The term "husband maternity photos" might sound like a bad joke to you, but for one Reddit user, it's all too real.
When he found out that his wife didn't want to take maternity photos, rather than get discouraged, this husband was inspired. He put his expanding gut to good use and hired a photographer to capture him pretending to be his pregnant wife. The result is a hilarious series that parodies every stereotypical pregnancy photo: the "hands on belly with a euphoric smile," the "lovingly gazing at own belly while reclining on a bed" and the obligatory "someone kissing pregnant belly as you affectionately look on."
Throw in a couple hilarious shots of this father-to-be devouring some ice cream, and this husband maternity series is complete!
