In Illustrator:

  1. Draw a circle with the Ellipse Tool

  2. Select the circle and go to Effect > Warp > Inflate enter image description here

  3. Adjust the settings to the desired result (make sure preview is on), apply the settings.

  4. Expand the resulting shape Object > Expand enter image description here
  5. You may need to rotate the resulting shape

Play with the settings in the inflate effect dialog box, results will vary.
