Governors tried pregnancy vestsSourced
Three Japanese governors went to work wearing weighted pregnancy vests.
In 2016, the governors of Saga, Miyazaki and Yamaguchi wore vests weighing about 7.3 kilograms as part of a campaign encouraging men to take on more household work and childcare.
A physical exercise made domestic responsibilities harder to ignore.
