OK, we know that stock photography is a necessary part of online culture and is a fine art hard to perfect — but, seriously, sometimes we come across some photos of pregnant women that literally make us say “WTF” out loud.
We rounded up some of the oddest stock images of pregnant women we could find that are sure to leave you scratching your head and laughing… we just hope a baby isn’t sitting on your bladder.

Even the Easter Bunny is afraid
Whether you think of Harvey or Donnie Darko, not even being pregnant can make a bunny costume anything less than creepy.
Waiting for the ambulance
Whatever gets you through your contractions.
She’s glowing
Being pregnant doesn’t automatically make you a slob.
Doomsday due date
Because moms-to-be don’t have enough to worry about already.
Butterfly net
Maybe this is just super artsy, but it’s way over our heads.
Hardcore nesting
We’ve all heard of nesting, but this is taking it to the next level.
Nothing fits
Oh come on, maternity fashions aren’t that bad.
Does a baby good
This woman read on the internet that the baby absorbs the calcium better if you hold the milk against your bump.
Hard-hat mama
Taking care of a baby is a tough job, but the hard hat won’t be much help.
Excuse me
There’s only one way to explain this photo- mom had chili for lunch.
Watering the bump
Most women use lotion or oil to try to prevent stretch marks, but maybe the secret is constant baby bump watering?
Just passed his boards
This is a pretty pitiful attempt to re-create Doogie Howser, M.D.
What’s with the flower?
A ton of pregnant stock phots feature the mom holding some sort of flower against her belly, but why? Every baby book measures baby size in terms of food, not flowers, so it’s not like you see a rose and instantly know she’s 18 weeks along. And while the baby might be able to hear you, not even the specialist of snowflakes can smell from inside the womb. If mom was holding this bloom behind her back to help mask any pregnancy gas this would make way more sense.
H2 No
Is for those dumb “pregnant women look like whales” jokes?
Stay hydrated
Didn’t anyone tell her pregnant women should lift anything heavy?
Bratty big sister
No mom’s going to let her kid rub whatever that mess is on their belly, no matter how much guilt you have over making her lose the title of baby. And another -500 points if what she’s wasting is precious chocolate.
A heck of a horse
Gender reveal: You’re doing it wrong.
Supermom
Just looking at this picture is enough to make you want to take a nap.
Baby guard
These storks look ready to fight to the death if you dare to touch that bump.
Run for it!
Um, really?
Hello, it’s me
Psst… the baby can hear you without a headset.
Step away from the belly
Nope, that’s not how labor works.
House of horrors
Maternity photo shoot missed the mark here, but on the bright side, this picture makes a fantastic Halloween shot.
Funny mommy
Yo, pregnant women aren’t something to laugh at.
The gloves are on
If you try to touch her bump without permission, she will deck you.
