Celebrities experiencing pregnancy and starting a family are two things fans always look forward to but those are also understandably precious and sensitive moments that may not always be available for public consumption.
Having a child and becoming parents are beautiful episodes in anyone's life.
For other stars and personalities, they prefer sharing all the milestones of their pregnancy and journey to parenthood via their social media pages.
Because of their online chronicles, we get to be part of their pregnancy announcement, observe the growth of their baby bump, and witness their different celebrations that may include gender reveal parties and baby showers. We get a peek at their different conditions leading to childbirth, get an idea of their prenatal practices, and share the joyful anticipation of their child's arrival.
Needless to say, we've become part of every step of their pregnancy journey that we get hooked to their updates, wishing we'd be the first to take a glimpse of their baby's angelic face.
But while other celebrities are super thrilled in sharing all these details, there are a few who want to celebrate in private.
For other stars and celebrities, they would prefer giving us a peep at only select portions of their parenthood journey. Sometimes, they even prefer keeping all the details to themselves, taking their time, and surprising their followers a few weeks or months after giving birth. Because of this, fans and followers grow more curious about their child.
Regardless of how open and generous these celebrities were, the public has always been tickled and welcoming towards their baby.
