Ok this is funny but my husband has been feeling nausea and tiredness since i got pregnant, sometimes more than me lol. Is this a real thing ya he is just dramatic? curious if anyone elses partner did this too.
It's so sweet when they feel things along with us, isn't it? My husband also said he felt more tired and sometimes felt weird food aversions. I think it's their way of connecting with the journey. It just shows how much they care.
Haha, my husband totally did! He used to complain about heartburn sometimes and got tired very easily, just like me. I used to tease him about it. It's quite common for husbands to feel some 'sympathy' symptoms. It's sweet to look back on it now with our toddler running around.
Well, medically, no. But many partners experience 'sympathy' symptoms, like feeling nauseous or gaining weight. If he's having any serious health concerns, he should see his own doctor, not assume it's pregnancy-related. And if it's food cravings, make sure they're healthy!
Actually, yes! It's a real phenomenon called Couvade Syndrome. My husband also felt super tired sometimes and had some strange cravings. It's psychological but very real for them. Your partner is just really involved!
While it's not a direct physiological sharing of symptoms like we experience, many partners do feel 'sympathetic' symptoms. It's more of a psychological response to being so involved. Just make sure he's not actually sick; if he's unwell, a doctor's visit is best, not assuming it's Couvade.
