CAMP ZAMA, Japan – The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.
This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.
Army enlisted leaders all over the world are being ordered to take the Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Exercise Leaders Course, or PPPT, according to U.S. Army Medical Activity Japan health promotion educator Jana York.
Wow,just wow.

When we were attending prenatal classes to get ready for our first child, part of the course included having the men wear those pregnancy simulators. They seemed, at least as they were used in the course we attended, to be aimed more at humiliating men than at teaching us anything we needed to know. We’d already talked at length about how pregnancy made even the simplest tasks more difficult for a woman. – Getting up from a low couch, pressure on your bladder, extra weight – all more difficult when you’re pregant. Got it. I refused to wear the simulator.
I’m curious – do female fitness instructors who aren’t pregnant have to wear them too?
