Belly Cast - anyone had one?

Mommy2Isabella wrote: Sal and I want to get a Belly Cast done of my belly when I am about 8 1/2 months. I was wondering if anyone else had, had it done or did it themselves. I was looking on google and it was just a bunch of links to make your own, like buy the kit. I kind of want mine professionally casted!

Has anyone heard of this or gotten it done?

Bee_Kay replied: Boy oh boy...

It has been a LONG time since I've been pregnant....

I've never heard of it.... but it's a great idea!!!

AlexsPajamaMama replied: I have heard of it and it looks really neat! Great keepsake!
I didnt have it done when I was pregnant, but I think I would 2nd time around!!

mom2tripp replied: DO IT!!!! Sal and I talked about it and I wanted one soooo bad but we didn't----I've seen women get all of their girlfriends over and do it--LET US KNOW

MamaJAM replied: I first discovered belly casts while preg with DS#1 -- I thought about getting it done...especially with DS#2 since he's our last...but didn't know what I'd do with it if I got it done. I wouldn't want it up on the wall for all to see....I joked with DH about getting it made into a fruit bowl for the table - but we agreed no one needs that much fruit!! ftr - I get huge while preg....a cast would have been a little scary.

A friend of mine's mom got the kit and had it done at her baby shower. It was really neat.

Nina J replied: I've heard of it but never had it done. You should definatly get it done

What will you do with it? And where will you put it?

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: If you want it done professionally, contact a school in your area. College or university art departments could probably direct you to someone.

MM'sMama replied: Ditto DO IT! I never had it done but always wanted to.

Edward's Mommy replied: We wanted one, but we didn't have the money to get it done. Hopefully with the next!
