Pregnancy Belly Cast Kits Hit the UK

Already hugely popular in America, pregnancy belly casting is now catching on in the UK. A belly cast is a plaster cast made of a woman's pregnant belly or torso and is a beautiful and unique keepsake celebrating the miracle of life and honouring her gorgeous and full belly forever. Mothersbliss.com, located in Loughton, England has teamed with American company, ProudBody, Inc. to bring pregnancy belly cast kits to the UK.

"We are excited to have teamed with Mothersbliss.com to introduce this unique art form in the UK," said Wendy Tuey, ProudBody's President. "Making a belly cast with a loved one in the privacy of one's own home is a fun and easy project and can be completed in about an hour. No mixing of messy materials is required. A belly cast is an especially unique pregnancy keepsake since photos can only capture a flat 2-dimensional image, but a belly cast captures the exciting transformation that occurs during pregnancy in a full 3 dimensions. And after a belly cast is made, it can be left as is, painted or decorated in any other manner. A mom's imagination is the limit!"

Ranjana Hari, the CEO of Mothersbliss.com says, " We are very optimistic about the success of belly casts here. Belly casts are a perfect reminder of a purely magical time in a woman's life. What makes them even more special is the fact that they are available in easy DIY kits available for an introductory price of £32.50. "

Ranjana adds, "we are very happy that we have had the opportunity to introduce this great new idea in the UK."
