The 14 Best Pregnant Halloween Costumes

It's time to play dress-up with your bump! Halloween may normally be all about the cute kiddo costumes, and baby Halloween costumes get a ton of attention, too. But what about the stage just before that? Pregnant people have an awfully fun — and relatively rare — opportunity to dress up their bump. So make the most of it with a memorable pregnant Halloween costume.

You can dress up as a famous pregnant celeb (Rihanna at the Super Bowl, anyone?) or TV show or movie character, or choose to dress up your belly itself. Either way, Oct. 31 is the perfect opportunity to have fun with your bump in a totally new way. That said, there's a lot less inspiration out there for pregnant Halloween costume ideas than there is for, say, scary couple's costumes or costumes for friend groups of three. So we rounded up all the ideas you'll need to come up with a truly perfect pregnant Halloween costume.

Whether a parent-to-be is in the market for a funny pregnant Halloween costume, something comfy, or maybe even homemade, there's an option for you in this list of 16. Keep reading for a selection of the best pregnant Halloween costumes.
