Fun Ways to Celebrate Halloween While Being a Surrogate

Halloween is a time for fun costumes, sweet treats, and festive activities. But if you’re a surrogate mother, celebrating the holiday might looka little different—especially when considering your health and the little one you’re carrying. You can still enjoy the spooky season with some creative, pregnancy-friendly ideas that make you feel included and comfortable.

Here are some fun ideas on how to celebrate even while pregnant:

Creative Costumes That Highlight Your Bump

One of the best parts of Halloween is dressing up in costumes, and pregnancy opens the door to some truly fun and creative costume ideas. Consider costumes that highlight your baby bump. Ideas like a pumpkin patch, a gumball machine, or even a cute animal mama like a kangaroo can all be bump-friendly and fun! These types of costumes allow you to embrace your pregnancy in a playful way while staying comfortable.

Host a Cozy, Halloween-Themed Movie Night

If you’re not in the mood for a big outing, hosting a Halloween-themed movie night is a great way to celebrate. Pick out a selection of classic, family-friendly Halloween films, grab some pregnancy-safe snacks (popcorn, fruit, and dark chocolate are always great options), and cozy up in your favorite chair. It’s a fun way to relax while still getting into the Halloween spirit without the need for too much physical activity. Here’s a list from Freeform with their annual 31 Days of Halloween movie schedule!

Pregnancy-Friendly Halloween Treats

Halloween is synonymous with sugary sweets, but as a surrogate mother, it’s essential to maintain a balanced diet. That doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the fun, though. Make some pregnancy-safe Halloween treats like yogurt-covered pretzels, dark chocolate treats, or fruit slices with fun Halloween shapes. You can even invite friends or family over for a low-key Halloween bake-off, making festive but healthy goodies!

Outdoor Fall Fun

If you’re feeling energetic and the weather is cool enough, participating in outdoor fall activities can be a great way to enjoy the Halloween season. Consider visiting a pumpkin patch, going on a hayride, or enjoying a fall festival. These are low-impact activities that allow you to be a part of the festivities without overexerting yourself.

Decorating Your Home for Halloween

Carve pumpkins, hang up spooky decorations, and maybe even create a fall-themed wreath. Decorating can be a relaxing and fun way to get into the spirit of the season.
