Pregnancy Profile™
Vest. Pregnancy Profile™ is a wearable vest-like
garment that replicates the visual appearance
and actual feel of the third trimester of pregnancy. It simulates added pressure
on the bladder, restricted breathing, foetal movement, pressure of foetal limbs
and the effects of pregnancy weight gain such as more awkward movement and
stress on the lower back. By wearing the device and completing the curriculum,
teens not only learn about the effects of pregnancy but they are also able to
experience what it looks and feels like to be pregnant.
