This mama to be photo shirt turns your own bump picture into a big black and white portrait, with MAMA in tall antique gold across the top and TO BE 2027 along the bottom.
It’s a personalized custom mom shirt that doubles as the pregnancy announcement, printed on a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
The magazine-cover look
Our sample is a soft maternity portrait: long wavy hair over one shoulder, a cozy knit wrap sweater, both hands resting on the bump as she looks down and smiles.
The gold MAMA overlaps the top of her head slightly, which is what gives it that magazine-cover feel. A professional shoot works, but so does a bathroom mirror selfie with good light. Vertical photos fill the layout best.
Who it’s for
Most often it’s the mom-to-be herself, holding a maternity photo she loves that’s currently just her phone wallpaper. Sometimes it’s her husband, ordering before the baby shower as a surprise.
Wearing her own bump photo in the reveal picture makes the announcement twice as clear.
Since every other shower gift is for the baby, this is the one that’s just for her.
If Grandma-to-be wants one too, she can wear her daughter’s bump photo to the shower.
Instead of the fifth onesie on the gift table, she gets something with her own photo on it.
When diapers feel too practical, a shirt with her maternity portrait is something she can wear on her last week before leave.
A mama to be sweatshirt over leggings is the whole outfit in a cold third trimester, so the crewneck earns its keep.
How to order your mama to be photo shirt
- Choose your maternity garment and size.
- Pick a shirt color. Gold shows best on cream, sage and darker tones.
- Upload the bump photo. Tall framing, face and belly both visible.
- Type the year. Use the year baby is due.
- Check out. Example: hoodie, size M, year 2027. The sample portrait is replaced by your photo, with MAMA above and TO BE 2027 below in gold.
Why her bump photo deserves the magazine-cover treatment
- Maternity photos take real effort and end up as a phone wallpaper
- Baby shower gifts are all for the baby, none for her
- Regular clothes stop fitting, and nothing comfortable feels like an occasion
Pregnancy is a whole season, and the mom-to-be deserves to be its cover star. Her bump photo printed big in black and white, MAMA in tall antique gold across the top overlapping her head slightly and TO BE 2027 along the bottom, like a magazine cover.
Is the fabric comfortable during pregnancy?
The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is a good pick: garment-dyed, 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton, relaxed through the body, S–4XL.
For a winter due date, a pregnancy reveal sweatshirt in the Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck (80% cotton, 20% polyester fleece, S–3XL) keeps you warm, and the Comfort Colors 1567 hoodie adds a jersey-lined hood, matching drawcord and a pouch pocket in S–2XL.
Size up one or two on the fleece for a slouchy fit that lasts into the fourth trimester. See the size guide. A Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve is also available, S to 3XL.
Kids’ blanks are on the list as well: the 9018 youth tee in XS to XL and the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie in 2T to 5/6T.

Shipping time
Your shirt prints in the USA in 1 to 3 business days, then USPS delivers in 3 to 5 business days with tracking, around 4 to 8 business days in total. We can’t guarantee an exact day, so order ahead of the shower.
Telling the family over the holidays? Order the mama to be design by December 5, 2026 for Christmas. Rates and tracking for her order are explained on the shipping page.
What size should I order while pregnant?
Most moms-to-be stay with their usual size, since the cotton tee and both fleece styles are cut relaxed and unisex. Want more room over the bump or plan to wear it after delivery? Go up one size.
The size guide lists chest width and length for each.
Can my partner be in the bump photo too?
Yes, as long as the picture is close. The layout is a tall portrait, so a tight shot of the two of you with the bump visible works far better than a wide, full-length photo.
Could I use a famous singer’s maternity photo because I love it?
No. The mama to be design only prints photos you took or have permission to use. Celebrities, rappers and other public figures are declined, and so are logos, brand names, team marks and cartoon characters. Those orders are canceled with a full refund.
More reveal designs are in pregnancy announcement shirts, and gifts for moms live in mom shirts.
