The pandemic is at its worst yet, and we are stressed, y’all. But while we at SheKnows are spending most of our time reporting on the important news of the day, we’ll be the first to admit that sometimes we, too, need to sit down, take a break and just scroll. And while, yes, there are plenty of puppy videos for that purpose, we like to take our comfort-scrolling with a side of girl power and awe at the amazing transformations pregnant people go through to bring new life into this (weird, scary) world. Yes, it’s pregnant bikini belly photos time, people.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite celebrity preggo pics that show you can be fierce, fabulous, and gestating an entire human (or two or more!) all at the same time. So the next time you’re feeling down, just look at Chrissy Teigen turning awkward kitchen-perching into #glamlife or Tess Holliday’s ingenuity in balancing a solo cup on her unborn child’s butt. There is good in this world, after all.
Cardi B
View this post on Instagram
We love a good celebrity pregnancy surprise announcement and rapper Cardi B didn’t disappoint when she stunned fans and followers everywhere as she hit the stage to perform with husband Offset at the BET Awards in June 2021. Rocking a skin-tight body suit with her gorgeous belly on display, it’s Cardi and Offset’s second child on the way who’ll join their daughter, Kulture. Soon to follow was this Instagram post of the couple and Cardi’s bare belly (save a few tattoos) with the caption: “We listened to each other, communicated, prayed and then God blessed us and our family with another little blessing. Our home feels so blissful and very busy 😩but we are ready and so happy!! Thank you soo much everyone for the congrats and well wishes 🤗”

When trolls took to Instagram to criticize April Love Geary showing her naked pregnant self to anybody but her partner and co-parent, Robin Thicke, Geary had the perfect response.
“Your body is for your husband to see not the 🌎 🤦🏽♀️.” one commenter wrote.
“I don’t have a husband?????” Geary replied. “Also, no man owns MY body.” Amen to that.
Emily Ratajkowski
The supermodel and soon-to-be new mom announced her pregnancy just this week, and graced us with a beyond-gorgeous pregnant mirror selfie shortly thereafter — one in which she’s totally naked, except for her socks. Because honestly isn’t that just the best lounge outfit sometimes? We feel you, Emily.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t include Queen Bey herself, back when she was pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir and holding Princess Blue, looking like they’re all four of them getting ready to take over the world.
