THis is a strange thing, my wife is pregnant and she is starting to gain weight, crave food, that morning sickness thing. It's very odd, but I am doing the exact same thing. Vomiting every morning, gaining a lot of weight(I am a very healthy man who exercises daily, eats right, and cuts my tv time, doesnt drink beer, and doesnt sit around all day) and I am growing boobs. It's a scary thing knowing you have man boobs. Does any of you know what this means?

When my wife had her first kif I went through the same thing so I ask my Doctor and he said that some times the male feels the same symptoms as the woman it dosent happend very often but it happens so dont worry is nothing bad.

You guys are soul mates and its sympathy pain...jk...I also read that the pheromones that are being released can effect the male also. Those are also the symptoms that occur when a man stops taking steroids. You should probably see a doctor and get some type of hormone balancing treatment

It's called "Sympathy Symptoms". Your body is reacting to your ineterpretation of her health. It happens to many men when their wives are pregnant. Talk to the OB/GYN about it for more info.
Unfortunately it looks like you're going to be right there with her when labor comes (sympathy pains). Though don't for a second beleieve your pain is anywhere comparable to hers.

i had a friend whos boyfriend did the same thing when she was pregnant. i have heard of a few cases where the man also gets the same symptoms from the pregnancy as the woman. it should go away soon. Good luck!

I heard of this happening to men with a pregnant wife...Its called Couvade syndrome or sympathy pregnancy.

It's called sympathetic pregnancy. Some men get it. You might need counseling if it is getting to the point where your hormones have changed that much.
Are you taking steroids?

your just having sympathy pains. The next time your wife goes to the doctor, go w/her and ask about it.

It could be that psychologically you are thinking about your wife having a bay so much you think you're experiencing it itself and start seeing the symptoms.
