Halloween is a holiday that lets a pregnant person truly shine!  When someone is pregnant, there are so many creative and fun options for costumes that incorporate and celebrate the newest family member.  If you teach childbirth classes that are scheduled during the week of Halloween or even better, on Halloween, you may see your class participants arrive ready to celebrate with an amazing costume.  You can even encourage costumes and make a party out of it.

Here are some costumes that celebrate the pregnant body with fun, creativity and humor!  I know I can count on at least one person every year coming to class sporting the pregnant skeleton, and sure enough, in Monday’s night, an adorable pregnant person did not let me down.
