How to tell your parents you are pregnant?

I want to tell my parents I'm pregnant. It's very early days I'm only 4 weeks at the minute but plan to tell them at 5 so I can have their support. We are also thinking of telling the in-law parents next week too and then siblings after 12 weeks can.

But because it will only be 5 weeks we won't have had a scan yet. Any ideas how to tell parents?

For clarity they will be excited just won't have a chance to tell them for the first time ever again

We got a little chalkboard sign that said 'we are going to be grandparents in _ weeks' and filled in how many weeks we're left and gave it to them.

I get lots of vídeos on Instagram with grandparents opening a box and getting out a baby grow saying things like ‘coming soon’ or stuff like that

i don’t know if that’s the kind of thing you have in mind

Sounds ludicrous. People seriously have too much time on their hands

Why? What if baby was early?

I said "you know how you're the best parents in the world?" (This made them think I was going to ask something cheeky) then continued "how do you fancy being the best grandparents?"

I got hugs 😊

We had my parents round for dinner and put a bandana on the dog saying "promoted to big brother" so when he ran up to them as they came in the house they read it🥲

Aww, love this.
I would have assumed you were getting another dog though and asked what breed you were looking for, and if you were getting it neutered 😂

Look what I found on Etsy: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/769688884/personalised-family-pregnancy?ref=share_v4_lx

I got cards like this from etsy for my family members. They loved it and could keep the cards for sentiment
