With mince pies by the bucketload, cosy fireplaces and great Christmas TV to indulge in, having a winter due-date doesn't seem half bad. That is, of course, until you begin to plan your Halloween costume...
We won't suggest the classic white-bed-sheet-tomato-ketchup combo because, really, that's just a waste of good ketchup. But, also, you don't want to be slipping (or should we say squeezing) into some complex, super-tight costume, when you're tired to begin with, not to mention already carrying the weight of another human.
So, why not ditch the expensive costume and get creative with some paints instead. People spend hours working on Halloween-y SFX, trying to glue an extra hand or a huge scar onto their body. Well, if you've already got an extra human attached to yourself, you should probably take advantage of it?
Yep, bumps are beautiful and deserve to be the focal point of your Halloween outfit. With this in mind, we have scoured Pinterest in search of some bump-tastic Halloween painting inspo (so you don't have to 😉) and there's some absolute corkers in here.
Which one will you dare to try this Oct 31? Have a browse.

7 Halloween costumes ideas for pregnant ladies
1 of 7The marvellous pumpkin one. Shop body paint now.
This pumpkin carving idea is genius, we love it. Tim Burton eat your heart out. Use non-toxic face paint, find a pal with a steady hand and you'll be good to go. Not got any paints to hand? Not to worry, we've linked a fab set down below and hey, it's still delivering in time for the big day.
2 of 7Taking inspiration from Monsters Inc. Shop blue baseball caps now.
Yaaas, this is great, and an excellent way to scare the life out of your partner. Just grab a blue baseball cap like the guys at Monsters Inc (oh look, we've linked one down below that you can STILL get in time for Halloween) and you'll be all set.
3 of 7Make yourself an octopus friend. Shop body glitter now.
This costume is just so good. We'd suggest grabbing some coloured tights and stuffing them with whatever you can find - just tuck the waistbands into your trousers et voila, you'll be an eight-tentacled sea creature in no time. Plus - why not get some glitter on that bump for some real under-the-sea magic. Here's our top pick (link below).
4 of 7You ARE Superwoman, after all. Shop superhero headbands now.
Superwoman, Wonder Woman, Elastigirl - your options are endless. Just get your superhero headband now (link below) and you'll look the perfect nemesis to all those Halloween villains.
5 of 7Anyone for a game of basketball? Shop sports socks now.
This is a Troy Bolton vibe and we LOVE it. Now, all you need is those all important basketball socks and, lucky for you, we've linked them down below.
6 of 7The one where your other half can get involved...Shop bird masks now.
Turn your little nest egg into an, err, actual nest egg? It's not too late to get a bird mask either - check out this one from Amazon (link below), it'll deliver in time for All Hallow's Eve ud83dude0d.
7 of 7A human sweet pinball machine - how brilliantly bonkers! Shop fabric pens now.
OK it's not a painted bump, but we LOVED this one and wanted to include it anyway. We reckon you could achieve it with some fabric pens and a cheap white tee - we've linked our fave pens down below.
