Empathy Belly

So our Parent Support group in our base has this program called "The Empathy Belly". The programs consists of brave expecting fathers that volunteer to wear a fake pregnancy belly for 3 hours a day 2 to 5 days. Jared being a brave husband decided he wanted to give it a try.
This belly it is really cool, it has a band that it is really tight around your ribs so it is harder to breathe. The belly is filled with water and it has a little loose ball inside so you can simulate a baby moving. It was two heavy balls inside also and a heavy little bag that puts pressure on your bladder. The weight of the belly is about 30 pounds and Jared said it hurt his back a lot. He only had to wear it for 3 hours and he didnt do much while he was wearing it :).
