Maternity Photos That Prove Laughter is the Best Medicine!"

Compared to some other photos on this list, this one isn't as awkward. But we're still curious about the horse. It's a bit puzzling. Nonetheless, it's not as strange as some of the other animal-themed maternity photos we've seen. Maybe the mom-to-be just loves riding horses and wanted her friend here to be part of the maternity shoot.

In most of the pictures here, there's no "after" photo. But to start things off, we wanted to give you something to ponder. We're a bit confused about this photo because it could've been simpler. For instance, was the second picture edited to seem like an "after" shot? If yes, why? Also, we're not pros, but holding a baby like that seems a bit iffy.

Many pictures in this list make us wonder, "Why?" For most of them, we can guess the reason. But this particular photo has us completely puzzled. Was it supposed to be amusing, smart, or shocking? We're just not sure. What we do know is, it ended up feeling a bit awkward. It's just a little odd to see a man's head on a pregnant woman's body.

Alright, we have to admit, the title for this one wasn't well thought out. Someone didn't really plan this photo. It's like painting a target on someone and then holding a gun right next to them. The message is pretty clear. We get it, baseball is all about swinging the bat hard to hit the ball. However, there are a couple of other explanations that are much more fun and light-hearted.

We've come across a few sports-themed maternity shoots, but this one is truly unique. It looks like the dad is about to shoot the mom's pregnant belly through a basketball hoop! We understand that a pregnant belly can have a similar shape to a basketball, but why the hoop? We guess it's just a playful way to celebrate pregnancy.

This photo is definitely cringey, but it's kind of sweet that the whole family joined in for the maternity shoot. It's not our choice, but everyone has their own style. Honestly, we're not sure what's funnier: mom in a football linebacker pose or the expressions on dad and sis' faces. They must have been wondering what they were getting into down there!

Being a Juggalo requires serious dedication, but we didn't realize it could become such a big part of someone's life. This woman chose to have a picture of her baby with Juggalo-style face paint drawn on her stomach. Just picture the questions that will cross this kid's mind one day when they look back at their maternity photos and see themselves dressed up like they're heading to an Insane Clown Posse concert.

There are quite a few photos on this list with people putting things in belly buttons, but this one is probably one of the strangest. Initially, we thought the father in this photo was holding a gas pump, but it turns out to be an air hose, as if he's inflating his wife's stomach. We can't really fault the photographer here for lack of creativity - because it's definitely creative.

This couple went the extra mile for their maternity shoot by adding a piece of art, or at least a hastily drawn sketch. While doctors can do ultrasounds, here you get an artist's take on what a baby looks like in the womb. And if you didn't ask for that, well, now you have it. Another common theme you'll notice in this list is dads going shirtless.

This might just be one of the most baffling photos on this list. For some reason, the father in this photo is the one whose pregnant while his partner looks like she's consoling him. It makes you wonder what the photographer was going for in this shot. It's certainly imaginative but it'd be fun to know just what the scene was supposed to convey to whoever ended up seeing it. 

This photo might just take the prize for the most cringey stomach art. The mom-to-be had a full-grown man painted on her belly, perhaps because they're expecting the baby to resemble the dad? Even so, it's a bit strange to see a painting of an oiled-up man curled into a fetal position. It also looks like the man might be sucking their thumb, or is it an umbilical cord? It's a bit hard to tell.

No, this isn't a still from Disney's live-action Robin Hood. It's actually a maternity photo taken at what seems to be a Renaissance fair. If not that, then the photographer must have had some very odd costumes on hand and decided to use them at the first opportunity. Someone even went the extra mile to put the word "proof" over the photo, as if anyone could ever forget this was taken.

Remember when maternity shoots used to focus on the baby? Those were the good old days. It seems the dad in this photo remembers too, as he looks like he's struggling to hold back his laughter in whatever pose he's been instructed to do. Strangely, he's holding up the peace sign next to his partner's belly button, almost like he's ready to make a quick exit after this photo shoot.

No, this isn't a promotion for a 90s-era toy. Surprisingly, it's a maternity photo, but you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for an advertisement. The photographer here most likely drew inspiration from those old commercials, because we're paying more attention to the bunny costume than the mom-to-be and her baby bump. If we didn't know any better, we'd think they were trying to sell us a costume of some sort.

Working in a family-owned business is a challenge, even for non-family employees. It's good to see a family that seems to have things figured out, even if their profession is Lucha libre, a Mexican-style wrestling. Putting jokes aside, this photo might seem a bit over the top, but truthfully, these costumes are actually better than most of the others on this list.

This photo pretty much speaks for itself, but we'll add a few thoughts. We can imagine someone, probably grandma, had a few questions when they saw this bold maternity photo. It's absolutely fine to express yourself this way, but we're not entirely sure the rest of the family was dying to know about this couple's... tastes. Nevertheless, you've got to give these two credit for their confidence.

Many stomach paintings on this list have featured sports balls for some reason, so it's a refreshing change to see something different. This mom-to-be had a cartoon baby drawn peeking out from what seems like a pair of denim. However, the teeth on the zipper give it a slightly scarier look than this couple probably intended.

There's a AAA fantasy going on in this photo, but we're not quite sure who's behind it. Alternatively, the tire might be a nod to where these two first met. Regardless, it's an odd prop for any photoshoot, let alone a pregnancy one. But hey, maybe it holds a special romantic meaning for them.
