Back on 23. March of this year Anne Willis wrote:
"Was it on this list, or somewhere else that I read someone pondering just why Mary was always portrayed with such a flat stomach." One hopes that the ponderer's "always" was intended as hyperbole. The images linked to above that show Mary with child (to say nothing of others like them) make it difficult to credit anyone who would assert literally that Mary was never so portrayed.

It was kept by the Order of Friars Minor before 1263 when Saint Bonaventure recommended it and the Franciscan chapter adopted it, and the Franciscan Breviary spread it to many churches. In 1389 Pope Urban VI, hoping thereby to obtain an end to the Great Western Schism, inserted it in the Roman Calendar, for celebration on 2 July.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitation_%28Christianity%29)
