While stars confirming their pregnancy via social media is nothing new, we loved the way these couples shared their big news
Carrie Underwood
Just a few days back, country singer Carrie Underwood declared that she and hubby Mike Fisher are expecting their first child next spring. The American Idol winner posted a picture on Instagram with her two pet dogs wearing 'I'm going to be a big sister' and 'big brother' outfits. She wrote, "In honour of 'Labour' Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn't be happier…"

You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many many more years of the best parts of life!"

Barely seven months after giving birth to her first child, daughter Maxwell, Jessica Simpson announced her second pregnancy with a pic of her daughter sitting on the beach with the words 'Big Sis' written in the sand. She wrote, "Merry Christmas from my family to yours!"
Gwen Stefani
The singer made her Instagram debut in January this year with her big baby news. The No Doubt singer posted a snap of herself wearing a gold crown with the words, "I was ready to hand over the crown.

He tweeted, "Can't think of a better way to celebrate 3 years of marriage to my beautiful @VanessaLachey than this! #family"
Fergie
Fergie and hubby Josh Duhamel declared their baby news in flashback style. The singer superimposed a toddler picture of herself and her actor husband with the message "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!" They both shared the same message via his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
