Queen of pop Beyonce Knowles announced her pregnancy the only way a star of her stature could: via a highly curated photo shoot with all the trimmings.
If you don’t have a team of hair and make-up artists on hand, you might need to get a little bit more creative with how you share the news.

Listen to podcast hosts Holly Wainwright and Andrew Daddo discuss the latest trends in pregnancy announcements here. (Post continues after audio.)
Weird, wacky and wonderful pregnancy announcements were a topic discussed this week on parenting podcast, This Glorious Mess.
The discussion kicked off with the impact of the pregnancy announcement made by Zoe Foster-Blake on other mums and dads-to-be.
“Hers was so good because it was so quick,” said co-host Andrew Daddo.
Holly Wainwright agreed, arguing Foster-Blake’s post has almost set a new standard for pregnancy announcements made by Australian women.
