A excellent method for preserving every month of your pregnancy is to make belly molds for fetal growth. Tummy molds are made with plaster and gauze bands into a mold replicating the shape of the pregnant belly at a certain developmental stage, or more than one stage, during the course of growth.
The perfect moment to do the belly molds for fetal growth is between the seventh and ninth months of pregnancy where the baby's development is in its enhanced stage, but you can make belly molds for fetal growth at every stage during your pregnancy.
Tummy casts can be made by rubbing Vaseline on the part of stomach that you desire in the cast. Few expecting mothers choose to mold their torso, hands, palms, and/or thighs too for a increased memorable experience. After putting the Vaseline, or a matching lubricant, you should dip pre-fabricated plaster strips of gauze, one at a time, in tepid water. Next, you layer the gauze strips on any section that you have lubricated.
After the tummy cast for fetal growth has been in place for about half hour, you should remove it by gently moving the cast to free it up and ask a friend take it away and place it some place to set fully over the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
When it is ready you must put some Gesso to the belly mold. Gesso may be applied as a primer for paint for the belly molds for fetal growth. Gesso is a pulverized form of the mineral calcium-carbonate which is used for crafts, and is safe to use. You can paint it, put motifs on it, or leave it plain; use your creativity and you will get a memorable form of art for decades to come.
Most plaster is safe for the skin but you will want to do any designing and decorating to the tummy cast after it has been taken off from your stomach so that no toxic constituents from paints or dyes can seep through the skin causing discomfort to the mother or your baby.
