1. "Baby in Belly":

* Sign "baby" by forming a "B" handshape and touching your chest near your heart.

* Then, sign "belly" by making a "C" handshape and placing it on your stomach.

* Use facial expressions to emphasize the "baby" being inside your "belly".

2. "Expecting":

* Sign "expect" by forming a "5" handshape and moving it from your forehead to your chest.

* Sign "baby" as explained above.

* Use facial expressions to indicate anticipation or joy.

3. "Have Baby":

* Sign "have" by forming a "5" handshape and bringing it towards your chest.

* Sign "baby" as explained above.

* Use facial expressions to emphasize the fact that you will have a baby.

Important Note: The best way to learn how to sign "pregnant" is to find an ASL teacher or resource that uses visual demonstrations and context.
