The year 2020 has been different from the past year in a whole lot of ways, but even a pandemic can’t take away the joys of being parents. This year, some of the world’s most loved celebrities have grown their families by one, or are just on the edge of it. A lot of people announced lockdown pregnancies, which had led to the coining of a new term – Coronials. Coronial is the term that is being assigned to the generation who will be conceived during the coronavirus quarantine period.

This year, our Instagram feeds were overflowing with baby announcements and now when the year is about to end, it is a good time to show you a strong dose of cuteness. From Anushka Sharma, Kareena Kapoor Khan to Anita Hassanandani, here’s a list of couples who announced their pregnancy in unique ways:
