  So, let me get this straight. Is this going to be a gift? How long is he going to wear it for? I imagine they're really expensive...the ones that actually replicate the pregnancy. I'm intruiged by this one...

  I have a feeling that just a belly will give him no idea what pregnancy is like for some, just the added weight. If your goal is to make him feel contractions, you may want to get an electric stimulation machine and attach it to his abdomen area. This machine has a few attaching pads and sends electric currents into the body. It, then, tightens those muscles like a contraction. You can start with low, then, move up to pretty high. Me and my husband have definitely had our fair share of chicken with it. LoL.
  
  As a bonus, when used correctly, this machine is awesome when it comes to pain relief in your muscles, especially feet! I have not researched if it's for pregnancy, so I suggest exercising due diligence on this one.
  
  They start at about $100.
  
  Have fun!

  People actually do this? I have no desire to find out what it feels like to be kicked in the nuts, so I can't imagine doing any of the mentioned "ideas" to DH.

  It's been done on many news and talk show channels. Watch it on YouTube, it's pretty funny. Google labor pain stimulator.

  Wouldn't a case of beer be cheaper?

  Yep, why not duct tape a 24 pack on him. Haha.

  @Yeritzi‌ Has your husband done or said something to you that indicated a lack of empathy or understanding? And if so, have you tried having a frank conversation about how you're feeling and what you need to feel supported by him? Maybe just me, but I think that would be more productive than strapping a weighted fat suit on him, which most people would find more funny or awkward than meaningful.

  For the low, low price of $900, you can purchase a realistic fake belly at moon bump.com I'm not saying it's the one Beyoncé used, but it could be.
  
  Alternatively, you could find other ways of immasculating your husband such as making him carry your purse, or taking him to a matinee rom com.

  LOL! I could see wanting to do this. But seriously, I feel like after the hormones die down once baby is born, you will look at the fake bump and wonder why you spent that money on something so temporary.

  You know, the more I think about it, the more I think you really don't need to do this. Yes, it sucks that we carry around this added weight, feel wretched at least 2/3 of the time and wind up going through the birth process to push a baby out BUT we also:

  
  

  1. Have the pleasure of having our little one inside all to ourselves until they enter the world.

  2. Have a connection that seriously makes our DHs jealous 

  3. Are the ones who get to share that bonding moment with our babies while BF'ing

  
  

  It was weird for me when I was pregnant with my DD. I talked to her all the time and sung to her when I was in the shower. Yes, I was hella uncomfortable. But I wouldn't trade it for anything... Now when I look at her (she's 5), I can't believe she was my little baby back then. I think our DHs are missing out on bad things, but they're also missing out on the completely awesome things as well.

  Thanks everyone for ur responses. Some of them made me think n yes he is getting enough with my mood swings and actually does a lot of the house work that I can't do. I guess that's enough for now. And I know a lot more work is waiting for after the c-section. Oh and some replies just took it too far. Everyone thinks differently.

  When I went to try maternity clothes on they had a fake belly in the change room, so I tried it on and popped out and surprised my husband for a laugh. I did not think, based on the title, that I would be reading what I did.
  
  The gifs were good though!

  Yeah this. But also, with DD I put on like, 40lbs (almost entirely belly) so maybe you could just make him carry some festive Christmas hams under his shirt lol
  
  At the same time, it would be oddly satisfying to force DH to try being pregnant for a while.

  Took what too far?  Explain please.
  

  I'm hoping that was aimed at the "electroshock therapy" suggestion. A little too "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" for me. That was also, too far in my mind. lolz.

  My husband got the machine for his neuropathy pain and we happen to be very curious and playful together. Also, I've seen it done on many, many shows. (We tend to ignore the "do not try this at home" warnings. Ooooo, bad us) Playful and curious is something every couple should have in their relationship. If that makes me crazy, so be it. However, we are mucho happy!
