The time to share the news of pregnancy with grandparents is totally up to you. However, some people prefer to wait until the second trimester before letting the cat out of the bag.
This is because the rate of miscarriages is usually higher during the first 13 weeks. So you might prefer to blurt it out from the 14th week upward.
However, you can share it early if you have terrible morning sickness and live close to them.
A pregnancy announcement gift for grandparents would be great for a special occasion (like a holiday or birthday) if it suits the time.
How to surprise grandparents with pregnancy
A fascinating time in pregnancy is when you announce it to your grandparents. It can be as simple as giving them a card on a holiday when they least expect it.
Even when you’re not living very close to your grandparents to visit them face to face, you can still surprise them with something very fancy through the mail. You can make it more fun if it is something they cannot open until they call you.
How to announce pregnancy to grandparents who already have grandchildren
When announcing pregnancy to grandparents who are already grandparents, you may want to stick to simple things that just express your happiness.
This little gift can just carry messages like ‘we enjoyed you as a parent, now our child gets to enjoy you as their grandparents’. This is always suitable for almost every occasion.
Another terrific way of announcing pregnancy is by mentioning the gender of the child. If you feel comfortable about doing this, wait until you find out the gender and then tell them.
However, you can still go all out for the celebration even if it’s not their first grandchild, and they will still be happy to celebrate with you.
