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

    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.

    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.
