Get a huge orange t-shirt or sweatshirt, and paint a jack-o-lantern face on it (or glue on black felt to make a face.) Use elastic or a belt under your belly to give it more of a "pumpkin" look.

Go as a pregnant bride or a pregnant nun

Or just use any old costume that would work equally well pg or not (witch, literary character, etc.)

For an indoor halloween party, I'd say wear a cropped top and low rise pants, and paint your belly orange like a pumpkin! Or paint a monster face on it.

I was thinking Catholic School Girl or Nun... but i'm sure those have been done and I don't have the garb for such costumes.

Skeleton with a baby skeleton on your tummy

Paint yourself green and go as a Jade Buddah

Depending on weather:
Short shorts, white tank, colored bra, Pigtails etc...

Get the clown costume with the huge wire hoop waist... IYKWIM! I look hillarious in it, and as my belly is still smaller than the artificially created one, it is uber comfy!

When I was pregnant with my first child, to a Halloween party I wore a short black tight dress with black tights and a white circle with an "8" drawn on on my belly....an 8-ball!

I don't guess either of these would be very simple, but I was thinking about geting a big cardboard box and fixing it up to look like an oven. get it, like you have a bun in the oven? Or (not sure exactly how you would accomplish this), but go as a big jar of Preggo Spaghetti sauce. =)

I saw a costume like this for sale online. It actually looked horrible and I thought it could be much better done homemade!

At first I was thinking of dressing as a tree (brown pants, green top with leaves) and trying to build a nest around my belly, which would be an egg. But I think I'm going to go with pregnant bride or pregnant prom queen.

I saw one once that I loved - the woman wore a one-piece longjohn set dyed dark green, and made a cap for her head to look like a pea pod - and then had a light green shirt on underneath with buttons undone so that her belly hung out - a pea in the pod!

Funny this thread is here, I was thinking of this last night.
I was thinking of being a Playboy Bunny who saw better days. You know bent ear, ripped fishnets, holding a 'can' of beer in one hand, obviously pregnant.
Wonder how many people would think it was funny...

I LOVE the playboy bunny who's seen better days idea. if entering a sontest you'd have to use the term 'playboy mommy' at some point.

This is actually what I was thinking about doing! I saw a belly painting gallery on a belly cast site I was looking at, and I loved the idea!

Me! That's great. I had a friend who dressed up as a "fallen" angel, blacked out tooth, crooked halo, pregnant. It was pretty funny.

When I was pg with Griffin, I wanted to be a "pregnant pause" - wearing all black and attach/paint two vertical white lines on my (clothed in black) belly. You know, like a pause button on a VCR/DVD/whatever.

DH said nobody would get it. I still think I was freakin' clever.

I had a friend that painted her tummy as a watermelon when she was pregnant. When the baby was born, they took a picture of her, naked, in a watermelon bowl (watermelon cut in half and then all the 'meat' taken out to leave just the rind) and used the two pictures in the birth announcement.
