Celebrating the news that a couple is expecting a baby is an exciting time! You want to show your congratulations and best wishes with the perfect card. But what should you write? Here are some ideas for words of congratulations that can help express your joy and excitement for the new parents-to-be.
You’re counting down to that little bundle of joy, and all I want to say is: Have fun! You’ve got a lot of growing up to do, but let your whole body be your playground. Don’t worry about how you look, just enjoy the journey and take it one day at a time.
***
Starting this journey is not only going to be exciting, it will also prepare you for the rest of your life – both personally and professionally. As the mother of a baby, you don’t need to wait for special occasions or holidays to enjoy these moments with them. Cherish the time you have.
***
I’m thinking about you and hoping for a healthy pregnancy. May you feel better and better each day until your tummy is back to its old self. I know it’s hard to believe, but soon you will be in the home stretch! Enjoy and savor every moment of it, for this journey is unique to you.
***
Congratulations on your pregnancy! From now on, every day is going to be something new, so try not to worry too much. Remember that things almost always end up okay in the end! Treat yourself well – eat good food and spend time relaxing with those who care about you most.

A growing baby is just the beginning of changes that being pregnant brings. With new curves, each day will bring a new understanding of who you are and a new vision of your future as a mother. Enjoy this time for what it is: a precious time to reconnect with yourself and see your body in a whole new light.

Every mom-to-be knows the truth about pregnancy – it’s exhausting and surprising, exhilarating and emotional. It’s a combination of nonsense, miracles and mistakes. You’ll probably eat more pickles than you ever thought possible, drop something on yourself at least once a day and likely lose a battle or two with your bladder. How you handle that fact that every part of this process is foreign will determine how successful your pregnancy will be. Be brave, be confident and trust in yourself for the best possible outcome.
***
With all the waiting, worrying and wondering about how this stage will be, the most important thing is to enjoy the journey. The good and the bad. The moments of everyday life are just as important as your doctor’s appointments since you spend every day with your baby.
***
For bringing a new little one into this world and loving them from their first breath to their first steps – congratulations! You will capture precious moments every step of the way, but most importantly – you’ll be there to teach your baby right from wrong.
***
The journey to motherhood begins with a cycle of excitement, wonderment, anxiety and … let me guess: more excitement! May you hold tight to the things that make you happy, because there’s no telling how many of your daily habits will change as your little one grows. I wish you lots of cuddles as you travel through this new life chapter. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

You’ve just stepped into the best job in the world. From your baby’s first laugh to the first day of school, parenting is a great adventure. Enjoy all of it and don’t forget to savour those lazy days of parenthood, too. You have this.

In pregnancy as in life, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

Be sure to enjoy your new favorite indulgences during your pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a journey through the body and emotions, often accompanied by nausea, fatigue and mood swings. Expectations can seem endless at times when all you want to do is curl up in a ball under a blanket and go back to bed for the next six months.

Growing a new life begins with two words: countless hours of patience. The best part is, even if you’re not able to see results immediately, trust that your body is hard at work making your baby strong and healthy. Enjoy the process!

***
You can do anything you want to with your pregnancy. Many women feel pressure to change their lives in order to embrace motherhood, but there is nothing wrong with staying exactly where you’re at – just because one piece of cloth is too small doesn’t mean you have to borrow a larger size.
