Pregnant? We round up our favorite Halloween costume ideas from solo looks to fun couples and family costumes. Celebrate the season with festive, bump-friendly outfits!

Halloween is the perfect opportunity to get creative, and if you’re expecting, your baby bump adds a whole new level of costume fun! Whether you’re going solo, dressing up with your partner, or planning a family theme, we’ve got some festive and imaginative ideas that will make this Halloween unforgettable.

Solo Halloween Costume Ideas

These costumes let your baby bump shine as the star of the show. Whether you're going for something cute, funny, or a little spooky, here are some fun solo ideas:

Magic 8 Ball

Dress in all black and paint or attach an 8-ball sign over your bump. Let people ask questions all night—your belly holds the answers!

Avocado

Go as everyone's favorite fruit! Your bump serves as the avocado seed, and you can make the costume as simple as a green dress with a brown patch on your belly.

Bun in the Oven

Make or buy an oven-shaped costume with a “bun” over your belly—because you’ve literally got a bun in the oven!

Snow Globe

Embrace the season with a winter-themed snow globe costume. Add a clear dome around your belly and fill it with sparkly “snow” to create a magical look.

Gumball Machine

Turn your bump into a colorful collection of gumballs by attaching pom-poms or colored felt dots to your shirt. Add a red bottom for the machine’s base.

Skeletons

Wear a skeleton outfit, but with a twist: Your skeleton will have a little baby skeleton over your bump

Couples Halloween Costume Ideas

Take your Halloween look to the next level with these fun and clever couples’ costumes that incorporate your bump and your partner:

Chef and Bun in the Oven

One of you dresses as a chef, and the other as an oven with a bun inside—it's a cute way to announce your little baker on the way.

Peanut Butter & Jelly

You can both go as a perfect match! Dress as two slices of bread, one with peanut butter and the other with jelly, while your bump adds the finishing touch.

Sunny-Side Egg and Bacon

Let your baby bump be the sunny-side-up egg while your partner goes as crispy bacon. Breakfast never looked so cute!

Bee and Beekeeper

You dress up as the busy bee, with your bump as the buzzing belly, while your partner takes on the role of the beekeeper. A sweet and fun way to work together!

Mario and Power-Up Mushroom

Be the iconic Mario, with your baby bump as the Power-Up Mushroom, and your partner can join as Luigi or Princess Peach.

Alien and Astronaut

Go intergalactic with one of you as an astronaut and the other as an alien, with your bump adding some extra “otherworldly” fun.

Pirate and Treasure Chest

One of you can be a swashbuckling pirate, and the other a treasure chest full of gold—your bump can be the hidden treasure!

Popcorn and Moviegoer

Your baby bump can be a bucket of popcorn, while your partner dresses up as the ultimate movie fan with a soda and ticket stubs.

Family Halloween Costume Ideas

Include the whole family in the Halloween fun with these themed costume ideas that bring everyone together—including your bump:

Star Wars Family

You can be Princess Leia or Padmé, with your bump as the next Skywalker. Let the rest of the family join as Luke, Darth Vader, or even Baby Yoda!

Jurassic Park Family

Go prehistoric with a dinosaur family theme! Your bump can be a little egg, while the rest of the family dresses up as dinosaurs or paleontologists.

Group of Mummies

Embrace the spooky spirit as a family of mummies! Wrap yourself, your partner, and your kids in comfy strips of gauze or fabric to create a classic mummy look. Your baby bump can be wrapped too, making it the perfect tiny "mummy-in-the-making!"

Tips for the Perfect Halloween Costume While Pregnant

Comfort is Key

Choose costumes made of breathable, stretchy materials to keep you and your bump comfortable. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive.

Dress for the Weather

October can be chilly, so layer up or choose a costume that lets you add extra warmth while still showing off your baby bump.

Keep It Simple

You don’t need to go over-the-top. Sometimes a simple costume, with the right accessories, can make the biggest impact.

Safety First

Make sure your costume allows for easy movement and balance, and avoid any props or accessories that could be a tripping hazard.

Make Halloween Extra Special 

Whether you’re dressing solo, with your partner, or the whole family, Halloween is the perfect time to have fun with your baby bump! These creative and cozy costume ideas will help you celebrate this exciting time with plenty of Halloween spirit.
