Husband morning sickness?

Mary
I'm almost 12 weeks and I haven't really had any morning sickness just a few times of extreme nausea (I guess I got lucky). This is our first pregnancy and we just moved to a new house and finished school. For the past week he has been throwing up at least twice a day and/or dry heaving. We are going to a doctor today because there are no other symptoms. Someone mentioned today that this happened to her in her pregnancy and it's a sympathy sickness. Is that true?
