This emoji shows an expecting mom cradling her bump, perfect for sharing big news, baby-fever vibes, or a heartfelt congrats. On Apple/iOS, she wears a purple long‑sleeve top, angled in a three‑quarter portrait with a gentle closed‑mouth smile, medium‑dark skin tone, shoulder‑length hair, and both hands hugging a round belly—clean gradients, no props, instantly recognizable.
It’s also the go-to for a dramatic “food baby” after a heroic brunch, Thanksgiving, or all‑you‑can‑eat sushi saga. Creators drop it in captions when teasing a secret project they’re “pregnant with”—album, startup, thesis—because the internet loves a metaphor. In group chats it can read tender and celebratory, but also sarcastic: “this tea got me expecting,” or flirty-jokey: “you’re giving me baby fever, chill.” Around baby showers and gender‑reveal discourse, it usually rolls with confetti, strollers, sparkles, and a thousand exclamation points. And yes, it lives alongside the pregnant person and pregnant man options for inclusivity, while this variant centers a medium‑dark complexion for representation. Think ultrasound reveals, midnight pickle‑and‑ice‑cream cravings, and those “we’re nesting” weekend updates—it covers the whole timeline from whisper to baby shower.
