Inspired By Her Own Pregnancy, Artist Reimagines Disney Princesses As Pregnant Mothers Trying Their Best
Disney princesses would make great mothers, but before that, they must go through pregnancy.
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful experiences couples can go through. This applies to fathers as well as mothers; it's a unique and special kind of love that helps couples bond on an even deeper level.
Creating another life can be surreal, scary, and exciting all at once, and it instantly begins to change your life. Anna Belenkiy is a freelance digital artist who goes by the username annabell_illustration on Instagram. Anna recently began experiencing pregnancy for the first time and made sure to document her journey with the help of our favorite Disney princesses. These illustrations are part of her project “Real-life Princesses.” Scroll down to check them out!

“So I wanted to talk about the elephant in the room:I imagined my pregnancy to be gentle and magical. No one prepared me for the fact that I would be a huge gas balloon without any control over it, so I’m here to tell you the whole truth about it.At this point, I can definitely say that the romance is gone.”

7. Ariel
“They say pregnancy makes you glow and look pretty; glow and pretty, my ass! It feels like I haven't slept for ages. When I look in the mirror, she screams back at me and begs me to stop! And what is the deal with all the pimples? I had fewer when I was a teenager! Only Ariel understands my pregnancy pain.”
