I was wondering.... My husband was sick, like morning sickness, sick when I was carrying our first child. I thought it was funny 'cause I didn't get sick at all. Now I'm pregnant again and he's tired all the time and sick again. Does anyone know how this happens?

Here is what I found for you..............
Strange as it may sound, some men start to feel pregnant while their partner's expecting -- they even exhibit similar symptoms. The phenomenon is called Couvade Syndrome or "sympathetic pregnancy."

Yes everything that you experience it is very possible for your husband or significant other to experience the same things you are going through. Almost as if they were pregnant themselves. Your husband/other can gain the weight, have the back ache, feel nausea, etc. This is a good thing to some extent b/c it shows that you and your other are very close and that he wants to enjoy and experience this wonderful occasion with you to its fullest. kenziebuchanan@hotmail.com if you have anymore questions

I am not sure how this happens but it happened to my husband too! Not to be mean but at least they get a small taste of what we go through for 9 whole months!

i have heard of it happening. i think it may be possible. but then i also think some men are just upset they are no longer getting the same attention so they try to out do you in being more hormonal, more sick and more crampy. but that could be my hormones talking.
