Your partner's sympathy symptoms

bunfactory · January 2016

Last night, my husband had a hot dog with mustard and an English muffin with peanut butter for dinner. On the same plate. Gross! I told him he was acting pregnant.

Has your partner had any weird sympathy symptoms?

Yes! My husband has been eating a lot more junk food here lately, he's feeling more fatigued (he's normally 900 miles an hour); I keep telling him I'm rubbing off on him lol it's sweet though, were in this together in more ways than one!

Well I have very little appetite so when I get a craving (icee, cheeseburger) he adds one on for himself too in addition to all his regular eating. So I have a feeling he will be gaining pregnancy weight along with me

Totally! Case in point, I'm downing clementines right now. On my 3rd one and my man is next to me, putting his hand out for me to share. No!! This isn't how it works, lol.

He got me a box of fruit popsicles last week and he keeps eating them. We are down to one. Anything I crave, he eats. His response, "the baby just has my taste buds, that's all."

Nope. He likes the food I'm eating, but he likes most foods. I really don't need us both getting huge so I'll be encouraging him to keep up his good eating and exercising.

I've been feeling worn down and tired lately but my mind keeps cranking out a to do list. Hubby must be in sync with my mind because I woke up to a spotless house this morning!! I remember him coming to bed at some point last night and saying that my nesting could stop any time now! Lol

He had a craving for mango juice on Friday so we joked that he's having sympathy cravings.

Yes!!!!!! It's very funny. The symptoms I hear him complaining about.... We joke all the time he sounds more pregnant than me!

I keep joking to my husband that he's having sympathy symptoms. He has put on a couple of pounds in the mid-section (he's a pretty tall/slim guy so any weight gain is noticeable). I haven't been eating normal meals, just eating small meals/snacks throughout the day, so on top of his regular-sized meals, he also partakes in snacks each time I have a small snack throughout the day and evening. It's pretty funny. He told me he should probably start doing that "hippy dippy yoga stuff" with me. Lol

My H wont stop sleeping and I am finding it pretty annoying. When I leave for work he's still sleeping, when I come home he's sleeping, I take a nap and I wake up and he's next to me sleeping. He goes to bed a lot later then me and I think that is part of the problem...

I've been super nauseous and vomiting. Hubby started getting those symptoms too. We both couldn't eat for days. Although his was probably a stomach virus, it's still going on a bit after a week. We just say it's all sympathy sickness for me. Haha.
