Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Increased body temperature and perspiration
Mild fetal kicking “movements”
Postural changes of back and shift in center of gravity
Pregnant profile – enlarged breasts and abdomen
Pressure on bladder and other internal organs
Shortness of breath
Weight gain of 30-33 lbs.

Effects are simulated through the use of a rib belt and strategic positioning of various weighted components. This teaching model includes one main torso garment, two pregnant breast inserts, one rib belt, one vinyl belly bladder with 2-lb. weight, two 7-lb. insert weights, one 6-lb. bladder pouch, one maternity smock, one safety holding tray, one nylon tote carrying bag, an instructor’s training manual and DVD, and 30 informed consent release forms.
