Caption text:

I looked down at my protruding belly and sighed. I felt ridiculous. But the smile on my girlfriend's face made up for it.

She had insisted that I had to understand what it was like to be pregnant, so I agreed to give it a try. She strapped this "empathy" contraption around my waist, and I immediately felt its weight bearing it down on me as the fake belly settled in place.

I felt silly, a guy wandering around the apartment in a rubber suit and an oversized maternity dress, pretending to be pregnant. I had to admit to her, though, that it was a bit difficult to move around with my new weight and shape.

But as the days went by, the strangest thing happened. The more I wore it, the more I enjoyed it: the weight on the belly that reminded me constantly of its presence, the way it shifted my center of gravity, or the way it made my clothes tighter. I loved the way it made me feel inside. I even started to get food cravings! Soon, I was having the same symptoms as my girlfriend, like fatigue, mood swings, or morning sickness, which was both weird and amazing. It really helped me understand on a much deeper level what she was going through.

When I finally realized that the belly was no longer fake and that my body was changing along with it, I couldn't care less. After I felt the first kick of the baby inside me, I was just overjoyed, and so was my girlfriend, as she was delighted about the bond and the journey we now shared.

When time came to give birth, we did it together. I was right by her side feeling everything she was going through. The joy, the love, the pain, the fear, it was all there. We both pushed and cried and screamed, holding our hands together.
I felt a sense of pride as we held our babies in our arms, grateful to have each other every step of the way into our motherhood.
