I will be 9 months pregnant on Halloween this year, my first baby! We are going to be going with a pirate theme once again as we have all of our items to build a ship again this year. My pirate costume barely fit me last year let alone fitting over a 9 month pregnant belly, so my question is do I just put together a larger sized costume? Or does anyone have any great ideas for this new growth in the front of me? LOL

The best pregnant costume I ever saw was a woman in a black body stocking with a big eye painted on it. The couple that made the suit also made a lid that blinked as well (little handle in the side). A lot of people paint their bellies to look like pumpkins too.

yeah, when my mom was pregnat with my brother, I joked about her being a pumpkin If your really set on being a pirate than I would just gat a larger size. Do they sell maternity costumes?

Our first child is a Halloween baby. Guess that's from trick-or-treating the maternity ward at the hospital.

For our Halloween party that year she dressed up like a Mummy with two bumble bees on her shoulders....... So her costume was a "Mummy two Bee".

The Pod

Just paint your stomach like a pumpkin....

Dress up as a imprisoned pirate - modify your costume to have your belly be the 'ball' of a ball and chain - that you have to carry around everywhere you want to go. Attach a plastic chain from the 'ball' down to your ankle.

Pirate with cannon ball - replace chain above with fuse

Pirate with keg - (I would imagine this would be a bit more difficult to accomplish)

Pirate with head of the last man who called you a wench hanging from her belt (yes, that guy had a big head!)

You could use a fake arm holding each of these (yes, you just happen to be a three-armed pirate! - of course, at nine months pregnant, one hand is almost always at the small of your back, isn't it...)

Other options: Pregnant non-pirate (nun, rich governor's wife, etc...) captured by loathsome pirates....

Dang... Hoghunter beat me to it. One of our crew was very pregnant when we had our pirate party and I told her to dress like a pirate and paint her belly like a cannonball, but she wouldn't do it.

Okay...a little risque, but how about going as a slave wench that one of the pirates got pregnant? A scorned woman of ill-repute? Doll yourself up with scarves, necklaces, jewels and a gun for the man who did it to you!

OK, it's not pirate related, and don't shoot me for this, but I always think a pregnant nun is funny. You could be a "guy" pirate and glue some hair on your belly (as in a beer belly - or in this case a rum belly). Put a skull cap on, glue on a beard/mustache and there ya go.
