Halloween is a delightful time, especially when you’re expecting. The weather is refreshing, perfect for cozy horror movie marathons, and indulging in bulk candy is totally acceptable (even if you end up enjoying most of it yourself). However, if you’re a mom-to-be who loves to dress up, selecting the right costume can be a challenge. Should you go for the classic option like painting your belly as a pumpkin? Or perhaps the clichéd zombie baby look? If you’re feeling stuck, don’t worry! Here are some fun DIY Halloween costume ideas for pregnant women that will make you wish you could experience pregnancy again.
1. The Death Star
Imagine your belly styled as the Death Star—no one will dare touch it without your say-so. For those moms-to-be who can’t seem to get enough avocados during their pregnancy, this costume is perfect. Bonus points if you belt out the theme song all night long! If your trusty black maternity dress is your only fitting outfit and you’re not keen on attending that party, this option is just right for you.
2. Willy Wonka Theme
For families who love coordinating costumes, a Willy Wonka theme is simply fabulous. And if you want to impress your future child and introduce them to the idea of a sibling, why not transform your baby bump into a Ninja Turtle? Forget the traditional Winnie the Pooh baby costume; your bump can be just as adorable!
3. Castaway Costume
For fans of classic films, a Castaway-themed costume is a great choice. Not only does it pay homage to Tom Hanks, but it also keeps you cool while mingling with friends.
