Celebrities do everything better. Just kidding. But they typically do do everything bigger. Pregnancy announcements are no exception. In the past few years, some of our favorite stars have come up with some creative ideas for letting their fans know they're expecting -- and save for unbuttoning your sparkly blazer, revealing your growing baby bump to a crowd of screaming fans, most of these are easy to copy when you're ready to make your own special announcement.

Which of these is your favorite? How did you announce your pregnancy?

Beyonce's Shocking Baby Bump Reveal

Of course, Rowland's pregnancy was incredibly sweet, but it certainly didn't supersede Beyonce's, which, at the risk of sounding ridiculous, may have been the most epic celeb pregnancy announcement of all time.

After performing "Love on Top" at the 2011 MTV VMAs, Bey opened up her sparkly jacket, revealing her baby bump to the world, giving her belly a loving rub. The camera immediately cut to Jay Z, who couldn't have looked more ecstatic. Truly an incredibly sweet moment.
