21 Pregnancy Halloween Costumes for Growing Bellies
Marsupial Mama
Why we love it: This cute and creative costume idea is doubly as darling when you pair up with a pregnant pal!
-- Idea via Coolest Homemade Costumes
Baby Mutant Ninja Turtle
Why we love it: Already got a little one who loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? This is how to win his heart on Halloween. Pizza (the preferred food of the TMNTs) not required—but definitely encouraged.
-- Idea via Pinterest
Bubble Gum Bump
Why we love it: Put the bubble in bubble gum with this gumball machine Halloween costume, which is cute for kids, but would also show off a burgeoning baby belly.
-- Idea via 'A Casarella
No Bother Here
Why we love it: This adorable Winnie the Pooh-inspired costume is easy to assemble, and comes with a built-in idea for a partner who is about as enthusiastic about Halloween as Eeyore is about, well, anything. A polo shirt and shorts and voila: Christopher Robin!

Pitcher's Mound
Why we love it: Not only is this baseball belly a total home run in adorableness, but it's an easy win, too. This mama pulled it together last minute using things from around her house!
-- Idea via Ashley at From Dahlias to Doxies
Beach Babe
Why We Love It: You affectionately call it your beach ball, so go with it! If you're not up for baring all, pair a bikini top or tank with a long, thigh-covering sarong.

Pregnant Potato
Why we love it: A Mrs. Potato Head costume is the perfect way to cover your bump this Halloween; especially if you aren't ready to reveal your pregnancy. Baby belly not included!

I Carried a Watermelon
Why We Love It: Does pregnancy have you feeling like you're lugging around a melon? Turn that thought into reality with this delicious, is-that-what-I-think-it-is costume.
-- Submitted by Sarah S. of Amanda, Ohio
Troll-or-Treat
Why we love it: You won't have to troll for fun in this costume. Bonus: You can rub your baby bump for good luck!

Bump on Board
Why We Love It: Yep, there's a bump in the road -- yours! Pair this funny painted street sign with a construction hat and traffic flags to complete the costume. Wear a button-down if you want more back and side coverage.

Nesting for Real
Why we love it: The bird sitting in a nest costume idea for moms-to-be gives an entirely new meaning to the term "nesting" and would be easy to DIY. One thing is for sure: this getup would win any costume contest, hands, er wings, down.

Basketball Star
Why We Love It: Throw on an athletic-looking top and shorts, and voila -- you're a WNBA player. Conveniently, the basketball is already included.

Hello World!
Why We Love It: Your world will revolve around that baby of yours, so why not give everyone a preview of coming attractions. Not-so-artistic mamas can print out a globe map, cut out the continent shapes and use as stencils.

Hawaiian Holiday
Why We Love It: Not so good with a paintbrush? This hula girl costume is paint-free, and the supplies are easily found at party supply stores. Clearly, this get-up is best for warmer climates (grass skirts are not known for their warmth).
