Meet the DADS wearing 33-pound 'empathy bellies' to experience the pain of being nine months pregnant

Jason Bramley, Steve Hanson and Jonny Biggins are discovering exactly what it's like to have a baby on board by wearing pregnancy suits to honour mums in the run up to Mother's Day on Sunday, March 15. Read their funny experience:

Jason, 44, who is a father-of-one mused on day five: 'I wonder why pregnant women don't use wheelchairs.'

 

'I have a chair in the office with wheels and this is a blessing. I can glide effortlessly across the office to my desired destination.' 

 

'On day three I didn't sleep a wink, I just couldn't get settled,' said company director Steve, from Doncaster.  

 

'I tried to make a small city out of pillows around my bump. My boobs, which at first were quite a pleasurable novelty, soon became about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit,' he added.

 

'They were way too warm and hung on my arm, sending it to sleep and waking me at the same time.'

By day three the constant swinging motion of his belly forced Jonny, 45, from Surrey to visit his local pharmacy and seek medical help.

'I unzipped my jacket, exposing my belly and explaining my predicament to the woman behind the counter,' says Jonny, dad to Enzo, five, and Leo, one.

'I expected her to crack a smile or reel back in shock but she nodded professionally like she's seen it all before, opened a drawer and placed an elastic waist strap on the counter.
