yeah it does suck when it pops.. but as Happy mentioned it is the best simulation i have found todate.
i might go about it a bit differently then you did so i will quickly run thru my method.
first i double up the punching ballons.. makes them alittle harder to fill but the double wall thickness of the balloon is well worth it. after that i will either put them in a garbage bag (even if they do pop they wont break the garbage bag) or if the belly/balloon is small enough i will wrap it in a thick towel (this also makes look alot smoother once its under some shape wear and held in place.)
another thing is tying them properly will ensure no leakage.. does get a bit wasteful having to toss them out after a while but i have made several sized bellies (3 6 and 9 month) and kept them for a week or 2 before i start to get worried about popping. having a wasted balloon or 2 is always better then a moldy mattress/carpet.
just another side note about the 2 balloons... when filling them up with water you can always make the inner most one smaller then the outter most and you will get a randomly moving fetus effect.. lets the inner one bounce and move around a bit with your own movement.
hope this helps
