Pregnant Man Emoji

A pregnant man holding his round stomach. Sometimes used in jest to represent feeling too full after overeating, as in a "food baby." The specific introduction of a “Pregnant Man” emoji was done after the introduction of the Pregnant Woman and Pregnant Person emojis due to the realization that men are surely left out in many contexts. Not only does this emoji uses playful tone but also gives importance to the other categories of people such as non-binary, transgender men, etc.

HISTORY:

Previously, the only reason to create this emoji depicting a man with a pregnant belly was playful consideration. However, now, its use expands the representation of pregnancy beyond traditional norms. Also, this emoji aims to broaden the scope of how pregnancy is represented in digital communication and recognizes the diverse experiences that people can receive after using it.

USES:

The inclusion of this emoji sparks discussions about representation, gender identity, and even the evolving nature of social norms. It can be used to describe the importance of reproductive rights and inclusive languages in group discussions on online communication platforms, stories, reels, or social media posts.
