DH anxiety?

So I'm 3 weeks from my due date and my poor husband keeps having these sick episodes like a bad headaches, belly ache, etc. I think he's anxious about the baby but maybe I'm crazy. Did anyone else have this with their husband? He's isn't sure if it's baby related or not but it's been going on for weeks now.

Re: DH anxiety?

  • My husband didn't have those symptoms, but I swear that during my pregnancy he complained about various aches and pains a million times more than I did. It was always something - his back, his shoulder, his elbow, his head, his stomach. I actually started to wonder if he subconsciously was worried that I wasn't going to be giving him as much attention after baby #2 arrived? Who knows. It does seem to have subsided since Connor was born, though. Of course, maybe he's just old and has a lot of aches and pains :) Are your husband's symptoms always the same or do the episodes vary a lot? If they are always similar I'd be more inclined to think there was something going on - either anxiety or something physically wrong. Anything seem to make him better? Have you asked him if he thinks they are anxiety-related? Poor guy. I don't have any good advice except that I hope he has a chair nearby during labor and delivery :)
