My husband acts pregnant

medinamama34

I’m 6 weeks along and so far my husband seems to be more pregnant than I am. He’s throwing up, exhausted often, and is more scared than I am. So far, knock on wood, I’ve only noticed heavier boobs and peeing more often. Maybe it hasn’t kicked in yet but I’m feeling like my husband is stealing my pregnancy sympathy.

Maybe he’s sick?

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of pregnancy symptoms and sympathy to go around.

Found a t-shirt for you.

If my husband was exhausted and throwing up, I'd probably send him to the doctor.

This is a real condition called Couvade!! The partner experiences similar symptoms...almost as a subconscious sympathy. Isn't it crazy? I have just read about it in a couple of pregnancy books
