Backstory
This emoji was introduced in Unicode 9.0 (2016), along with other pregnancy-related emojis, to broaden representation beyond the traditional 'pregnant woman' ideogram. The addition of skin tone modifiers in later versions (starting with Unicode 8.0 for many emojis, though 9.0 was the general release for this specific emoji) allows for diverse representation, reflecting a global user base.
Usage Examples

- Talking about motherhood: 'Motherhood is such a journey 🤰🏾'
- Discussing family: 'Thinking about expanding our family 🤰🏾'
- In health discussions: 'Learning about prenatal care 🤰🏾'
