It's huge news today – Mummy Pig is pregnant and a new ‘Peppa Pig’ episode airing next month will show her making a baby announcement to Peppa and George.
“Pre-schoolers welcoming a new sibling will strongly relate to these new stories and can learn how to handle the new moments … and even only children will delight in watching the ups and downs of having a new baby in the Peppa house.” She adds: “It allows parents and children to learn with Peppa as she navigates new territory.”.
In the 2011 Peppa Pig episode “Mummy Rabbit’s Bump”, the mother of Peppa’s friend Rebecca Rabbit is rushed to hospital to have twins – and Daddy Rabbit misses the birth because he is parking the car.
In an episode that will premiere – appropriately – on Mother’s Day on 30 March, Mummy and Daddy Pig will break the news to their children that a new baby is on the way, with the show’s forthcoming 11th season exploring, over time, the pregnancy and birth.
In the new episode, titled “The Big Announcement”, siblings Peppa and George are wearing saucepans and colanders on their heads when Daddy and Mummy Pig walk into the sitting room.
