Thread: Pregnant belly 2010

I just found this....

I was going to suggest Nun, Octomum did it last year.

Shotgun Bride was another idea.

Congrats!!

I remember seeing this one women with a shirt that looked like this. (I googled maternity baby skeleton) I thought it was such a cute idea. You could always paint your face skeletal too if you want to kick it up a notch.

I was pregnant last year during Halloween, and was also bound and determined to avoid doing the pumpkin belly. I really had wanted to do the alien bursting from my belly, but I just couldn't find what I wanted. I also wanted to avoid the "bun in the oven" and pregnant nun as I've seen them done a lot, as well.

Anyway, I did end up with a pumpkin belly, but I added a Headless Horseman costume to it. Once I assembled the idea, I became really fond of it. I had some issues, and it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but everyone enjoyed it anyway.

Can you believe that it was impossible to get orange paint, or both red AND yellow paint?! I had to make my own paint, which didn't turn out well at all. I had hoped for a creepy pumpkin, as that went with the costume more, but hubby didn't paint that at all. I really wish I'd been able to paint my own, but I was going cross-eyed trying to do it in the mirror.

A friend offered to help me redo the costume, and to take pictures(only two were taken that night), but we just couldn't co-ordinate it.

Anyway, with the right twist, even a pumpkin belly can work!

Hi there!
I am also pregnant this year and will be about 32 weeks with a nice fun belly to work with.. very excited! I plan to do the pumpkin painting thing at some point but probably just when handing out candy and I can stay inside rather than when I attend Halloween parties. I usually have more than one costume in a given year for different events... however I plan to be a "Mummy" for the local Zombie Walk that we hold in London. Basically, just a giant pun! I figure the costume will be easy enough that at 32 weeks I should still be able to pull it off! I work for a vet so plan to just order a bunch of kling wrap gauze and use that and lots of fake blood. I have also though of the concept of doing Rosemary's Baby, basically by buying a 60s house dress (you can get them for not too expensive on Ebay) and probably using a wig to make myself recognizable as her... and my husband had the idea to basically just go as a 50s housewife (him as the husband with a knife in his back). Looking through all the costume ideas out there I am thinking that keeping it somewhat simple is better, just because of all the discomfort that might be involved in a more elaborate costume. Although I do love those ideas of having something bursting from the tummy! Have fun!

You could always go as a redneck. The baby belly would make one heck of a beer gut.

You could be a zombie soldier as they sell "maternal" military BDUs.

My friend was pregnant this past Halloween and was really excited about doing a CareBear costume. Unfortunately she wasn't quite as big as she had hoped for (pretty much a bad first trimester for her too), so it didn't turn out quite as funny as she had hoped. But if you have the belly, it could work for you.

When I was pregnant with my son I painted my belly like the full moon. His first halloween he was the man in the moon. We went trick or treating and everyone loved it. Most people got it right away too. We still laugh about it. Congrats by the way.

This makes me want to get pregnant all over again just to be able to wear this shirt I just love this!!

I was pregnant last Halloween, and I dressed up as Juno. It was a simple costume, pretty much using things I already had or that I picked up at Goodwill. My dumb husband wouldn't dress up as Polly, though. >:O
