Dads-to-be are posting pregnancy bump photos and they’re both hilarious and cute

These are hysterical... but they're also incredibly cute!

Maternity photoshoots have become huge in recent years with more and more mothers wanting to capture moments with their baby bump. However, in recent months, dads also want in on the action and have been capturing a weird pose that makes expectant dads look like they're pregnant.

The dads are using the mothers' bellies as props, and it's actually done quite easily! You don't need any photoshop or pillows stuffed up shirts.  All you really need to make it happen is a pregnant mom leaning backwards and a conveniently placed tree or doorway. Simple! CafeMom spoke with maternity photographer Shannon Decole, who started shooting the pose about a year ago. She said: "It was a tactic to loosen the couple up," she says.

"Dads and husbands seem to be so uptight about being in front of the camera. It was for a good laugh and so cute I posted on my Instagram." Of course it's a little bit silly, but if it loosens everyone up and makes them have a good time, we're all here for it! And to be honest, the 'pregnant dad' pose is one of the best we've seen in a while.
