Sharing news about a pregnancy can feel both thrilling and challenging. Finding the right words to express this life-changing event depends on who you’re telling and your relationship with them. The way you tell your partner might differ completely from how you inform your workplace supervisor.
These notification letters serve as helpful starting points for your own announcements. Take what works for your situation, change what doesn’t, and add your personal touch to make these messages authentically yours. Ready to see how various approaches might work for different relationships and circumstances?
Letters of Notification of Pregnancy
Here are fifteen thoughtfully crafted pregnancy notification letters to help you share your special news.
1. Formal Letter to Employer
Dear Mr. Reynolds,
I am writing to formally notify you of my pregnancy, as per company policy section 5.3 regarding maternity benefits and accommodations. Based on my healthcare provider’s assessment, my estimated due date is March 15, 2025.
I want to assure you that I remain fully committed to my responsibilities as Senior Marketing Coordinator and have already begun creating a transition plan to ensure all projects continue smoothly during my absence. My doctor currently confirms that I can work without restrictions until approximately two weeks before my due date, though this may change as my pregnancy progresses.
My preliminary plan includes completing the Anderson campaign launch by January, training Sarah Johnson on the monthly reporting procedures, and creating detailed documentation for the spring marketing initiatives. I would appreciate scheduling a meeting at your convenience to discuss my maternity leave plans, potential work arrangements during my third trimester, and strategies for managing my responsibilities during my absence.
While I anticipate taking the full 12 weeks of leave allowed under FMLA, I am open to discussing flexible arrangements such as a gradual return or limited remote work options toward the end of my leave period if this would benefit the department.
Please let me know what additional documentation you need from my healthcare provider for human resources. I understand our company requires medical certification by the end of my second trimester, which I will provide promptly after my next appointment on October 10th.
Thank you for your support during this exciting time. I look forward to working with you to ensure a smooth transition both before and after my maternity leave.
Sincerely,
Amanda Porter
Senior Marketing Coordinator

2. Heartfelt Letter to Partner
My dearest Sam,
By the time you find this letter on the breakfast table, I’ll have already left for my doctor’s appointment. Yes, the one I’ve been mysteriously quiet about. There’s something wonderful I’ve been waiting to share until I was absolutely certain.
We’re going to have a baby! Those little symptoms I’ve been brushing off as stress or fatigue? They’ve added up to the most beautiful equation. The doctor confirmed it yesterday—I’m eight weeks along, with a due date of February 12th. Our little one is currently the size of a raspberry, with a heartbeat already drumming away.
Finding out without you beside me wasn’t how I planned this moment, but I wanted confirmation before getting your hopes up. Now I can say with happy tears that your dream of becoming a parent is coming true. The little baby socks you pointed out at the store last month? Soon we’ll have tiny feet to fill them.
I know this news changes everything—our plans for next summer’s trip, that home office renovation, perhaps even where we live. But seeing your face light up whenever your sister brings her kids over tells me everything about what kind of parent you’ll be.
The next few months will bring doctor visits, decisions about the spare room, and probably some strange midnight food requests. My emotions might swirl like autumn leaves, sometimes giddy with joy, other times anxious about the changes ahead. But knowing you’ll weather this journey with me makes every worry smaller.
This weekend, shall we celebrate our little miracle? Perhaps a quiet dinner where we can talk about the road ahead. There’s so much to consider, so many choices to make together, but we have time.
I love you more than words can express, and now that love multiplies as our family grows.
All my heart,
Jordan
P.S. Look in the kitchen drawer beneath the coffee maker—I’ve hidden a pair of tiny booties I couldn’t resist buying.
3. Professional Letter to Clients
Dear Valued Clients of Thompson Design Associates,
This letter serves as notification of an upcoming change to my availability starting January 2025. I am pleased to share that my husband and I are expecting our first child, due to arrive in late February.
Your projects and satisfaction remain top priorities for both myself and Thompson Design Associates. To ensure continuous quality service during my upcoming maternity leave, I have developed a comprehensive transition plan in collaboration with our management team.
Beginning December 20th, 2024, my colleague David Chen will become your primary contact for all ongoing projects. David has fifteen years of experience in commercial design and has been thoroughly briefed on all aspects of your accounts. We will schedule introduction meetings in November to facilitate this transition and address any questions you might have about your projects.
My planned leave extends from January 15th through April 15th, 2025. During this period, all contractual obligations will continue without interruption, and our firm has allocated additional resources to maintain our promised timelines. The leadership team has reviewed all project schedules to confirm that key milestones fall outside this window or have appropriate coverage.
For projects with critical phases during my absence, I have prepared detailed briefs and will conduct handover sessions with both you and the covering designer. This preparation ensures that design intent, budget constraints, and your specific preferences remain consistently applied throughout the project lifecycle.
Should you wish to discuss this transition further, please contact me before December 15th to arrange a meeting. Upon my return in April, I look forward to resuming our working relationship with the same dedication and creativity you have come to expect.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Thompson Design Associates.
Best regards,
Elizabeth Thompson

4. Excited Letter to Parents
Dearest Mom and Dad,
Your lives are about to change forever—you’re going to be grandparents! Michael and I found out three weeks ago, but we wanted to wait until passing the first trimester milestone before sharing our wonderful news. According to my doctor, we’ll be welcoming your grandchild around May 24th next year.
Yesterday’s ultrasound was magical—seeing that tiny heart flickering on the screen made everything suddenly real. The baby was moving around so much that the technician laughed and said we might have a future soccer player on our hands. Michael swears the baby has your nose, Dad, though honestly at this stage our little one looks more like a cuddly alien than anyone in particular!
The first trimester has been an adventure of unexpected naps, strange food aversions (sadly, coffee now makes me queasy), and emotions that swing from tearful to giggly within minutes. Michael has been wonderfully patient, especially during the two weeks when all I could stomach was plain mashed potatoes and apple juice.
We’re not finding out whether we’re having a boy or girl—we want that magical moment of surprise. But what we do know is how much we want you both involved in this journey. Your wisdom, support, and babysitting offers will be treasured beyond measure! Mom, I already find myself wondering about all those family recipes and lullabies you sang to us. And Dad, I have a feeling your woodworking skills might soon be directed toward crib mobiles and toy boxes.
This Christmas will be our last as just the four of us before becoming five next year. What a wonderful thought! We’re planning to visit for Thanksgiving as usual, so perhaps we can start some grandparent planning then? Michael is already worried you’ll convert his old bedroom into a nursery before we even arrive!
Call us when you’ve recovered from the shock of this news—we want to hear your reactions and share more details about your future grandchild.
With all our love and excitement,
Sarah and Michael
P.S. The ultrasound photo is attached. The arrow points to the baby, though it mainly looks like a lovely little kidney bean right now!
5. Letter to Healthcare Provider Requesting Pregnancy Confirmation
Dr. Amelia Richardson
Lakeside Women’s Health Center
555 Medical Plaza Drive
Lakeside, CA 90210
Dear Dr. Richardson,
I am writing to request written confirmation of my pregnancy for submission to my employer’s human resources department. As discussed during my appointment on September 5th, 2024, I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of April 10th, 2025.
My employer requires official documentation from a healthcare provider before processing my application for maternity benefits and accommodations. Specifically, they need verification of my pregnancy, the approximate due date, and any current medical restrictions or accommodations that may affect my work duties as a dental hygienist.
At present, you advised avoiding extended standing periods and limiting exposure to certain dental cleaning chemicals. Having this documented would help me work with my practice manager to adjust my schedule and responsibilities appropriately.
Additionally, could you please include information about recommended follow-up appointment frequency? My workplace allows paid time off for prenatal appointments with advance notice, but requires documentation of the standard schedule of care to approve these absences without using my personal leave time.
For your convenience, I have attached the employer verification form from Bright Smile Dental Associates. If you prefer to provide this information on your practice letterhead instead, that would also be acceptable according to my employer’s policy.
Please send the completed documentation to my home address below or directly to Ms. Patricia Jenkins at Bright Smile Dental Associates via the secure fax number listed on the attached form. If possible, I would appreciate receiving this documentation before my next scheduled shift on September 15th.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter and for your excellent care. Your guidance during this first pregnancy has been tremendously reassuring.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Thompson

6. Surprise Letter to Sibling
Hey Big Bro,
Remember how you always said I was terrible at keeping secrets? Well, I’ve been sitting on some massive news for two months now, and you haven’t suspected a thing! Go ahead, take a moment to appreciate my newfound talent for discretion before reading further…
You’re going to be an uncle! That’s right—your little sister is having a baby! Currently 14 weeks along with a due date of January 18th. The morning sickness was brutal for a while there, which explains all those “stomach bug” excuses when I canceled our weekly coffee meetups. Sorry about the deception, but I wanted to wait until the second trimester before telling anyone outside of Mark and my doctor.
Speaking of Mark, he’s alternating between absolute terror and ridiculous excitement. Last weekend, I caught him reading a parenting book at 3 AM while making notes in the margins. He’s already started a college fund and downloaded three different baby development apps. Classic Mark, planning everything to the last detail!
The ultrasound technician thinks it might be a girl, though it’s still a bit early to be certain. Can you believe it? Your video game partner might be a niece instead of the nephew you’ve been predicting! Either way, this kid is going to have the coolest uncle around—one who hopefully remembers that babies can’t actually play video games until they’re at least, what, three months old? (Kidding!)
Mom and Dad don’t know yet, so keep this under your hat until next week. We’re telling them at Sunday dinner with a specially ordered cake. The inside will be pink or blue based on what the next ultrasound confirms. I’m counting on your Oscar-worthy acting skills to look surprised when they cut into it!
You’re the first person outside of Mark and me to know about Baby Garcia. I wanted to tell you first because, well, you’ve always been there for all my big moments. From teaching me to ride a bike to helping me move into my first apartment, you’ve been my rock. Now I need your wisdom for this next adventure. Got any sage advice about becoming a parent? Besides “sleep now while you still can”—Mark’s coworkers have already covered that warning extensively.
Can’t wait to see you on Thursday! And yes, this means you’ll have to drink my share of beer at the concert too.
Love you tons,
Your soon-to-be-very-round sister, Lisa
P.S. Don’t think this gets you out of helping us move next month. The nursery furniture arrives in October!
7. Letter to School Administration
Principal Margaret Jenkins
Oakwood Elementary School
1234 Education Lane
Springfield, IL 62704
Dear Principal Jenkins,
I am writing to inform you of my pregnancy and to initiate discussions regarding my upcoming maternity leave. As a fifth-grade teacher who deeply values educational continuity for my students, I wanted to provide this notification well in advance to allow for comprehensive planning.
My due date is April 3rd, 2025, which falls approximately three weeks before the annual standardized testing period. Based on my healthcare provider’s recommendation and pending any unforeseen complications, my tentative plan is to begin maternity leave on March 15th, 2025, returning for the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year in August.
To minimize disruption to my students’ educational progress, I have begun developing a detailed transition plan that includes:
– Comprehensive unit plans through the end of the academic year, including differentiated materials for various learning levels
– Detailed notes on each student’s strengths, challenges, and effective teaching strategies
– Modified test preparation materials that the substitute teacher can implement following the established classroom routines
– Video lessons for key concepts scheduled during my absence, particularly for the math curriculum units on fractions and geometry
I would like to request a meeting with you and the fifth-grade team lead during the first week of October to discuss potential substitute teacher arrangements. Ideally, this would be someone with experience teaching upper elementary grades and standardized test preparation. If possible, I would value the opportunity to collaborate with this teacher before my leave begins.
Additionally, I would appreciate information regarding the school district’s policies on using sick days toward maternity leave, the process for applying for extended leave under FMLA, and any paperwork that needs to be completed for the benefits office.
Thank you for your support during this exciting time. My commitment to my students remains steadfast, and I am dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition that maintains the academic momentum we will have established throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Elena Rodriguez
Fifth Grade Teacher, Room 24
Oakwood Elementary School

8. Letter to Religious Community
Dear Pastor Williams and Church Family,
With grateful hearts overflowing with joy, Thomas and I wish to share that we are expecting our first child! After our journey of prayer and patience through several years of hoping for this blessing, we are thrilled to announce that our little one is due to join our family around June 20th, 2025.
The past few months have been a whirlwind of emotion, from the disbelief of those first positive tests to the awe of hearing our baby’s heartbeat. During Sunday services, I’ve often found myself reflecting on the Scripture reading from Psalm 139 that speaks of being “fearfully and wonderfully made.” How profound those words feel now, knowing a new life is forming day by day.
As many of you know, this path to parenthood has not been without challenges. The support of our church family through years of disappointment has meant more than words can express. Your prayers carried us through dark moments when faith wavered, and now we celebrate this answer to those faithful prayers together. A special thank you to the Women’s Prayer Circle who have lifted us up every Tuesday evening—your spiritual encouragement has been a foundation of strength.
Looking ahead, we hope to continue serving in our current ministries until late spring. Thomas will remain as youth group co-leader, though I plan to step back from the children’s choir direction in April. We would welcome recommendations for an interim director to guide the children through their spring performance.
We humbly ask for your continued prayers for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. As first-time parents, we also treasure any wisdom our church elders might share about raising a child in faith and creating a Christ-centered home.
When our baby arrives this summer, we look forward to the dedication ceremony and officially introducing the newest member of our congregation. Until then, please forgive any sudden exits during services—morning sickness has an unfortunate tendency to ignore the sermon schedule!
With gratitude and blessed anticipation,
Sarah and Thomas Bennett
Philippians 4:6-7
9. Letter to Long-Distance Friend
My dearest Eliza,
How strange it feels writing this letter when we usually share everything through our marathon phone calls! But some news deserves more than a hasty text or call squeezed between your hospital shifts. So here I am, pen in hand, ready to share something wonderful.
You’re going to be an honorary auntie! Yes, after years of “maybe someday” conversations with Daniel, someday has arrived—I’m pregnant! Twelve weeks along with a due date of October 7th. The ultrasound looks exactly like you’d expect—a blurry blob that somehow makes my heart explode with love. Medical professionals like you probably see these images all the time, but to me, that grainy picture represents everything.
The timing wasn’t exactly planned. Remember my promotion in February? Well, achieving work-life balance has taken on an entirely new meaning! My boss was surprisingly supportive when I told her yesterday, though I detected a flash of panic about the Williams project I’m heading. Classic Karen—congratulations followed immediately by questions about my project management spreadsheets.
Being pregnant during a Boston summer proves challenging—who knew swollen ankles could actually throb? Walking up the three flights to our apartment has become my daily Olympic event. Daniel has been researching first-floor apartments with nurseries, which sends me into equal parts panic and appreciation.
My mom flies in next week for an extended visit. She’s already sent four boxes of baby clothes that belonged to me, most in questionable 90s patterns that should have remained safely in that decade. Her excitement makes me miss you terribly—you’d roll your eyes at exactly the right moments during her baby-proofing lectures.
The distance between Boston and Seattle feels particularly vast right now. Five years of friendship across opposite coasts has never been easy, but missing you during this chapter hurts differently. Your medical expertise would be so reassuring through the weird symptoms that pregnancy websites never adequately explain.
Any chance the hospital might approve your vacation request for October? Having you here, even for a few days around the due date, would mean everything. Plus, you know Daniel will be a nervous wreck—he needs your calming doctor presence almost as much as I do!
Write soon and tell me everything about that neurosurgeon you mentioned in your last email. Pregnancy insomnia guarantees I’ll have plenty of time to read a very long, detailed response!
Missing you tremendously,
Rebecca
P.S. I’ve enclosed a copy of the ultrasound. The arrow points to where the baby supposedly is, though honestly, it could also be pointing to my kidney.
10. Letter to Landlord
Ms. Eleanor Simmons
Parkview Property Management
789 Rental Avenue
Chicago, IL 60601
Dear Ms. Simmons,
I am writing to inform you that my husband David and I are expecting our first child, with an anticipated arrival date of July 15th, 2025. While this is joyful news for our family, it necessitates some discussion regarding our current rental agreement for Apartment 3B at 456 Lakeside Drive.
Our one-bedroom apartment has served us well for the past three years, but with our family expanding, we need to consider more suitable living arrangements. According to our current lease agreement, which expires on September 30th, 2025, we understand that modification requires mutual consent.
We would like to respectfully request one of the following options:
First, if available, we would be interested in transferring our lease to one of the two-bedroom units within the Parkview complex. We have always appreciated the building’s maintenance standards, security features, and friendly community atmosphere. The Robertsons in 5D mentioned they might be relocating for work this spring, which could potentially create an opening.
Alternatively, if no two-bedroom units become available by May 2025, we would request an early lease termination without penalty. This would allow us to secure appropriate housing before the baby arrives. We would provide at least 60 days’ notice before vacating and would ensure the apartment is left in excellent condition, eligible for the full security deposit refund.
We have been conscientious tenants throughout our residency, always paying rent promptly and maintaining the property with care. Our hope is that our positive rental history with Parkview will be considered when reviewing this request.
Please let us know which options might be feasible or if you would like to discuss this matter further. We can be reached at the contact information below or during your regular office hours.
Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Jennifer and David Martinez
456 Lakeside Drive, Apt 3B

11. Letter to Extended Family Announcing Rainbow Baby
Dear Family,
Some news feels too precious, too fragile to share casually over the phone. After our heartbreaking loss last year, Robert and I have approached each day of this pregnancy with cautious hope, holding our breath through each milestone. Today, at 16 weeks, with the blessing of our doctor, we finally feel ready to share that we are expecting again, with a due date of November 12th.
This pregnancy follows a different path than our last. Each ultrasound appointment brings both anxiety and relief. Each tiny flutter of movement becomes a sacred moment of reassurance. Our medical team has been extraordinarily attentive, with more frequent monitoring and testing to ease our worried minds.
Many of you have asked over these past months how you might support us through our grief. Your patience as we withdrew to heal privately did not go unnoticed. Now, as we navigate this complex journey of grief intertwined with hope, we ask for your continued understanding. Some days will find us celebrating this new life with unbridled joy. Other days, memories of what might have been will cast shadows over our happiness.
For those wondering about practical matters: we have postponed the baby shower until after 30 weeks. We’ve also decided to wait until birth to learn whether this little one is a boy or girl, focusing instead on the miracle of each developing organ and limb. The nursery remains partially decorated from before—we find comfort in believing that our first baby somehow knows about and watches over this sibling.
Though pregnancy after loss brings its unique challenges, we have found strength in connecting with others who understand this delicate balance between remembering and moving forward. The term “rainbow baby” beautifully captures this experience—the promise that appears after the storm has passed, not erasing the storm but coexisting with its memory.
We welcome your shared excitement while also appreciating sensitivity around difficult dates, particularly May 15th, which would have been our first child’s birthday. Simple acknowledgments mean more than elaborate gestures. Sometimes just saying both babies’ names—honoring the one we lost while celebrating the one on the way—is the greatest gift you can offer.
With grateful hearts and cautious joy,
Katherine and Robert Chen
P.S. For family gatherings this summer, please understand if our attendance sometimes depends on how Katherine feels that day. Pregnancy symptoms combined with emotional waves can make social situations unpredictable.
12. Letter to Older Children About New Sibling
To our amazing Emma and Jackson,
You might have noticed Mom has been extra tired lately, taking more naps on weekends and not joining our usual bike rides around the neighborhood. Dad has been cooking more dinners too, even though we all know his spaghetti sauce isn’t nearly as good as Mom’s.
There’s a special reason for these changes, and we wanted to share this big family news with you first, before telling anyone else. Our family is growing! Mom is pregnant, which means you two are going to become big sister and big brother to a new baby around Valentine’s Day next year.
Right now, the baby is very tiny—about the size of a lemon—but growing bigger every day inside Mom’s belly. That’s why Mom sometimes feels sick in the mornings or needs extra rest. Her body is working really hard to help your new sibling grow healthy and strong. The doctor has taken pictures of the baby using a special machine called an ultrasound. We’ve put one of these pictures on the refrigerator so you can see your baby brother or sister. It’s still too early to know whether you’ll have a brother or sister, but we’ll find out in about two months if you’d like to know.
We understand this news might bring up different feelings for both of you. Emma, you’ve mentioned wanting a sister several times, and Jackson, you might have questions about what happens to your role as the youngest in our family. All your feelings—whether excitement, worry, curiosity, or even feeling unsure—are completely okay. We want to hear about them all.
Over the next few months, lots of things will happen to get ready for the new baby. We’ll need to prepare a special sleeping place, probably in the small room next to ours. You might notice Mom’s belly getting much bigger as the baby grows. And yes, there might be some changes to our family routines once the baby arrives. Babies need lots of attention, especially at first, but that doesn’t mean our love for you changes one bit. Actually, our hearts just grow bigger to include the new baby while loving you two just as much as always.
We’d love to include you in getting ready for your new sibling. Perhaps you could help choose colors for the baby’s room or pick out some first books to read together? Jackson, your old baby blanket is still in perfect condition if you’d like to pass it down. Emma, your organizational skills would be so helpful in arranging the baby supplies.
What questions do you have? Let’s talk about them during our special family dinner this Friday. Dad is ordering pizza from your favorite place, and we can brainstorm name ideas together if you’d like.
We love you both beyond measure and can’t wait to see you become the wonderful big siblings we know you’ll be.
All our love,
Mom and Dad
13. Letter to Remote Work Supervisor
Dear Mrs. Peterson,
I am writing to inform you of my pregnancy and to begin a dialogue about my work arrangements during this exciting but challenging time. My doctor has confirmed that I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of March 27th, 2025.
As a remote software developer for GlobalTech Solutions for the past four years, I have consistently met or exceeded performance metrics while maintaining the flexibility that remote work offers. This arrangement has proven beneficial for both my productivity and work-life balance, qualities I hope to maintain throughout my pregnancy and eventually as a working parent.
My healthcare provider anticipates that I can continue working throughout most of my pregnancy without significant medical restrictions. However, I wanted to proactively address potential adjustments that might become necessary in the coming months:
First, I anticipate needing time off for regular prenatal appointments, typically scheduled on Thursday mornings. These appointments should not significantly impact my availability for our weekly team meetings or project deadlines, as I can adjust my work hours accordingly.
Second, during the third trimester, I may need to take more frequent short breaks throughout the workday to manage physical discomfort. This would not reduce my total working hours but might affect my continuous availability during certain periods.
Regarding maternity leave, I plan to utilize the 16 weeks provided by company policy, tentatively beginning one week before my due date. During this period, I propose that my ongoing projects be temporarily redistributed as follows:
– The Atlas Project: Kevin Chen has collaborated with me extensively and could assume primary oversight during my absence.
– Client maintenance requests: These could be distributed among the support team with escalation protocols clearly documented.
– The upcoming Morgan database migration: I will complete the design phase before my leave and prepare detailed implementation documentation for whoever assumes this responsibility.
To ensure a smooth transition, I plan to document all current projects thoroughly and create video walkthroughs of complex systems that might require maintenance during my absence. Additionally, I would like to schedule knowledge-transfer sessions with designated team members in February.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these arrangements further during our next one-on-one meeting. Should modifications become necessary as my pregnancy progresses, I will communicate proactively with both you and affected team members.
Thank you for your support during this significant life transition.
Sincerely,
Catherine Zhang

14. Letter to Family Planning Clinic
Harmony Family Planning Center
2345 Healthcare Avenue
Austin, TX 78701
Attn: Patient Services
To the Harmony Family Planning Center Staff,
I am writing to inform you of my recent positive pregnancy test and to request guidance on next steps regarding my ongoing participation in your fertility counseling program.
My husband James and I have been clients at your center for approximately 14 months, working with Dr. Liu and Counselor Martinez on addressing secondary infertility. After two rounds of monitored ovulation cycles and prescribed progesterone supplements, I received a positive home pregnancy test result on September 5th, confirmed with a second test on September 7th.
Based on the tracking methods taught in your program, I estimate that I am approximately 5 weeks pregnant with a tentative due date of May 15th, 2025. While we are cautiously optimistic given our previous miscarriage last year, we recognize the need for proper medical confirmation and care planning.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the following:
First, I would like to schedule a confirmation appointment with Dr. Liu to verify the pregnancy through blood work and possibly an early ultrasound if appropriate at this stage. As you have my complete medical history, including details of my previous pregnancy complications, your clinic seems the most suitable place for this initial assessment.
Second, I need guidance regarding the continuation or discontinuation of the supplements prescribed through your program. Currently, I am taking prenatal vitamins, vitamin D supplements, and the progesterone supplements prescribed by Dr. Liu. Should I continue these at present dosages until seen by a provider?
Third, I would value recommendations for obstetric care providers who specialize in pregnancies after infertility treatments. If Harmony provides continued care for previously infertile patients now expecting, we would prefer to maintain our relationship with your compassionate team.
Lastly, regarding our scheduled fertility counseling session with Counselor Martinez next Tuesday, should this appointment be converted to a pregnancy support session, or would you recommend canceling until medical confirmation is obtained?
James and I are profoundly grateful for your center’s support throughout our fertility journey. The educational resources, emotional support, and medical guidance have been invaluable, regardless of whether this pregnancy proceeds successfully.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience via email or my cell phone listed below. Thank you for your continued care during this tentatively hopeful time.
With appreciation,
Michelle Watson

15. Letter to Surrogate Parents
Dear Hannah and Phillip,
This letter brings the wonderful news we’ve all been hoping and praying for—I’m pregnant with your baby! The fertility clinic confirmed with blood tests yesterday that our embryo transfer was successful. According to Dr. Matthews, my hCG levels are strong and developing exactly as expected for a healthy pregnancy at this stage.
The moment the nurse called with the results, I wished you both could have been there to share that initial burst of joy. Though we agreed to wait for confirmation before sharing news, knowing this precious life has taken hold filled me with such purpose. Your baby is currently the size of a poppy seed, with an estimated due date of April 18th.
As outlined in our agreement, I’ve already scheduled the first ultrasound for next Thursday at 10:00 AM. The clinic has noted your request to attend virtually if you can’t be there in person. They’ll send connection details three days before the appointment. This first scan should confirm placement and possibly detect a heartbeat if timing allows.
Physically, I’m experiencing mild symptoms—some breast tenderness and occasional waves of fatigue in the afternoons. Nothing concerning, just the beautiful signs that your little one is making themselves comfortable. The morning sickness your sister mentioned during our coffee chat hasn’t appeared yet, though Dr. Matthews suggested it might develop over the next few weeks.
I’ve implemented all the dietary and activity modifications we discussed. The prenatal vitamins sometimes cause slight nausea, but taking them with dinner rather than breakfast has helped considerably. My exercise routine has been adjusted to the pregnancy-safe version approved by both our doctors, focusing primarily on walking and prenatal yoga.
Emotionally, this journey feels profoundly meaningful. Watching your faces during the transfer procedure—the mixture of hope, anxiety, and love—reinforced my commitment to this path. Carrying this child for you both feels right in ways difficult to articulate. The trust you’ve placed in me remains my daily motivation to make healthy choices and maintain a positive mindset.
As we move forward, please never hesitate to ask questions or express concerns. While I know boundaries are important in our unique relationship, I want you to feel connected to this pregnancy every step of the way. Your baby is already so loved, by all three of us.
With joy and anticipation,
Melissa
