careers.
Looking back, it’s clear that many things have changed, as women, including celebrities, are now more at ease showing their pregnant selves. What's more, these celebrities either let everyone get a glimpse of their pregnancy bumps, or some eager photographer will snoop around and capture their moments first.
Either way, fans get to hear the news. To avoid the latter scenario, celebrities prefer to be the ones to break the news to the public, ensuring that it is a memorable announcement.
Below are some memorable instances when celebrities announced their pregnancies in a special way.
