Isn’t there a huge difference between a woman slowly adding on 25 pounds of baby during her 9 month pregnancy as she and her body adapts and adjusts, and some guy jumping up and suddenly strapping on a 25 pound fake apparatus and finding out it affects him?

To me it seems like they are not very similar at all.

yes, the woman’s body slowly increases to the baby’s size, so it’s not like strapping on 25 pounds.

But there are a lot of other differences.

The guys are probably six foot and 200 lb, so 25 pounds isn’t a big deal. For a 5 foot 4 lady weighing 110 pounds, it could be.

but it’s not just the weight: The baby is INSIDE, so your intestines get pushed around (constipation, heartburn) and your diaphragms go up (you can’t breathe as deeply) and of course your heart has to pump extra blood to the kid (which your heart doesn’t have to do when you wear a weight).

And then you have the swollen legs (from the baby sitting on your lower vena cava) and the ligaments stretch (so your joints get wobbly).

So yes, this is bogus.
