Halloween Costumes for Mothers-to-be

Halloween is quickly approaching and with that comes cooler temperatures and spooky costumes. Often times, stores only carry certain sizes to costumes that people want to wear, leaving others wondering, "What on earth can I dress as?" One such target are those who are expecting. Finding a costume with a protruding belly can be hard to find, leaving some to just give up on the idea. However, I came up with a few ideas for those expecting that can let them celebrate this fun holiday yet still feel comfortable (or as comfortable as they can be!) going to a party or trick-or-treating with other children.

1) Udderly Silly Cow

If anyone has seen those ridiculous cow costumes people wear, you know what I'm talking about. They have the plastic-like udders sticking out from the rest of the body leaving a nice-sized pouch between the costume and the skin. Why not take advantage of your belly being big to fill in the space. It's supportive and somewhat whimsical - pregnant or not. However, with a belly it can be comforting to know that people aren't staring at your belly because it's big, but because the utters are sticking out of a walking cow.

True, it may not be something for every pregnant woman, but, for those who just want to go out for a night of fun and festivities, it can be a costume that is almost guaranteed to fit the belly comfortably. Also, the plastic-like material used is somewhat hard so it adds a little protection to the belly area. However, finding the costume may be a tad tricky. Lately it's been only available (in our area) in costume shops, meaning if you want to dress like a cow then you better order it early or you may not be guaranteed a rental. Your only other option is to find a halloween store (yes, they exist!) early in the season and see if they have one in stock or can order one before Halloween.
