Wanna seat on the train? Pretend you're pregnant

A Beijing woman had allegedly been using a fake baby bump to get a seat on the train.

The woman has been branded a "disgrace" and "shameless" after she was caught in the act when the bump fell out.

The woman, named by local media as Zhang, told the Liyuan Industrial and Commercial Bureau the belt holding the silicon bump to her waist had come loose, leaving her "found out" and "mocked."

She is just one example of a growing trend in Chinese women who pretend to be pregnant.
