The butterflies in your tummy are real now there’s a teeny tiny person growing inside you. For just this moment, it’s your little secret – so hard to keep, when you want to shout it from the rooftops. And the fun doesn’t stop with telling your friends and family there’s a bun in the oven – pregnancy is full of special milestones.
From the initial pregnancy reveal to sharing if you’re having a boy or a girl and the final ‘bub’s here’ announcement, these are the milestone pregnancy moments we love sharing. There are so many ways to let the world know you’re having a baby – from using that first grainy ultrasound image to getting the pets or your other kids involved. And if you’re finding out the gender, there’s a whole other reveal to plan. And finally, the incredible moment you tell your loved ones there’s a new kid in town.
Here are the pregnancy milestones to look forward to over the next few months.

From the first teeny bump to the final, bursting-at-the-seams belly, snapping a photo of your growing baby every week is a gorgeous rite of passage for pregnant mummas.
First kick
When those little flutters finally turn into definite movements everything starts to get really real! While it might be a while before anyone else can feel the kicks, throughout the day you’ll get little reminders that there’s a little life growing inside of you.
Gender Reveal
Whether finding out early via NIPT or waiting until the 20 week mark, it’s a surreal moment in time to discover you’re having a son or daughter. And sharing that moment with family and friends? It’s magical.
