If your partner is incubating a human, well, then you may need them even more!
{I’ve tried to include attribution for as many funny pregnancy quotes as possible, but many were anonymous and/or found on Pinterest. I did some basic Googling, but this is a Mom Blog, not the New York Times, so…}
*Note: The graphic says 25 hilarious pregnancy quotes, but I’ve continued adding a bunch without updating the photo. Enjoy!
Now let’s take a look at these funny pregnancy quotes!
“You don’t realize how many people you and your spouse have despised over the years until you have to name a baby.” (For real though — this was such a struggle for us!)

“I’ve never even kept a plant alive, but they’re going to let me leave the hospital with a baby? This doesn’t seem right…”
“Warning: Due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, I could burst into tears or kill you in the next five minutes.” -RotteneCards
These quotes remind us: pregnancy is exhausting and pregnancy brain is REAL
“I have two brains in my body, but I’ve never been so dumb!” – Gloria in Modern Family
“Pregnancy. It’s just like a constant hangover.” – Ellie Kemper (As someone who’s had horrible morning all-day sickness over several pregnancies, I would say this funny pregnancy quote is also a bit PTSD-invoking)
“Pregnancy is the happiest reason ever for feeling like crap” (and all the pregnant mamas said, “Amen!”)
“Growing a baby makes me feel like a superhero. A really tired, weak superhero who wants to eat all the time and is not allowed to lift heavy objects.”
“Sure, I could try a pregnancy yoga class, but personally, I prefer to do my breathing and stretching solo… lying down… Napping. I’m talking about napping.”
Turns out, there’s a lot of funny pregnancy quotes out there about peeing.
“It’s a great thing about being pregnant, you don’t need excuses to pee or eat” -Angelina Jolie
“Peezing – peeing and sneezing at the same time.” – The Joys of Pregnancy
“Peeing on a stick and preserving that stick is the start of the many disgusting things you will do as a mother.”
“I used to have a terrific flat stomach but now it’s kind of blown out after two giant babies used it as a short-term apartment.” – Amy Poehler
“To pee or not to pee? That is never the question. Pee. Definitely pee.”
There are also a lot of funny pregnancy quotes about eating, which should surprise exactly zero people.
“Pregnancy is nine months of cheat days.”
“That moment when all your friends are dieting and exercising and you’re just like, ‘Baby wants a cupcake.'” – someecards.
“When your wife is pregnant, don’t eat the last, ANYTHING.”
“My everyday meals include breakfast, brunch, lunch, pre-dinner, dinner, pre-dessert, dessert, dessert#2 and a post-dinner snack.”
“I know my baby is going to be an over achiever. I reached my healthy pregnancy weight gain limit in the first trimester.”
It’s not always funny when pregnancy seems to last forever
“Everybody leave me alone. I’ve had a busy day being pregnant and I have to do it again tomorrow.” – someecards
“Waiting for this baby is like picking up someone from the airport but you don’t know who they are or what time their flight comes in.”
“At night, I go to bed like a fairly normal person, but I wake up stranded, like a turtle upside-down on its shell.”
“The baby hasn’t even come out yet and I am already so resentful towards my husband. Especially when he asks me to do stuff around the house. ‘Hey, can you wash the dishes?’ ‘I am not doing jack s#%t anymore; I’m busy making an eyeball!’” – Ali Wong (Her Baby Cobra special is on Netflix, but here’s a link to this specific clip. Be advised: she uses some strong language).
“Months have an average of 30 days, except the 9th month of pregnancy which has about 1,000 days.”
“When pregnancy feels long and endless, I like to think on the bright side: no periods!”
And let’s not forget all the awkward comments from other people.
“When people ask me idiotic things like, ‘You know what causes that, right?’ I like to respond with “No, please explain it to me.”
“If someone asks me if I’m due any day now, even if I am, I always lie. I could be 42 weeks pregnant, but I’ll still say, ‘Nope, still got three more months to go!’ just to see their horrified faces.”
“Pregnant women should come with a warning light–like the ‘check engine’ on a vehicle. When they’ve endured one too many stupid comments from strangers it should turn on. When they’ve hit their absolute limit with those comments, it should flash and beep.”
Pregnancy isn’t always fun, but it can (almost) always be funny.
I know it’s hard to laugh with the hormones, weight gain, and nausea–plus, laughing too hard might make you pee your pants (again), but try not to lose your sense of humor or those nine months will seem even longer.
Cheers to a happy, healthy, humorous pregnancy, mama!

Hahahaha I love these! “Peeing on a stick and preserving that stick is the start of the many disgusting things you will do as a mother.” Oh man. That is embarrassingly true.
I love the George Bush and Gloria from Modern Family ones!
I thought those were great too! One thing I have to say about Gloria’s quote — it’s not just a funny PREGNANCY quote… it applies to motherhood too (at least, for the first several years). My kids are 8, 6, 3, and 7 months and I am still feeling dumber by the day!
These are funny yet absolutley true statments,I love it
THanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed them 🙂 Having just made it through my final pregnancy (amen and hallelujah!!!), one thing I really appreciate is pregnancy humor!
I absolutely loved reading this!! My favorite quote was this one because it’s SOOOO true.
“Peeing on a stick and preserving that stick is the start of the many disgusting things you will do as a mother.”
Right?! One thing these quotes have nailed is that while pregnancy (and motherhood) may be funny, it’s also absolutely gross!!
Haha! The “congratulations.. for what?” one is especially hilarious! Loving all of these!

Hi Jennifer,
I love that one too! I have gotten a lot of nice or funny comments when pregnant, but sometimes the commentary is intrusive or downright rude. I may have to keep that little quote in my back pocket for payback!
Charissa
These are hilarious! After having 3 kids, sometimes I end up doing some sort of Yoga leg twist to keep the peezing in. It doesn’t always work. lol.
Hi Brittany,
I have three kids too and the struggle is so real! Pregnancy may be a blessing but it certainly leaves an aftermath that’s not quite so funny! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Charissa
This is so hilarious. I was rolling on the floor after reading the line on peezing.
Hi Pragnya,
Yes, pregnancy may be funny but it sure isn’t glamourous, is it?!
Charissa
Hilarious! So much of this. My 9th month of pregnancy with my daughter definitely lasted 1000 days! 😂
Hi Stephanie,
Yes, there is basically nothing funny about the last month of pregnancy! I feel like the first and last months of pregnancy run on their own timetable, and that timetable is PAINFULLY slow!
Charissa
Unfortunately, I am not a mother (yet), but my two sisters who are would greatly appreciate these hilarious quotes!
Hi Albany,
I’m glad your sisters will appreciate them — definitely send the funny pregnancy quotes their way. And I wish you a successful journey to motherhood when the time comes. 🙂
Charissa
“Waiting for this pregnancy is like waiting to pick someone from the airport ….” that one is so true 🙂
Right? When I came across that one, I thought, “I’m not sure if anyone has ever described the end of pregnancy so accurately but so succinctly.” 🙂
These are really cute! I loved, “Baby wants a cupcake!” Fun post!
Hi Patricia,
Thank you! Yes, I have to say that during allllll of my pregnancies, my babieds definitely wanted cupcakes (or, more accurately, cheesecake)! It’s funny but also perhaps a little sad lol.
Charissa
Peezing! OMG that’s hilarious. I needed this laugh today
Seriously, until I’d been pregnant a few times, I had no idea peezing was a thing. Live and learn! I also have to say that until I came across that particular pregnancy quote, I’d never heard those two words combined. Funny but sad but true haha.
