One of our favorite things about October is seeing everyone’s clever Halloween costumes — and it seems like pregnant women are some of the most creative when it comes to DIY ideas. Yep, moms-to-be have the ability to unlock the artistic sides of their brains in ways that the rest of us just can’t imagine, and they use those powers to come up with hilarious, adorable, and even occasionally scary Halloween costume ideas for pregnant moms that all prominently feature their baby bumps. We’re not just talking about the old painted pregnant pumpkin bellies, either.

As we all know, there are a lot of ways to get into the Halloween spirit. You can start celebrating with friends, carve creepy-cute jack-o-lanterns, play fun Halloween-themed games with the little ones, or even have your dog join the fun.

But while you’re sitting around eating Halloween candy and sipping pumpkin protein smoothies, moms-to-be everywhere are busy crafting away — and the end results are something special. Zombie babies, pop culture references, puns galore — they’ve thought of everything. We’re pretty jealous of their creativity, to be honest. But we’ll just have to borrow a little inspiration while working on Halloween costumes for our own friends and family.

The Kool-Aid Man

Cassie's Instagram caption perfectly expresses how you should approach finding Halloween costumes for pregnant bellies: "If you don’t have fun on Halloween with your bump then you’re doing life wrong." We can't stop saying "Oh yeah" every time we look at her funny pregnant Halloween costume.

Pregnant Winnie the Pooh Costume

G Celeste's DIY Winnie the Pooh costume is the perfect mother-son getup for her little Christopher Robin. There's no reason your other little ones can't be a part of your pregnant Halloween costume ideas. We love how her crop top shows off her growing belly — and Pooh's round tummy (which is no doubt full of sweet honey).

Pregnant Ursula Halloween Costume

If you're a big Disney fan, you're going to love Heather Hansen's Ursula costume DIY job. Hansen used her pregnancy curves to help fill out her Ursula Halloween costume from The Little Mermaid. The tiny details, like her shell necklace, tied the whole look together, and her family dressing up as Ariel and King Triton was the cherry on top. We love that she pulled off a creepy pregnancy Halloween costume — Ursula was the villain, after all — without being over-the-top scary.

A Snowman

For those seeking seasonal-inspired cute Halloween costumes for pregnant women, we recommend this sweet snowman get-up.

Peas in a Pod

This clever mom used her baby bump as one of the peas in her three-pea pod. Even better, Britni Harris is not dressed up in your average peas-in-a-pod costume — she's the adorable Peas-in-a-Pod toy from Toy Story 3.

Mummies are usually associated with horror movies, but this scary maternity Halloween costume is one we wouldn't mind unwrapping. With her sweet pink bow and angelic eyes, the only thing that's scary when it comes to the baby's mummy costume is how much we love this creative idea.
