Announcing a pregnancy by MM

Does it sound ok? Or a bad taste MM?
It's not my first child, actually my children are all young. This was a real surprise, bec I'm nursing, I have zero cervical mucus. But we are happy.
Anyhow, would u make a MM in a way that it would announce a baby?

imo it would be bad taste.

are you meaning just for your parents/ils? or for "the world"?

Bad taste IMHO. It's kinda making a big deal out of something that should be private... and whatever you do don't mention the cervical mucus (or lack thereof!)...

You could do sperm meets egg cupcakes Wink

google is your friend.

I agree it's a little tacky- don't mix the simchas together.

Poor taste. I think you can get away with it for family members only.

Big fat no! I think its tacky and inappropriate and not personal.

why don't you just get dressed as a sonogram picture?

seriously though, I think it's tacky. but if you do decide to do it, give out pickles and ice cream.

Tacky. But if you're gonna do it, do the sperm meets egg one. (Note that everyone is going to avoid you next Purim)

Or you could just hand out pics of the ultrasound.

I get that you are excited to be pregnant, I would also be excited if I was, but this isn't the best way to express it.

For real?

If you're going to do it, use the second cupcake from greenfire's post. Very Happy

As someone with serious fertility issues I can tell you that if anyone ever gave one like that to us I would never forgive them. If you want give to your parents and in laws, but you have no idea what anyone else is going through.

You can make cinnamon buns or some form of bun and dress up like bakers.

For close family, you can explain that you have a bun in the oven.

For everyone else, let them enjoy their cinnamon buns and tell them on a quieter occasion
