A cool way to preserve menories of the bump -- beyond just taking pictures -- is to create a belly cast. Here's what's involved.

doulala replied to a question about casting with the gorgeous pic (of hers) above, and with a detailed description of how to do it. Be forewarned: It sounds messy! But it also sounds fun. When you're done, you can decorate the cast or leave it au naturel, as it is here.

What do you think -- will you try a belly cast? Or not for you? If you do go for it, have fun getting all gooed-up!

I did one with my first child. I loved doing it, it was fun and the finale was beautiful, however.. about 2 weeks after he was born you have this big pile of "cast" gathering dust and your wondering just wth to do with it...
I ended up throwing mine away and didnt even flirt with the idea of doing one for my 2nd.

I've had 7 children 4 born at home and NEVER heard of this till this year.  I think it is an awesome idea.  I heard about it in a Birthing doula class I took.

However, interesting enough, 3 years ago I mad a face mask.....my friend told me about it, I was in a horrific motorcycle accident in 99, and it was interesting.  They did 11 hours of facial angel minisurgery, and have no sense of smell, and blind in right eye....so it did help in the emotional healing.
