I've not seen a hugely pregnant goddess with henna that I recall.

Plenty of happy, fecund, busty grinning ladies .... especially
Mycenaean figures, with henna and harquus, but they didn't look
pregnant. Just apt to become so.

I can think of a figure, may be a goddess, 3000 BCE Aegean, that
looked to be 4 months pregnant with nice henna and ornamentation, but
that's not all that far along.

I've got a print of an Indian woman being delivered of a child, and
her fingertips and toe tips are hennaed, but she's not a goddess ....
she's just a lady giving birth.
