Maybe it’s because pumpkins have long been symbols around the world of fertility and fullness (think about it: they’re round, they’re heavy, and they’re filled with seeds). Or maybe it’s because a ripe, round gourd is roughly the exact same size and shape as a nine-month baby bump. Whatever the case, “pregnant pumpkin” art is officially a thing—and from the hilarious looks of it, it’s here to stay.
