My 12yr old daughter is inflating her belly on purpose.

[MommyAbby]

I just recently found out that my daughter has been inflating her belly. This does not seem normal to me. I had notcied for the last 6 months or so, that her belly appeared differently from day to day, sometimes flat, sometimes really bloated. I had figured it was just her starting her period. But a couple months ago I found and air pump in her room cleaning, it was hidden in her jewelry box under the bed. I hadn't thought much of it at the time, other than 'Why would she have this here?" well a few days ago i noticed her going to the refrigerator for something to drink. I was past her bedtime, and when she turned around to walk back to her room, she looked pregnant. So yesturday i got on her computer, as I usually never do, don't want to be a nosey mom, and i found a folder that has dozens of videos of her inflating her belly like a balloon. She always wears clothes, but this is very strange isn't it?

I looked up online about this, thinking my daughter had some very bizarre disorder, but instead found that alot of girls do this same thing. and they seem normal enough as well.

Now what I am really worried about is safety, could this cause some kind of permanent harm, and should I have a councelor look at her. If this is actually some kind of normal thing, i don't want to critisise or make her feel bad for doing it. But I just really don't know what to do about this.

Thanks, Abigail

its completly safe if shes been doing it for a long time she knows when to stop inflateing her belly just let her do it

I will be honest:
Yes, it can be dangerous to inflate your belly.

But if your daughter knows when she needs to stop, and dont takes more than she can handle whitout pain it should be okay.
I mean, there are a lot of people who do this, and some of them get really, REALLY huge whitout any damage or pain. Its just a thing of training how big her belly will get. You said she looked pregnant one time? That sounds like she is doing it for a longer time now and is used to the pressure and air in her body.
There is just one thing that needs to be clear:
Where does she stick the hose? Her butt, or her *****?
Well, i think if shes already used to it, it doesnt really matter.

So, let her go. Just be sure she knows her limit.

I'm sorry but I am so confused. Why would a child do this? If there is even a small risk of it being dangerous she should stop, for the simple fact that there is no reason to do it. I am so confused by this.

As said above, its not dangerous if she knows her limits.
Inflation is one of the more innocent fetishes out there, (trust me, there are much, much worse). Maybe talk to her about it, make sure she does push herself to far.

Hi My name is Kim and I am an R.N. I know some find strange but this not as bad or as
other said strange. you do need to talk about to her and with doctor if she is having any issue.
If not at lease talk find the reason and know find out what she knows about what she is doing.  
Also know that by you finding out you could have her go into hiding her fetish that seem to adapted some earlier than some.
  As an R.N. i work in a surgical unlit and have well inflated many people  low air flow and slowly for surgeries.
  She should know not to induce air into vaginal canal as that would be very bad. if she doing water enemas as well she need to know to use pure water.
Too much water can cause issue like water intoxication.
   There instructions to what to use and is safe listed on many sites.
My thought are talk to her  don't act scared but to see what you can do to see if she can give the reason it and educate her on the pro and cons as
Yes if she was to use too fast a flow she could do some damage but she would feel pain and know to stop.
IF she is making video she is most likely sharing them so she may have friends doing this.She need to stop if posting them. What get posted stays posted.
Now if you find any adult got her into this and has been get the video bust that idiot..
There are adults as you know look to traik young people into things. IF there is an adult connection bust them. If ot old young male bust them.
IF it is her friends that same age  leave it They will grow out of it .
If you expos her friends it will have a ripple effect on all. If you feel the need to talk to her friends parents think on it and watch what you say. People freak out on things kids do.  They can grow out of this as they get owner but yes you want to know and let know it is ok to talk to you about it.

As a R.N. of over 27 years i seen many strange behavior. I see people who do the coming to the ER but not for that reason they over inflated  but has come up.
One time when a girl came in after inflating her self and slip and broke her arm in her bathroom.
.I look at her said when are you due she laugh and reached under gown and let out the air.. (one big fart) The whole ER was all laughing at it. It was the not the last one over time.

Again Talk do not freak out and be clear she needs to be open and honest so you can know if she has issues at anytime. As an R.N. I can say the human body is amazing and people do a lot to theirs . Belly inflation by now you can see is big  manly in young adult and older. She learn about it and is trying it. she will at best grow out of as she get older . If not she will be better if does not get labeled unbalance or see you freaking out or is sent to psychiatrist. It is not a mental issue.
Good luck  Keep us posted.. Love on her be some she can trust and she will open up.

Yes, I guess it's a dangerous situation. I think you should  talk to her about that.

.Belly inflation (as you described it) is very dangerous.If she uses air,it can cause a rupture on the Colon Maximus(Large Intestine).If she uses water,it can also cause rupture,but also kidney damage and water poisoning(if not ingested properly).If she uses water and air,it can cause air mixing with blood(through the veins and capilars on the large intestine).And air mixing with blood leads to death.You need to explain her the dangers of this.My suggestion is to hide(or better throw away) the air pump,and control her intake of liquids.This is a dangerous fetish,only girls with experience and really strong stomach's do.I hope I helped a bit.
