Any of your husbands exhibiting pregnancy brain symptoms? (funny)

Woke up from my morning nap to get round 2 of breakfast from the fridge, and realized that something was out of place... DH was the last one to have it (after working from 6am till after 9pm yesterday) so I know he's the one who put it there.

Think males get pregnancy brain as well? or was it just due to being over tired....

(If you're like me and cannot figure out what doesn't belong, it's the container of ice cream ... took me a few moments of staring at it thinking it doesn't belong before I cognitively realized it was ice cream in the fridge, not in the freezer & it was there since last night when DH put it away)

LOL its alright mine too I was making breakfast (husband asked for eggs bacon hashbrowns and toast) I am looking for the bread, which lives ontop of the fridge or in the bread box....I found it in the meat drawer in the fridge. And the other day i found the milk in the cubbord and the cereal in the fridge (needless to say we have new milk!) But i'm not sure if that was him or me haha

My husband hasn't had pregnancy brain, but he has other symptoms. Like weight gain. I haven't gained any weight, but he is steadily gaining weight and a while ago he was getting dressed for work and had a emotional breakdown because none of his pants fit anymore. LOL. He was so upset he almost cried. I keep teasing him about since he is never shows his emotions. lol

Oh thank you both, I think that will help DH feel a little better .... we just got FroYo for "lunch" today since we're now out of ice cream.

There is a book I read last year, "Understanding the female brain" - all about our hormones and how they influence us at various stages of our lives. Also talked about how during pregnancy of someone the male is close to, and being around a baby triggers hormonal changes in the males - just as you're describing, testosterone levels change in response to pheromones given off by the female, or some other unknown trigger ... the idea being that it's evolved over generations, and he'll be a better father in terms of being more attentive towards the child's needs, so the child is more likely to survive & pass along the genes that allow the brain to sense the changes, etc. The author has another book, "Understanding the male brain" .... if I find out my LO is a boy I'll be cracking it open.
