Celebrities are constantly doing things on a whole different level, so we can expect them to make a show out of their baby announcements. Who could forget the time comedian Amy Schumer made her pregnancy announcement by photoshopping her and her husband’s face on a picture of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? She teased the announcement with that photo and then hid the pregnancy announcement in a list of candidates she endorsed for the midterm elections. Like, how do we get on that level? Amy is not the only celebrity with an elaborate pregnancy announcement. In fact, many celebs take the opportunity to share their good news in a creative fashion. There are so many exciting and fun pregnancy announcements, so we at Mamas Uncut decided to make a list of the 30 best celebrity baby announcements.
Amy Schumer
Completely relatable mom and comedy queen Amy Schumer made her pregnancy announcement by photoshopping her face onto Meghan Markle’s. As we mentioned, it was more of a tease, but nevertheless, hilarious. Amy and Meghan had their sons on the same day.

Before we ever get to see a glorious, celebrity baby, we’re often treated to a baby announcement or pregnancy announcement to let fans know that a mini celeb is on the way. These announcements range from modest to baroque, and no matter who’s doing the announcement, it’s always a treat to revel in another person’s happy moment. There’s a certain nervous excitement that occurs when a pregnancy is made public. There are hopes, fears, and ultimately a shared sense of enthusiasm for the expecting parents and the joy they’re about to bring into the world. We hope you enjoyed our list of the best celebrity baby announcements.
