Question

Can I use a duvet to make the belly really big?

Community Answer

You could, but you don't want it to be so big that it's not believable. It might work if you said you were expecting twins or triplets.

Question

How can I make a fake belly with clothes?

Community Answer

Get a pillow case and fold it like a diamond, a pair of pants or a shirt and roll it all up together before stuffing it under a tight tank top. Maybe use a cotton ball for the belly button as well.

Question

What can I do to make it look like the baby is kicking? Can I use a pet, like a cat, or is this bad for the cat?

Community Answer

Definitely do not do that. You'd be very likely to get yourself or the cat hurt in the process. When someone is pregnant, the baby's kicking is not really visible from the outside anyway.

Question

When faking a pregnancy, is it just the tummy area, or the legs and butt, too?

Community Answer

Not drastically enough to pad them out (only perhaps if you are very slim).

Question

Can I put a tank top over my fake pregnancy belly?

Community Answer

Yes, but you will need a loose shirt over it. Just a tank top will show the wrinkles.

Question

How can I be a convincing actress?

Community Answer

You should watch movies and take notes on what to do/ what not to do. Then, you should practice and rehearse as much as possible, so that you can improve.

You can't. It's too big and most likely will not fit your belly or be believable.

You could buy a fake pregnancy test that says that you are pregnant. It will be fake, though, and you will have to tell him eventually.

Question

What do I do if someone wants to hug me and I want the person to think the belly is real?

Community Answer

Hug them from the side so they don't press right against your "belly." Pregnant women often do this anyway.

Question

Can I just take the stuffing out of an old stuffed animal or buy the stuffing when making a fake pregnancy belly?

Taylor Phillips

You could but the stuffing would show lumps and make is look unrealistic. If you desire to do it this way I would recommend putting a piece of clothing or fabric over it.

What if someone asked you how many months pregnant, what should I say?

Nico

Top Answerer

This depends on the size of your fake pregnancy belly. If it's a medium size, say 4 months. If it's fairly large, say 8 months. If it's small, say a month or two.
