| Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
Q: Is belly casting safe?
A: Yes. This process, as well as the all materials we use, is completely safe. We use non-toxic materials including medical grade plaster gauze and long time trusted Vaseline® as a lubricant to prevent the plaster sticking to your skin. Your baby is free to move around as normal and kicks may even dent or slightly crack the cast adding to it's uniqueness.
Q: What material do you make a belly cast out of?
A: We use medical grade plaster gauze. This comes in strips that are dipped into warm water and applied to your skin.
Q: When should I get a belly cast done?
A: About 36-38 weeks into your pregnancy, when you are at your fullest, so we get the best possible shape. If you are having twins we recommend having a belly cast done sooner. Monthly or trimester belly casts are also available - please enquire.
Q: Can I bring my partner or a friend to a belly casting session?
A: Yes, definitely. We encourage you to bring someone you feel comfortable with to join you in this unique experience. You may even wish to include you partner's hands in the belly cast too.

A: Baby Bump Belly Casts are made as keepsakes to last a lifetime.

You may even choose to make your belly cast into a clock or bowl. There are endless ways of displaying them.
