I know men do (Couvade Syndrome) but I was wondering if women can... I've been having a few pregnancy symptoms lately, with my mum being pregnant, and I'm not sure if I'm actually sick or if it's a sympathy thing.
Please note, it is impossible for me to actually be pregnant myself, as I have not had sex in close to two years.
A couple of symptoms I've had include tender breasts, morning nausea, cravings and some loss of appetite.

Yup it sure is. Especially with women who hang out a lot together. It's kind of like the whole menstrual cycle shifting thing. If you are around a bunch of women regularly your cycles will all shift to the same time. If you live with your mom then definitely. You're with her a lot I'm sure and you can experience the same hormonal shift as she does. You're obviously not going to really be pregnant, but you'll sure act like it.
Another possibility is that your cycle is changing. It could be shifting back to it's original week now that your mom is pregnant. All those symptoms can happen during PMS as well as pregnancy. If things don't improve, or get progressively worse, then see your doctor and tell them about your concerns. Congrats to you and your mom, you get to be a big sister!! =)
