Usage tips
Compound word
'Babybauch' is made up of 'Baby' (baby) and 'Bauch' (belly). The word therefore refers to the belly that becomes visibly rounded during pregnancy as the baby grows.

Typical collocations
Common expressions include 'einen Babybauch zeigen' (to show a baby bump), 'den Babybauch fotografieren' (to photograph the baby bump), and 'mit Babybauch' (with a baby bump). The word is often used in connection with photos, pregnancy, and clothing.
EXAMPLE
Sie trägt auf dem Familienfoto stolz ihren Babybauch.
She proudly shows her baby bump in the family photo.
With a preposition
'Mit Babybauch' describes someone who is pregnant or has a visible pregnancy bump. The preposition 'mit' (with) is followed by the dative case.
EXAMPLE
