The subject “Pregnancy Profile Vest” is an outer-garment composed of woven fabric. The front of the chest is completely covered. The back of the vest is secured by three adjustable belts. The padded shoulder straps are also adjustable and are secured by Velcro™. The shoulder straps hold the vest in place order to allow the wearer to sit, stand, lie down, walk, and experience a range of motion as a pregnant woman might. The vest is designed to be worn by adults and teenagers of both sexes. The vest has four design features that are intended to mimic the physical changes to a woman’s body during pregnancy. In the interior front chest area, there are two cut-out compartments for plastic foam breast inserts. The abdomen area of the vest features a zippered space to insert additional weight and there is a separate “adjustable rib constrictor” which contains weighted balls; it is designed to allow the wearer to experience shallow breath and fetal limb pressure. In addition, a refillable water bladder bag with suspended weight demonstrates mild fetal movement and weight gain. When these components are utilized together, the complete vest weight is approximately the same as the average weight a typical woman might gain in the course of her pregnancy.
