Dads with pregnancy symptoms!?

Question

Hi Ladies! So I am officially 8 weeks pregnant & the only pregnant symptom I've experienced is fatigue & tender breast (thank God! Lol) However, my fiancé has been feeling bloated, is gassy, experiences fatigue & vomits!😳 We have been eating the same things & I feel perfectly fine but certain smells & food textures makes him nauseous. Has anyone else's spouse been having pregnancy symptoms? It's called "couvade syndrome" when the dad has pregnancy symptoms but this is so odd. 🤔 Please share your stories if you've experienced this. Thanks!

Answer

My husband seemed to have extra fatigue when I did, and headaches even when I didn't. I think he has sympathy nail growth because his nails are growing extra fast and strong like mine! He also has sympathy cravings. One time I stayed home while he went to the store, and on TV I saw a cupcake with cream cheese frosting. I thought cream cheese or cheesecake would be delicious! Without telling my husband, he brought home a cheesecake. I told him about my craving, and he said, "I think I felt that because I was walking through the aisles, and all of a sudden I really wanted cheesecake!"

Answer

Supposedly when you jump over your husband, he ends up with the pregnancy symptoms.  But don't let him jump over you, then you'll have double the symptoms.

Obviously this is an old wives tale ... But I thought it was true with my last pregnancy.  LOL ... 😂😂😂

Answer

Same here. This will be my husband first child ( he plans to adopt my daughter, but biologically this is his first child) and he gets the morning sickness, cravings, and fatigue. He works out as a hobby, so he was always a big eater. It's funny to see him craving foods though. I had a craving for ice cream and ate a little bit and put it away, the next day I wanted a little more and it was gone. He said "oh I was craving ice cream so I ate all of yours. Sorry!"
