Do the men really get "sympathy pains"

me and my babys father have been fighting. but earlier he texted me finally and said i can't stop throwing up and I'm so dizzy. my mom says its sympathy pains. I don't believe in that but has this happened to your guys? or other people?

Haha!  Too funny,  my husband gets my "weird cravings"  or foods he doesn't normally eat!  He's a bodybuilder,  he eats completely healthy!  Since I have been pregnant,  he's eating junk food,  fatty foods and drinking so much soda!  He was a water person, not anymore!  He gets soooo nauseous,  has headaches,  and is a moody little thing! He also gets the weird taste in my mouth!  I can't help but laugh a him! (:

This is my second child and her daddy gets everything, to my,pregnancy weight which i love because with my first daughter i gained like 35lbs with this little one I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow and only gained 4 pounds and he has,gained the fat face, a gut, some meat everywhere and he hates it. He also have the outrageous cravings like peanut butter,with all types of crap, and then he gets my fatigueness,  he's always sleepy even when he knows he's well rested.. So eyes it does exist.
