If you have a mermaid or merman on the way, you can still show off an ocean-inspired costume this Halloween. With stretchy, shimmering fabric that captures your mom-to-be glow, your baby bump will take center stage.
Katelyn Suter and her husband go all out for Halloween. Katelyn's blue morph suit and face paint instantly transform her into Violet Beauregarde (the baby bump is the perfect blueberry!), while her husband shines in head-to-to Wonka apparel.
Foreshadow holding your own little bundle of joy and turn your bump into a faux kangaroo pouch for a small stuffed animal. Make use of maternity clothes you already have on hand, then add animal ears and makeup for the full look.
It doesn't get easier or more comfortable than this costume. Simply pair your favorite T-shirt with a cape (or even a yard of fabric) so everyone knows about your superhero status.
