Pregnancy doesn't mean you are limited to choices for Halloween costumes. It just allows you to get more creative and have fun. In fact, pregnancy gives you costume choices that others wouldn't be able to pull off. Some costumes are better when given a homemade touch, but if you don't have the time to assemble an outfit you can always purchase a maternity costume.

Bun in the Oven - Dress up as an oven with a bun inside. This is a cute play on words. Even the father of the child could dress up as the baker. Although you can buy the costume, you can also make your own version by using a cardboard box, aluminum foil, etc. Your belly becomes the bun.

Gumball Machine - This is a cute costume. Simply take a clear garbage bag and fill will small, multi-colored balloons. You can wear a red skirt or red pants along with a red ball cap.

Bunch of Grapes - This is a simple and easy Halloween costume to assemble. Simply pin green or purple balloons on your clothing. You can opt to add a stem hat or make a headband with leaves.

Miss Conception - Wear a formal dress with a sash that says "Miss Conception" and top it off with a tiara. It is sure to make people giggle and easy to put together for you.

Paint Your Belly - Many pregnant women choose to dress up their future arrival by painting their belly. Some ideas are pumpkin or jack-o-lantern, the world, basketball, a fish bowl, a monkey, child trying to get out, and baby in the womb.

Mummy to Be - Take an old white sheet, cut into strips, and soak it overnight in strong tea. Let the strip dry completely and wrap your body with them. You can use brown, gray, and black face make up to look mummified beneath the costume.

Carebear - Buy a bear costume and cut out the belly. You can then paint your belly with your favorite Carebear design.

Lady of the Sea - You could adorn a mermaid costume or sea related outfit. Create a oyster shell to encompass your belly and paint your belly white to be the pearl.

Snowman - Wear a white outfit like a sweat suit or overalls. Paint your face white with black eyes and lips for coals, and a carrot nose. Top it off with a black hat and corn cob pipe. You can even add a scarf and carry a broom.

Pillsbury Doughboy - This is fairly easy to assemble. Simply wear a white sweat suit with the Pillsbury logo painted on it. Then wear a chef's hat. A word of warning, people will be tempted to poke/touch your belly.

Humpty Dumpty - What better way to get ready to ready nursery rhymes than dressing up as one
