What to Say When Someone is Expecting a New Baby

Welcoming a new baby to your family is a special and exciting time for new parents. If someone you love, or perhaps a workmate, is expecting, it is the perfect time to share in their happiness and send your support. But knowing what to say can be hard, knowing you want to be heartfelt, positive and encouraging. We've popped together some thoughtful suggestions on what to say to someone who is expecting a new baby.

1. Express Your Genuine Excitement
A simple expression of happiness can go a long way, so we love starting off with letting them know how happy you are for them.

- "I’m so excited for you! Congratulations on the wonderful news!"
- "What amazing news! I’m thrilled for you and can’t wait to meet your little one."

2. Offer Your Support
Show that you are there for them during this significant life change.

- "If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you."
- "I’m so happy for you! If you ever need a hand, whether it’s with errands or just someone to talk to, I’m here."

3. Compliment Their Parenting Potential
Give them a little dose of positivity by letting them know your belief in them as new parents.

- "You’re going to be such wonderful parents. That baby is so lucky to have you."
- "I know you’re going to raise a beautiful and happy child."

4. Share in the Anticipation
- "I can’t wait to see all the cute baby pictures! Your little one is going to be adorable."
- "It’s going to be so much fun watching your family grow. I’m looking forward to all the baby cuddles!"

5. Offer Practical Help
We know first hand that giving your practical support can mean the world to new parents.

- "I’d love to help you get ready. Do you need any help with setting up the nursery or buying baby essentials?"
