i feel like my boyfriend is just a trip some times. He will be ok one minute and mad the next. is this just a normal thing or does this have something to do with me being pregnant. i have heard that men can get symptoms.

if he loves you he will usually feel what are called sympathy pains. he will start suffering the same things he knows you are suffering because he loves you and feels sorry for you, and his mind will make him start feeling the same way. you being preggo may stress him out, and stress will easily cause a guy to be moody.

Yes, it's called sympathy pain. I hear they can have a real host of typical pregnancy symptoms, but lucky buggers still manage to avoid the delivery :/
It could also be more simple, he may just be feeling the stress that most soon-to-be parents experience. The impending responsibility and fear of not doing well can send some Dad's running, or at least stressing over it. Try to talk to him, when he's not PMSing, about how he's feeling about the baby coming. Let him know that it's OK if he's scared or stressed, and that you want him to talk to you about it, so it doesn't become overwhelming for him. Show him you love him and are sensitive to his feelings.
When we become pregnant the world sure seems to revolve around us in a way it never did before. So many are concerned and offer supportive thoughts and chats about what's to come. Guys don't get this kind of support usually, BUT THEY NEED IT TOO.
Also, when we're pregnant we can become a bit mercurial. That can really grate after months and months of them feeling like they're walking on egg shells with us. Try to be the loving friend he married and see his side of the pregnancy and it's emotional impact. If he sees you care as much for him as he's caring for you, he'll probably be a lot more stable.
GL and CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!

An old wives tale is that if your husband gains weight along with you during your pregnancy, then you are having a girl. Thats the only symptom Ive heard of though. But personally, I'm sure your boyfriend is acting like that because either he is jealous with all the attention your are getting OR like my husband, he's got attitude because "the pregnant lady" has attitude. Us as pregnant women, I don't think we understand just how "out of control" our hormones really are. If I were in my hubbys shoes, Id have attitude with me too. I'm happy-go-lucky one minute, crying for "not fitting into my favorite shirt" the next and then Im screaming my head off at anyone who even looks my direction. LOL... but if you're really concerned with the way he's acting then perhaps you should bring it up to his attention. You two created a child together... try to keep the lines of communication open. Best of luck & Congrats!

Many men do supposedly experience "sympathetic" mood swings and other symptoms. But since there is no physical change occuring within them, there is no physical basis for this. Unless, of course, YOUR mood swings or the emotional stress of your being pregnant are causing him to have a loss of sleep or other emotional reaction.

All I can say is the father of my baby had the same symptoms as me. I did not like it, I hated it. Every time I said something like ohhh my back hurts ohhh I feel so sick. He turned around and would say the same thing. I could not even complain about being pregnant. I told him he should be the one pregnant not me. Than he had the nerves to say to his grandma I can't wait until I have the baby. I looked at him and said WHAT!!!!!

My wife and I just found out we are having a baby, and as a man, i can say that yes we are feeling some things!! I am realizing that I'm going to be responsible for the life and well being of another person, I myself can't help being emotional about it all, its the end of one era of my life and the beginning of a comletely new one. All the questions about being a parent (a good one) are running through my mind. There is soooo much to get ready for the baby's arrival!!!! Don't ask him point blank about his emotions on this, be circumspect with your conversations about the arrival of the baby, he will talk and express his thoughts on things if you approach him the right way. Good LUCK!!!

Called Sympathy symptoms. You being pregnant only affect the guy psychologically.

well yeah. i mean they stress out bcuz ur pregnant. its not only a big deal for you .but for him aswell. I mean think about it, he has to try to comfort and b there for u..which isnt always the easiest thing to do when a woman is pregnant and hormonal and moody.SOmetimes they really feel left out because they arent physcially going through it, and lets face it, sometimes they just can't help you, even tho they may want too, and that irritates them too.
On top of that hes stressing out about being a daddy. Guys are stressed out about being good dads, they want to not mess up their kids as much a women want to raise them right.
