Maternity body casting molding is an resourceful and unique method to memorialize the stages of maternity, creating a 3D family memorabilia that can be done up, colored, and showcased as creative work too.
Though some expecting mothers create one belly molding to cherish their maternity with, while others prefer to create many sculptures for remembering different phases of their gestational period. Besides casting the pregnant tummy, few choose to cast their breasts, arms, hands, or another body part they desire, to be cherished in the cast also. A popular position for a belly cast is with the mother's arms protecting her swollen tummy.
A few women decide to share this experience with their spouse, while others think it would be more enjoyable to celebrate it with their girl friends and/or family too. Whatever the choice is, pregnancy stomach casting is a job for at least two people, more if pictures of the body casting procedure are wanted.
