Being pregnant means buying a whole new wardrobe filled with maternity clothes, t-shirts, and stretchy pants.

Absolutely, there are lots of different designs to choose from like Star Wars, Game Of Thrones, and Doctor Who. We’ve scoured the internet and featured our favorites below.
For those gamer moms that are looking forward to having a new person in the house to play video games with. Sure, you’ll have to wait a few years, but trust me when I say it’s well worth the wait.
Talk about a unique maternity shirt, this tee speaks to those of you who love playing Dungeon and Dragons, board games, and other RPGs. Looks like someone rolled a natural 20 and are leveling up.
That’s no moon… Your little one is being built day and night, much like this technological terror from Star Wars. Luckily, everyone will shower your baby with love and not proton torpedoes.
Are you having twins? Are you a huge Doctor Who fan? If the answer is yes, then this cute maternity shirt featuring a couple heart-shaped Gallifreyans is a must buy for those of you about to have a sweet pair of babies.
Having a baby is like going on a long adventure, but you don’t actually leave the house for more than a couple hours at a time. The next few years will be challenging, but you’ll be rewarded. Meanwhile, this shirt will try to keep strangers from rubbing your tummy like you’re a magical Buddha.
Here’s a gem for you if you’re a Rick and Morty fan. This Just Do It maternity shirt is screaming for you to wear it. You can look forward to hours of watching your favorite shows in the middle of the night while feeding your baby. That’s some quality cuddling time.
Are you a Potterhead? If the answer is yes, then feast your eyes on this maternity tee. Don’t let anyone accuse you of giving birth to any ordinary muggle. Your newborn is coming out with a wand, glasses and a scarf from Hogwarts.
Gotta catch em’ all! Or maybe you’re family is more about just catching one and raising it to the best of your ability. Either way, you’ve got at least one baby in you right now and it needs a mother to help it grow and evolve. For now you can just keep it protected in nature’s pokeball.
Please standby as we install and deploy a new operating system. It’s amazing all the changes that are happening inside of you right now. Your little one is growing, developing, and starting to use their new senses. Too bad these things install slower than Windows 95.
I don’t know the odds of your offspring being a reptile, but I’m going to guess it’s as close to zero as realistically possible. However, you can tell people anything you want, especially if it keeps strangers from touching your belly.
Here at Geek Baby we’re big fans of monsters. We’ve grown up being influenced by horror movies from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Not too mention Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. You won’t have the baby belly forever so you might as well have fun with it.
Like most things on the Internet, if you dig a little you’ll find something for anyone. Check out this Chemistry-inspired maternity shirt. Perfect for you science enthusiasts!
Peeking Out Captain America Shirt
Is there an Avenger hiding in your tummy? I’ll hold off on the giving birth to mutant jokes. Well if Captain America is in there, does he have a little mini shield? Don’t worry we feature plenty of superhero onesies you’ll be able to dress your baby in.
If you’re a Star Wars fan, then we’ve found the cutest maternity shirt made just for you. Just look at that little lightsaber. I’ll refrain from making any Tauntaun jokes. May the force be with you.
As a fan of the old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I have my own set of biasness when it comes to this tank top. Sure, Krang is an evil Emperor bent on inter-dimensional domination, but look how adorable he is with his little pacifier.
No, you’re not giving birth to a green mushroom, but there is a life inside you that’s waiting to come out. Nintendo fans can rejoice as they can celebrate this extra life through this maternity shirt.
X-Ray Reading Baby Maternity Shirt
What do fetuses do while they are hanging out in your tummy? Perhaps they read books, play games, and look at their phones. Probably not, but you can read to them while you’re pregnant. How cool is that?
Make sure you read this shirt slowly. It’s not referring to Adams, but rather atoms. It’s true, atoms are responsible for all the good and bad things in your life. You can’t really blame them, but you definitely shouldn’t trust them either.
Get that character sheet ready as you prepare to create a new level 1 human. I would argue with these stats, but overall this maternity shirt is perfect for you Dungeon and Dragons fans.
Charles Darwin Evolution Shirt
If you’re part of the scientific community, then this maternity shirt is a must buy. Darwin was a fascinating scientist whose research was leaps and bounds ahead of his time.
We featured a Death Star under construction maternity shirt above, but this shirt glows in the dark. Yup, you read that correctly, it glows in the dark. How amazing is that?
Game of Thrones took the world by storm. Very much in the same way that you’re little one is going to come into your life. You’ll never know what’s going to happen next as your baby grows up into a full-fledged adult. Grab some popcorn.
Uh oh, chest burstin’ time. Don’t worry, you’re not going to have to pull a Ripley at the end of Alien 3. Istead, you’re more like the Alien Queen fiercely defending her babies from any poor soul that threatens them.
Imagine the looks you’ll get from the inlaws when they see you sportin’ this child of the dark one maternity shirt. Fully embrace that Rosemary’s Baby vibe as you garner harsh looks from the elderly. Your baby is destined for greatness like becoming a future president.
I don’t think parents know they’re bringing a superhero into the world, until much later in life. I can’t predict whether your baby will be gifted with superpowers, but they will be your little hero from day one.
Poor Luke Skywalker never knew his mother. Fortunately, for your little one they will get to hear you tell them you’re their mother many times during their life. I can’t even begin to fathom how many times my own mother would sternly look at me and say, “You’re going to do what I say, because I’m your mother.”
Batman fans rejoice, we’ve found a maternity shirt that you can proudly wear when you leave your Bat Cave. Let’s just hope your little Bat baby doesn’t suffer the same fate as Bruce Wayne’s parents.
Personally, I don’t think you can own too many Star Wars shirts or baby clothes. This one happens to look like your going to give birth to a little At-At. Make sure you keep it safe from those sneaky rebels.
I know sometimes you might feel like you’re going to give birth to some baby dragons, but rest assured that being pregnant doesn’t last forever. While you’re waiting you might as well pretend you’re Khaleesi and everyone around you should be worshipping your feet.
We all know that R2D2 is the real hero in Star Wars. He saves Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme, Luke, and countless others. This pregnancy shirt does a great job honoring the most important droid in the universe.
You may not be pregnant during October, but don’t let that stop you from wearing some super cute Halloween maternity apparel. Just like the Ministry song says, “Everyday is Halloween.”
You probably feel like you’re carrying around a pumpkin in your belly, but don’t worry your little baby is growing in there. For those of you who love Halloween anytime of the year.
Cute, cuddly, and chomping at the bit to come out your little one is patiently waiting to go forth in the world. However, for now you can show off this adorable green monster as a placeholder for what’s to come.
If green monsters aren’t your thing, then maybe you’ll be tempted by this red big-eyed cutie. Look at its little fang. I don’t know how you could pass this up, but I’m guessing if you do, then you’ve already spent your money on the Star Wars and Game of Thrones ones featured above.
Little Jedi Maternity Tank Top
Is the force strong within you? Do you feel the overwhelming urge to visit Dagobah and be trained by Yoda? Are you scared that Master Qui-Gon Jinn is going to show up and kidnap your baby and take him to the Jedi Temple?
You’re not the only one who is done with this pregnancy. Your baby has had enough of your shenanigans. It’s kicking, punching and throwing a fit to come out already. Have a little patience and enjoy the your final months of peace and quiet.
So that’s where Batman hides during the day. This cute Batman maternity shirt lets people see what you’re really hiding under your shirt. Holy jumping kangaroos, Batman.
If you’re hoping for a little rock n’ roll baby, I would suggest you better be careful for what you wish for. This little metal head is banging around like there’s a death metal concert going on in your belly. Headbanging, feet stomping, and screaming get me the hell out of here.

The 16 felony charges of disorderly conduct against Jussie Smollett were dropped but there are still consequences coming his way. He will reportedly have to pay the city of Chicago back for basically wasting their time.
A letter was sent to Smollett and his legal team demanding that he pay $130,106.15 to cover the overtime of the two dozen police officers and detectives that participated in the investigation, Billboard reports.
“As a part of this investigation, Chicago police reviewed video and physical evidence and conducted several interviews, expending resources that could have been used on other investigations,” read the letter. “Ultimately, the Chicago police investigation revealed that you knowingly filed a false police report and had in fact orchestrated your own attack.”
To avoid prosecution the Empire actor will have to submit this payment in a timely matter.
Smollett claimed that he was attacked on January 29th, 2019 by two men who shouted gay and racist slurs at him while physically assaulting him on his way home from the airport. It was later revealed that the two assailants, Abimbola Osundairo and Olabinjo Osundairo, know Smollett and have played extras on Empire and one of them even trained Smollett in the past. After further investigation, the 36-year-old was indicted by a grand jury, but the charges were dropped five weeks later.
