Since I got pregnant my partner has got fatter?

Question

He says its sympathy weight
He has put on like 10 pounds since I got pregnant and I don't know why because he hasnt been eating extra, I eat most of my food when he is at work.
Anyone else had this with their husbands?

Answer 1

i thought i was the only one with a fella that seems to be growing faster than i am!!!! lol im 4months pregnant with a good bump and he,,, well he looks almost ready to drop and all my friends and his have noticed and are ragging him for it!!!
ppl say it a sign that u having a boy!!!!! lets hope that one not true cos i want a girl again ;-)

Answer 2

Mine did the same thing, he gained about 10 lbs. They say if you're having a boy this is more likely to happen (though i don't buy that...even though we're having a boy).
You know how women who live together get their periods at the same time? I think men can also be susceptible to hormone changes, hence the sympathy weight.

Answer 3

My hisband gain 30 lbs. when I was pregnant with our first son. He ate more during the day when we were not with eachother and I worked nights so I would find the occasional bowl of cereal left next to the nightstand when I got home. Don't worry about it, I always thought maybe it was he was nervous with you being pregnant and he didnt know how to deal with it? Hoped this has helped!
Congrats with the new addition!

Answer 5

Mine has too, although it's my fault because I make us much bigger dinners than I used to and allow some sweets in the house.
He's going to be in for a shock once I've had the baby and the careful eating and exercise starts again!

Answer 6

I went through the same thing with my ex 15 years ago with my first child. He gained about 10 lbs. And now with my 4th baby my boyfriend has already gained 14 lbs! And I am not due till September! (This might get ugly...lol)

Answer 7

I gained 22 pounds with my last baby and my husband gained 40! Hell yes, it happens!! He lost his baby weight about 6 months after the baby was born.

Answer 8

Ahhhhhhh sympathy weight!!!

My husband is gaining right along with me!! :)

I think it's because I indulge in more foods than before...cravings for all kinds of things hit me and he's the one going with me to the restaurants, bakeries, and late night grocery trips...he usually gets something for himself or eats what I get (which normally isn't healthy!).

Answer 9

Smpathy pains, possible! Or he has just been eating the wrong things, I lost 20 when my wife was pregnant.

Answer 10

mine has but thas because he thinks he can eat off whatever i eat. i told him he cant. literally whenever something goes into my mouth he tries to eat off it. And he doesnt know why hes overweight!

also we used to DO a lot more. we didnt like to sit in the house we were always going out. now im so tired all we do is lay in bed. maybe that has something to do in your case.
