The images were accompanied by a message directing fans to the page of the journalist, Jessica Yellin, where Schumer said she was "about to announce some exciting news" and that Yellin had "agreed to post a lil noise today" on her behalf.

Schumer`s friend Yellin, of the site NewsNotNoise.org, said in a video on her own Instagram page: "I wanted to share some news from our community, maybe it`s noise but it`s happy noise. So I`m not in the business of making voting recommendations, but these are the recommendations of Amy Schumer. Now read all the way to the bottom, you`ll see there`s some news down there. Congratulations, Amy."

She then shared a screenshot of a list of voting recommendations for the upcoming US midterm elections. At the bottom of the list was a note from Schumer saying "I`m pregnant". 

Schumer later shared a screenshot of Yellin`s Instagram post on her Twitter feed.
