What is belly cast in pregnancy?

Question

I've seen some pregnant women do belly casts and it looks like a nice keepsake. I'm curious to know more about what exactly a belly cast is during pregnancy and how it's done.

Arre, plaster of Paris se belly ka shape ka mold banate hain as a memory. It looks really sweet but thoda messy ho jata hai, haan!

My pregnancy app had a whole DIY tutorial on this! It's a plaster wrap you apply to capture your 3D bump shape as a keepsake.

I thought of doing a belly cast in my third trimester, but my skin was too sensitive. I'm glad I didn't press on my belly too much, especially with my recovery later, but it's a lovely keepsake if your skin allows.

Oh wow, I keep seeing these gorgeous painted belly casts on Instagram! Is it easy to do at home, or do we need a professional kit?

It's basically a plaster mold of your pregnant bump done around the 35th week. Just make sure to apply a thick layer of Vaseline first so the plaster doesn't stick to your skin.
