From the article: Sympathetic Pregnancy Symptoms in Dad
Sympathetic pregnancy symptoms, known as couvade syndrome, happen to those around you when you're pregnant. It can include gaining weight, morning sickness... any number of pregnancy symptoms. Did your man have any pregnancy symptoms? Did he gain weight while you did? Did his belly grow? Did he feel queasy? When did they go away? Did he keep them as long as you were pregnant?

Morning Sickness
- I'm 9 weeks pregnant and my loving husband is suffering from morning sicknesses whilst i have none. He gets very nauseus in the morning that he is unable to eat. He is always tiredand its a mission to get out of bed in the morning. Whilst @ work all he thinks of is sleep. The only thing that gives me a problem issore breats and I eat alot. I'm foreverr hungry.

All the same...
- My husband has been experiencing the same symptoms I have for over 2 months! Fatigue, head ache, nausea, the whole nine yards. I thought he was joking at first but nope, my symptoms genuinely affect him.

Nesting
- The only symptom my husband has had during my entire pregnancy is nesting. Since I am carrying twins, when I started the nesting period, there wasn't a lot physically that I could do - so my husband picked up the slack. He has been cleaning, straightening and organizing like a pregnancy woman. It makes me a little frustrated that I can only do so much, but my main responsibility is to continue the pregnancy and keep the twins in there as long as possible... we're doing good so far... I will be 36 weeks this Friday!!!

Sympathetic Morning Sickness
- When I was pregnant, my sweet husband once got morning sickness along with me!

Nauseous
- My fiance had a lot of nausea. I don't know if it was a product of seeing me sick or pregnancy symptoms.

Weight Gain
- My husband gained weight every time I was pregnant. Only about 10 lbs and he'd lose it right after the baby was born. In fact, he gained more than I did one pregnancy. It was really weird because his eating habits didn't really change.
