Adoption of a child or surrogacy are sometimes the only ways to bring a baby into a family. The attitude in modern society towards such procedures is sometimes ambiguous. For this reason, not all couples are ready to advertise the true origin of their baby.
Modern legislation in our country makes it possible to keep the fact of adopting a child or undergoing an IVF procedure secret from others. But in this case, young parents are faced with the need to simulate pregnancy. A false belly is the most realistic and affordable way to accurately depict the process of bearing a child.
Pregnancy with a secret
For every woman faced with the need to depict pregnancy, one of the most difficult questions is: “Where can I get a belly?” The first months of an interesting situation can not be advertised at all, or you can play it off with dignity by choosing loose clothes. But in 4-5 months of pregnancy, the absence of a belly will cause confusion among others. A pillow or ball will not help to depict the desired figure. Where can I get a false belly? There are several options to solve this problem.
You can make a fake pregnant belly with your own hands at home, purchase a ready-made one, or have it made to order. Demand creates supply, and today many companies produce overlays to depict pregnancy. Moreover, manufacturers of such products offer their customers a wide range of products. Even the most demanding customer will find an option that suits her in terms of price and quality.
So that no one guesses
To depict pregnancy in the early stages, you will not need any devices, because until the second trimester the belly practically does not grow. Later, the lack of a belly may cause some questions from friends and work colleagues. This is where you will need a special device in the form of an overlay. The first question that arises is where to get such a false tummy? Depicting an interesting position using various improvised objects, for example, a ball or a pillow, is quite difficult and, as practice shows, inconvenient.
To solve this problem, you can use two options: make a false belly yourself at home or purchase it on the Internet or a specialized store. Today, many companies are engaged in the production of such goods. By the way, bellies can be found in different sizes to simulate different stages of pregnancy. It is safe to say that even the most demanding customer will be able to choose a product of this type for herself.
What types of false bellies are there?
Today, tummies for simulating pregnancy are made from textile materials, silicone and latex. Products in this category consist of a voluminous overlay and a fastening system on a woman’s figure. Which false belly to simulate pregnancy should you choose? It all depends on how carefully the woman plans to portray a special position.
The thing is that all false tummies are divided into two categories. The first includes silicone products, which are as realistic as possible. You can wear them without covering them with clothes. Products made of latex, padding polyester, foam rubber or fabric are suitable only for visually simulating pregnancy. Such bellies will need to be complemented by loose clothing. And the expectant mother would do well to ensure that the most prominent part of her body is not touched by strangers.
Secrets of a flat stomach
Every woman dreams of having a thin waist and a toned stomach. By the way, simple secrets of a straight belly can help you have a figure close to ideal, as well as get rid of unpleasant kilograms:
- Eliminate from your diet foods that retain fluid and contribute to bloating: fatty, high-calorie foods, alcoholic drinks, smoked products.
- Your salvation is constant physical activity, it will bring you a delightful waist.
- Do anti-cellulite massage regularly to improve muscle tone.
- Adopt a special exercise - “vacuum”, which ensures proper breathing and contraction of the abdominal muscles.
Some girls use little tricks to hide a completely unflat stomach. They carefully select their clothes - high-waisted dresses, larger blouses that disguise their imperfect figure.
If you prefer tight-fitting clothes, you don’t have to worry about unattractive folds - special shapewear will create a slender silhouette.
Do not attach much importance to the problem of a non-flat stomach. If you're not lucky enough to have a flat tummy, try focusing on other benefits of your body.
The clothes chosen by the fashion designer will emphasize the graceful breasts or slender legs, which can overshadow the imperfections of the tummy. By choosing rich flowers and prints of outfits, you will be able to visually reduce your waist circumference and create the illusion of a slender figure.
You can use the secrets of a flat stomach, but know that you can only get a beautiful figure and an ideal body through regular exercise and proper nutrition.
Watch your posture, find time for active recreation, beware of depression, stress, eat nutritious food, and your reward will be a toned, beautiful figure with a flat stomach.
Silicone tummies to simulate pregnancy
Many expectant mothers are happy to arrange themed photo sessions, allow their loved ones to touch their belly and proudly show it off. Today, all these simple joys are also available when simulating pregnancy. The silicone false belly looks so realistic that no one will doubt the special position of its owner. This material has sufficient softness and elasticity.
Another unique property of silicone is the ability to heat up when worn from the heat of the human body. Such a belly can be proudly touched by everyone; there is no doubt about its realism. Silicone onlays for simulating pregnancy are made in realistic flesh colors. They vary in size according to the different months of fetal development. The fake belly made of silicone looks just like a real one, it even has a belly button! This means that during a simulated pregnancy, the expectant mother will be able to wear swimsuits, tight clothes and be photographed with a bare tummy. The only drawback of silicone products is their relatively high cost.
False bellies made of latex and textile materials
Pregnancy imitation pads made of latex and textile materials look quite realistic, are lightweight and low in cost. The simplest products in this category are volumetric pillows that are secured to the figure with a system of elastic bands or straps. Such bellies can be seen in the fitting rooms of maternity clothing stores. They are most often used in theaters, filming and advertising.
The latex false belly is more elastic. However, when touched, it does not seem realistic. And yet, products made from latex, foam rubber and synthetic padding will help to ensure a good pregnancy experience when combined with loose-fitting clothes. These overlays are also suitable for wearing with demi-season and winter clothing. An expectant mother who proudly wears such a belly is advised to remember that allowing strangers to touch it is unacceptable.
How to make a pregnant belly at home?
It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to simulate pregnancy. One of the cheapest ways to transform into an expectant mother is to create a cover-up for your clothes with your own hands. How to make a false belly at home without outside help? You will need soft filling and fabric for the cover. You can stuff the belly pad with padding polyester, foam rubber and cotton wool. For the cover, it is best to use natural fabric with a neutral pattern. Form the outline of your future belly from the filler.
Oval belly pads are easiest to use and look most realistic. The cover is sewn from two identical parts and filled with filler. The easiest option for securing it to your figure is wide elastic bands. Just sew 3-4 of them at equal intervals. It is advisable to try on at each stage of work and then the false belly will be ideal for your figure.

11/10/2010 08:41 Hello. I encountered the same problem. I am a fashion designer and I will soon defend my diploma. A collection of clothes for pregnant women, but I don’t know how to make bellies! Please advise, or maybe someone has a pattern on how to sew it, or someone made it for themselves, but now it’s no longer necessary; I’d be happy to get a tummy!
Thank you in advance!

10-11-2010 12:48 look at sites about adoption. In Google you can type “imitation” or something like simulating pregnancy and so on. I saw diagrams for making a belly at home for different months of pregnancy. Here’s what I found for you: “Buy 3-4 meters of padding polyester and 2 meters of wide elastic. cut out a rounded belly from padding polyester according to your parameters, cut the next layer slightly smaller than the previous one, the next one even smaller, etc. until the required month. You put them on top of each other, smooth them with an iron so that they are tighter... Cover them with fabric so that you can split the top and, if necessary, add layers of padding polyester in a couple of months (to enlarge the belly). Sew 3 elastic bands along the edges (so that you can put them on across your legs): one elastic band is located under the chest, the other is located in the waist area, the third is just above the tailbone (so that the “stomach” does not twist). That's it - ready!!! Very comfortable - nothing falls out, does not twist around the waist. On top you put on tights (bondage is optional), maternity pants and off you go” or “The thickness of the foam is 1 cm, it can’t be thicker. Covered with gauze folded in 3 layers, the gauze hides the imperfections of the foam well and the tummy turns out so round. Now here are detailed instructions for making: lay out the foam on the floor, take plates of different diameters (the difference between the diameters of the plates should be approximately 1-1.5 cm no more), from a pie dish to a tea saucer, place them on foam rubber, trace them with a marker and cut out circles. The largest diameter is equal to half the waist circumference. Additionally, you need to cut out a circle with a diameter of 5 cm. Then you approximately determine the center of each circle and fasten it along this center (sew it through with thread, do not tighten it) IMPORTANT: a small circle of 5 cm is placed under the upper circle from the saucer, then you will get a bulge effect if you do not put it flat. After the circles have been secured in the center, you need to trim the edges of the foam so that there is no stepped belly. Then you stitch along the edge with a basting, starting from small to large, then you cover it with gauze, secure the gauze from the inside, gradually increase the volume by sewing circles of larger diameter to the bottom.” People also order from theater workshops. Well, it’s probably possible to rent it at a maternity clothing store

10-11-2010 13:01 I found another hint on the Internet that they order silicone bellies in sex shops.
and here is an advertisement for a Ukrainian company that makes it for $1,500 (but it’s very expensive, there are cheaper options) https://www.surrogate-mother.ru/rus/surrogacy/surrogacy_help.html Zarovnaya Lena

look again. About 4 years ago I saw a pattern with step-by-step instructions. Now I can’t look for it, but I haven’t saved it. Or, as an option, go to adoption sites and you will find links there or someone will send you a pattern and photos. Nowadays, many photographs are kept under passwords and are not posted publicly. Show us some pictures of your maternity clothes later. I really want to see and dream about the belly Zarovnaya Lena

11/17/2010 01:41 and I would recommend you real pregnant models!
invite you to a demonstration of the collection, they have a lot of free time (if the pregnancy is progressing normally), and they will gladly agree to new impressions, and the commission, I think, will not evaluate it so strictly... (of course, if demonstration on a mannequin is not a mandatory requirement?) V@sec

Well, the fact that bellies are growing is no big deal :-).
This means you need to come up with a model like this, for example with a high waistline. I just remembered myself, when they sewed a custom-made wedding dress for me, I had a decent belly, which very quickly became even more decent. But it did work out, and it was very beautiful. albaniaya

She will defend her thesis in the spring or summer. Pregnant women will already be ready to give birth by then. An option is to sew on a mannequin, and then before the defense, look for already pregnant models at the antenatal clinic. Plush bunny

11/19/2010 15:52 thank you for such an active condemnation.
but I absolutely don’t want to be pregnant already. I worry too much about them, you never know. I don't want to risk it! albaniaya
19-11-2010 17:25 correct.
and again, you will still have to look for a slender, beautiful, cheerful pregnant woman and it will be cheaper to sew up a belly and ask your fellow students. It will be freaking beautiful. Lena, I’m really looking forward to your clothing models login13
11/19/2010 18:39 And then in the pregnant thread, offer ready-made suits, in case they buy them.
Zarovnaya Lena 11/19/2010 20:56 no, I’ll keep it for myself. I am planning a pregnancy myself.
Caring for pregnancy imitation pads
Silicone and latex pregnant bellies do not require special care. When they become dirty, they can be washed with soap and water and dried at room temperature. It is not recommended to leave realistic overlays for long periods of time exposed to direct sunlight. Textile products can be washed by hand without spinning and dried on a horizontal surface. Any fake pregnant belly can be worn in combination with underwear, bandages and special clothing for expectant mothers.
How to play pregnancy correctly?
The need to depict pregnancy can arise in a woman’s life under various circumstances. You should prepare thoroughly to play this role. It will not be enough to just make a false belly with your own hands or purchase a finished product. You will also need to carefully study the manifestation of external signs of pregnancy and learn how to imitate them efficiently.
The easiest way to pretend to be pregnant is through surrogacy. A biological mother can communicate with the woman carrying her child and copy her behavior. If you need to depict pregnancy under other circumstances, we recommend that you communicate with expectant mothers on the Internet, visit antenatal clinics more often, or even enroll in courses for pregnant women.
The talent of an imitator, or a make-believe pregnancy
15 August 2014 - 08:35 | Kozyulinka in Adoption
Adoption is such a troublesome and such a noble endeavor. Sometimes it provides the only chance to become parents - alas, medicine is not omnipotent, and many people cannot afford the services of a surrogate mother.
The state guarantees the secrecy of adoption, and many couples willingly use this right. This is where you have to resort to simulating pregnancy. The main difficulty with this is that no one even gives an approximate date for the appearance of the adopted baby.
The adoption process can take on average three to six months (in rare cases longer), so it is very important to think through your “pregnant legend” as carefully as possible and try to talk about it as little as possible so as not to get confused in the details later.
Your colleagues, family and friends are probably already aware of, or at least guessing about, your difficulties with childbearing. They will not be at all surprised by your complaints about hormonal imbalance, cycle irregularity and an ambiguous picture from the ultrasound results. This deceptive maneuver will help you later shrug your shoulders when asked about your gestational age and expected due date. Although you will be completely sincere about this - you also don’t know when your child will be born!
You will have to spend a lot, a lot of time reading and communicating with real and imaginary pregnant women on forums (what a blessing that you can do this incognito on the Internet!) in order to better understand the sensations that you yourself might experience. Carefully observe expectant mothers, adopt their gait, demeanor, and finally surprise your loved ones with extreme taste preferences! Superstitiously spit over your shoulder on all controversial issues - now is just such a rare case when those around you can easily blame any whim on pregnant hormones! And if suddenly the incredible happens - they give up your seat on public transport, do not refuse, next time such a chance may arise only in old age.
HOW TO REMOVE SIDES AND BELLY. HULA HUP. Secrets of a THIN waist. Alisa130287
No matter how diligently you fake pregnancy, the only significant and indisputable “evidence” is a growing belly. Women simulating pregnancy have a choice of what to do best: make a false belly with your own hands from improvised materials or buy a ready-made one.
Homemade bellies (bandages to which pillows, balls, etc. are attached - the authors’ imagination is not limited) cope with their role quite well, but they should not be touched by strangers in order to avoid “failure”.
Store-bought false bellies to simulate pregnancy are quite realistic, but also expensive. The price of the issue varies between 5-30 thousand rubles. However, no one is stopping you from purchasing a used “belly” or even renting it (yes, such a service exists).
Silicone belly is more expensive. It looks and feels like human skin, anatomically it completely replicates a real belly, there is even a navel! Silicone takes body temperature, it can be captured in a photo shoot and touched through clothing. There is another argument in favor of silicone - the weight of a false belly ranges from 1 to 3 kg, and this seemingly inconvenient circumstance will help you not to forget about pregnancy and in itself will change your gait.
A cheaper analogue is latex. Of course, upon closer examination it is unlikely to pass for the real one, but if the imaginary pregnancy occurs in the autumn-winter period, then under warm clothes you will be able to deceive even close friends. Molded foam rubber is also used to make false bellies; you definitely shouldn’t let anyone touch it with your hands, but you will save significant money.
You will have to wear a belly from about 3-4 months of pregnancy. It must be changed every 1.5-2 months, in accordance with the child’s development calendar.
Future adoptive parents face other problems when simulating pregnancy. Some of them require an attentive attitude and thinking about the development of events several moves ahead:
- 1. Finding a doctor who will “manage” the pregnancy;
- 2. Maternity leave. Naturally, one of the adoptive parents is entitled to leave for the period from the date of adoption of the child until the expiration of 70 calendar days from the date of birth of the child, then parental leave is issued until the child reaches 3 years of age.
Those. a female imitator will not go on maternity leave at 30 weeks, because no one can guarantee that in 8-12 weeks her baby will be ready for adoption into the family, and this is not stipulated by law. Therefore, many expectant mothers prefer to quit their job and move away from prying eyes “for vacation,” “for childbirth,” “to see mom,” etc.
- 3. Curious neighbors, relatives and friends. Agree that it is difficult to pass off a six-month-old baby as a newborn. But it also happens that by the time of “birth” in the orphan database there are only grown-up babies.
To ensure that discrepancies in height, weight and appearance do not raise unnecessary questions, it is better not to show the child to anyone for the first time (a month or two or three). Some families prefer to move to a new place of residence and start life from scratch.
Social workers will certainly help the adoptive parents in many organizational matters, they will even admit them to the hospital for childbirth, but it is better to think through your actions in advance, because incidents happen to everyone.
The moment you see your unborn child for the first time and hold him in your arms is as touching as if you gave birth yourself. You are separated from him only by a court decision, a simple formality. After it, all you have to do is change the baby’s last name, first name, patronymic and date of birth. And that’s it, now you don’t need to imitate anything anymore. The child is yours. Just love him!
Cost of false bellies
How much do pregnancy belly covers for women cost? You can buy a textile product for 3-5 thousand rubles. Prices for latex bellies start at 5 thousand rubles. Super-realistic silicone bellies are the most expensive. Their price depends on the quality of execution and can vary between 7-30 thousand rubles.
False bellies are sold in maternity supply stores. They can often be found in the departments of theatrical makeup and props, and aesthetic prosthetics. If the cost of pregnancy imitation pads seems too high to you, you can make an analogue with your own hands. Our instructions on how to make a false belly at home will help you with this.
Reviews from real customers of pregnancy imitation pads
The topic of having children is quite personal and sensitive. It is not always appropriate to talk about any problems in this area even among the closest people. A false belly to simulate pregnancy will allow you to keep the fact of surrogacy or adoption a secret. This simple device will help you conduct maternity photo shoots and show off your interesting position in front of curious friends and neighbors more than once. Some models even allow you to lead an active lifestyle, visit a swimming pool or the beach. Women faced with the need to pretend to be pregnant use special pads. Many of them anonymously share their admiring reviews. If false bellies are worn correctly and with caution, exposure is almost impossible!
What else do you need to know?
None of the women is immune from the need to pretend to be pregnant. As we have already said, this may be necessary to maintain the secret of surrogacy or when adopting a baby. At the same time, mommy should remember that depicting pregnancy is not so easy. You should prepare for this role in advance. Here it will not be enough to simply purchase a false belly or make it yourself. It is important to skillfully depict other signs of an interesting situation.

When it comes to surrogacy, pretending to be pregnant is easy. A woman just needs to communicate more often with the surrogate mother and try to portray the symptoms that appeared at one time or another, for example, nausea, mood swings, tearfulness, irritability. Many girls even attend courses for pregnant women. If we are talking about adoption, you can study the symptoms that appear during pregnancy using the Internet or from the stories of friends. To make it clearer to our readers what we are talking about, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the signs of an interesting situation:
- Breast augmentation.
- Nausea, vomiting.
- Frequent mood changes.
- Tearfulness, irritability, increased emotional sensitivity.
- Change in taste preferences.
- Increased sense of smell.
- Drowsiness.
- Pain in the lower back and lower abdomen.
