One of the most exciting things to do is the very first announcement. Second would probably be a gender reveal.

Whichever way you decide to tell everyone about your pregnancy, it’s always best to try and keep it a secret until you’re about 3 months pregnant. There’s obviously no harm in telling a handful of really close relatives or friends, but as a precaution, 3 months is usually a good and standard waiting period.
