Simulated pregnancy
A simulated pregnancy is a deliberate attempt to create the false impression of pregnancy.[1][2][3][4]
It should not be confused with false pregnancy, where the woman mistakenly believes that she is pregnant.

Techniques
Women who wish to look pregnant, generally for social or psychological purposes, have the option of body suits and the like to wear under their clothes. It can be done by using pillows or pads, or light-weighing, small balls with a round shape to simulate a pregnant abdomen. A common practice is to place a form replicating a belly (rolled up clothes, deflated ball, etc) under a skin colored, tight bodysuit. This creates a realistic color and shape.
Reasons
- In women
The reasons for a woman to desire a simulated pregnancy vary greatly from one individual to another. It could be an intellectual curiosity on one end, a cosmetic effect or social experiment, or part of a larger psychological issue.
