May 17, 2009: Pregnant Dolls
Pink Tentacle posted pictures of these pregnant dolls from Japan's Edo period.

These apparently got a lot of use and were handled extensively, so considering their age, they must be made of wood and/or fired clay then painted.

I assume these were for demonstrating and explaining pregnancy to patients or medical students back in the days when male doctors didn't touch female patients much?

I'm not sure that Victorian era European standards are applicable in this case. Oriental customs of the time were very much different. But pregnant doll would save teachers at the medical faculty the trouble of hacking up 7 pregnant women every time they were to explain something about foetal development

It's hard to get a sense of scale, but I look at the first one and see a toy. Barbie once had a pregnant friend, but it got enough complaints (even though the character was "married," husband sold separately) that it was pulled from shelves.

As a child I had the "Visible Man" and the "Visible Woman", and the "Visible Woman" came with a pregnant belly, uterus, and fetus.

Considering the craftsmanship that went into these "dolls" I would think they would get all the mileage they could out of them.
Hey, maybe they lowered their health care costs by charging admission to the "sideshows" and using the money to make medical teaching aids.

One thing for sure. We're gonna need some type of liquid for the recipe, as there is no embryonic fluid.
