Announce your pregnancy and keep every face forever.

One link. One countdown. Mom’s scream, dad’s tears, your brother’s "wait, what?".

Telling your family you’re pregnant is one of the few moments in life everyone will rewatch. ReactReplay is built for it: a private reveal room, a synced countdown, and a separate camera recording for every person you invite. You decide what they see — an ultrasound, a positive test, a custom headline — and the platform handles the rest.

Why this beats a text

The moment is the point.

Group texts and Zoom calls don’t capture this moment. Text takes the surprise away. A Zoom call mixes everyone into one tile and the camera angles are usually terrible. ReactReplay gives each loved one their own clip — usable as a standalone share, a baby-book entry, or a 9:16 reel.

How it works for a pregnancy announcement

Three minutes from setup to live room.

Pick "Pregnancy announcement" in the wizard. Upload the ultrasound or type a headline ("WE’RE EXPECTING"). Generate per-recipient links so each one is named (Mom, Dad, Hye-jin). At your scheduled time, tap "Start room". Everyone joins, the countdown plays, and reaction clips land in your library minutes later.

  1. 1. Choose your reveal. Custom headline, accent color, scheduled or instant.
  2. 2. Generate per-recipient links. Paste names — each guest gets a personal URL.
  3. 3. Press start. The countdown plays in every browser; cameras roll; clips land in your library.
Common questions

Pregnancy announcement FAQs.

How do I announce a pregnancy to family on video?
Create a free ReactReplay account, pick "Pregnancy announcement", upload your ultrasound or write a headline, send the link to your family, and hit start. Each guest’s browser records their own reaction the moment the result appears. You watch back from your library.
Can grandparents do this if they’re not tech-savvy?
Yes. Each guest gets a per-recipient link with their name already filled in — they just tap "Allow camera" once and wait. Nothing to install, no account, no settings. The whole flow is two taps.
When should I send the invite link?
About 24–48 hours before. The link only "wakes up" once you flip the reveal to scheduled mode and pay (so it can’t leak the surprise early). Guests can bookmark it, then come back at the time you set.
Can I keep the announcement private from the public?
Yes. Reveals are unlisted by default — only people with the link can join, and the per-recipient links are unique. Nothing is posted publicly unless you decide to share the reaction reel after.
What if a relative can’t make it live?
Send them the recap reel after. Each individual reaction stays in your library on the Family plan and up, so you can also forward grandma’s clip on its own to anyone who missed the live moment.
