Halloween is one of those magical times of year when neighborhoods light up with pumpkins, kids dress as their favorite superheroes, and there’s a 
buzz of excitement in the air. If you’re a surrogate mom, you might be wondering how to join in on the fun while still keeping yourself and the baby you’re carrying safe. The good news? There are plenty of ways to enjoy the season, celebrate in style, and make memories with your family.
Costume Ideas That Keep You Comfortable
The best costumes are the ones that make you smile and let you move comfortably. If you’re pregnant during Halloween, you have the perfect opportunity to get creative. Think of fun belly-friendly costumes. This blog, found at Happiest Baby, has some great ideas and includes pictures!
The key is to choose something that’s light, breathable, and doesn’t put pressure on your belly.
Sweet Treats That Are Safer Choices
We all know candy is the star of Halloween, but not all sweets are created equal. Stick to treats in sealed, store-bought packaging to avoid any concerns. If you’re trying to be mindful of sugar, opt for dark chocolate or small fun-size pieces instead of overindulging. And don’t forget hydration is important, especially with all the walking or festivities. Keep a water bottle handy.
Celebrating with Your Family
If you have kids of your own that are trick-or-treating age, walking the neighborhood or attending a local “trunk-or-treat” can be a safe and enjoyable way to celebrate. For a more relaxed evening, you could host a pumpkin-decorating night at home, watch a not-so-scary movie, or hand out candy while enjoying the costumes that come to your door.
Being a surrogate doesn’t mean missing out on the fun of Halloween. With a little planning, you can enjoy the costumes, sweets, and laughter while keeping both yourself and the baby safe. It’s a great reminder that this journey isn’t just about the big milestones; it’s also about enjoying life’s little celebrations along the way.
