Pregnancy is a treasured time in a woman's life as she watches her body swell with the promise and hope of new life.

These 30 mothers-to-be were so elated by the experience that they wanted to capture the beauty of their blossoming forms
on film - but perhaps they didn't realise just how awkward their family pregnancy snaps would turn out?

The very funny collection of images, published by TheChive.com, shows new mothers proudly displaying their blooming bellies
in weird poses, often wearing strange costumes or masks, or simply standing as their equally awkward-looking partners caress
the fruit of their loins.
