Men with symptoms

Could it be true the men actually have your pregnancy symptoms as well?? My boyfriend now complains about nausea, heartburn, and fatigue now that I'm pregnant. I laugh at him but he takes it quite serious. Could it really be real?

Honestly I think they want the attention and don't want to be left out. My husband does it also but only around those that will give him sympathy.

My husband's mood swings are getting worst. And complained a lot about gaining weight and how he said hes gonna work out more and eat less carbs, sooo gay! Now he said he is getting sick. He has been sick twice since i got preggo. Well its better that he gets sick better than me, becoz i know pregnant women have low immunity...i dont wanna be taking addtional meds!

So funny!!  My husband lost it when I moved the qtips (nesting bug hit the bathtoom) and we got into this wicked hormonal fight!   He is more tired than I am and definitely feeding off of my mood swings for sure!  Plus, while I'm at home resting in these final weeks he's working and I feel bad that he won't be able to rest before the big show!  I am not the only one having a baby you know (his words!)!

My husband got almost all of my symptoms.  When I had heartburn and took tums at night, he would ask me for one too. Even in labor, his nose started bleeding! Lol This time around I told him I'm not going to tell him my symptoms so he doesn't get them again.

OMG my husband is driving me nuts! He gets all these unexplainable aches and pains in and around his stomach and is constantly complaining about how his stomach is upset or he has a really bad headache! I started joking around telling him he's pregnant too but now it's just really annoying because I feel like crap myself and we also have an almost 4 year daughter and everything is left for me to do because he doesn't feel good enough to get anything done most of the time! I'm 28 weeks pregnant and it's starting to get really hard for me to walk or bend over but I still manage to get things done (most days lol) meanwhile all I hear from him is complaint after complaint.

Yes! Very possible. My husband gets hormonal, has the same exact cravings as I do before I even say it and was nauseated and sleepy in the first few months!! I told him it's because we are pregnant! It's kinda nice not being the only one dealing with pregnancy issues! :-)

I think so, he's probably eating things that you are eating (because he sees you do it), and  your mood affects him in strange ways. It's crazy

Thats not even the worst of it, wait till he starts getting hormonal! Its a pain when you both are getting on eachothers nerves over something that wouldn't usually bother either of you!
