Halloween costumes for the pregnant crowd
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Activities: Babies, Mommy Musts
You're pregnant and need a costume fast. We're here to help!
There are always the tried (and true mildly offensive) couple costumes like:
- Pregnant nun and priest
- Pregnant cheerleader and athlete
- Pregnant hooker and guilty looking business man
- Pregnant schoolgirl in uniform and guilty looking headmaster
but you need to be thoughtful as to where you'll be, as it can be easy to offend neighbors or the other parents at your parochial school.
Another option might be to incorporate your larger size into something, well, LARGER.
- Humpty Dumpty
- Big Bird
- a pumpkin or other round fruit or vegetable
- black plastic trash bag with bits of debris attached to a pie plate for a hat
- oven with a bun in it
If you live in a warmer climate or will be indoors most of the time, cutting a hole in an over-sized shirt and giving that bulging belly a coat of paint might be fun. You could try:
- Painting it like a basketball and wearing a sports uniform
- Making it green and attaching a few Styrofoam balls painted the same color to a darker green sweatshirt and going as a pea pod
- Dressing like a gypsy and make your belly the white crystal ball
- Cutting an opening in some bib overalls and make that belly a watermelon
- Wearing something white or light blue, paint on some bubbles and fish and be an aquarium
- Use multicolored belly dots to be a gumball dispenser
No matter what you wear, you're sure to be the belly of the Halloween ball!
Thanks, Nicole!

Sandyone said...I painted my big ole belly a few years ago. We also revisited the belly painting in December, when a beautiful Advent wreath made it's appearance. It made for interesting angles.
Another year (not pregnant but this would work for a pregnant lady), I went trick or treating with the kids as a Flasher. I had on an overcoat, with bare legs and had a flashing flashlight under the overcoat. I opened the overcoat and announced "I'm a flasher". This was funny until the next day, during mass, when the priest asked the kids what they were for Halloween. My 3 yr old said, in a voice only a 3 yr old can muster, "My mom was a FLASHER!!"
