Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program (ANFPP) nurse supervisor Trish Buller said the exhibit was made up of around 30 casts, some plain while others, like Brooke Ryan's were decorated.
"It's a permanent reminder of a woman's journey into becoming a mother and a symbol of first pregnancy and that experience," Ms Buller said.
"They can look at the cast and say 'yes, I was pregnant with you'."
Ms Buller said around 50 to 60 people were present at the exhibit's opening.
"It was amazing. There was a lot of emotion because it's an emotional time," she said.
"It was great to see some of the kids grown up. Some of the tummies that were on the wall were walking around."
The program has been running in Australia for five years, but was developed in America 30 years ago.
"The Nurse Partnership Program is an evidence based program that was developed in the States. [In Australia] it's for first time mums of Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander babies," Ms Buller said.
ANFPP assists and supports what Ms Buller described as "strong mums, strong women" until their children are two years old.
Ms Buller said she was thankful to the community and the women who were involved in the exhibition.
"The women are the reason we do this program. The women and the babies."
'Bellycast' can be seen at the WPCC until March 1, 2015.
