how about a spider web with a baby caught in it? Something like - oops, caught the baby bug - due to be released in 9 months

Maybe something - "Goblins & Ghouls go bump in the night and cry with pain..." "In 9 months your Son and DIL will be doing the same" and in case subtlety doesn't work "(on the way to comfort your new grandchild)"

Love It! Still laughing!
I love this idea too. And it would be easier than the first one (which I still think truly rocks). You could stamp a pregnant woman with a bag in her hand into a halloween scene (or visa versa if your masking) and voila - the sentiment works.
This stamp would be perfect with one less bag masked out:

What about a hidden slider card where the baby themed image pops out (a baby or baby buggy or something)?
Then maybe the sentiment on the slider could be something like "Its no trick, its a treat"
Here is a hidden slider Halloween card as an example:
