yes well we all know that they cabt actually have the "real"symptoms :) but as we have all said they can have sympathy symptoms  and alot of the time this happens to them when our partners are ïn tune"with us, also something esle to be aware of... partners can and do get post natal depression, this is a proven medical fact, so ladies do be on the l;ook out for this in your partner as it is just as serious in the men as it is in us :)

Its only cuz our husbands r more on their own while we r pregnant.. They eat without watching wat they r eating n also just to encourage us to eat they eat infront of us more.. As for backache n nausea symptoms i guess its just the sympathy feelings they get.. Same like we see someone throwing up n we start feeling sick too ;)

Men do not have 'pregnancy' symptoms because symptoms are caused due to the hCG hormone. They only thing they have is symphathy symptoms. These are in the mind only and happen because their partner is going through it.

Men dont inherit food cravings or hunger from pregnant wife or girlfrnd.. So its just an old wives tale i guess.. :)
n as for question if i saw the worms.. No i didnt but he saw them in his poop.. He was calling me inside to show but i felt disgusted lol..

That is true!!! The technical name of it is couvade syndrome aka the sympathy pregnancy where ur significant other can actually have something of a mock pregnancy! I researched it because my DF sleeps a lot more and eats like crazy!!! Lol

yeah most people don't even know they one until it gets to be a serious problem. I'd go to the doctor for it. It could be any number of things so just ask the doctor.
