IS YOUR DH, DF, OR BF HAVING SYMPATHY PAINS???

[Kamyrn2009]

I actually find this topic pretty funny! My DH "claims" to be having sympathy pains because I'm pregnant. Not that I don't believe him, I just think it's a mind thing. I don't know much about the "scientific side" of it but I think it's a little funny. Not to be insensitive, but DH comes in the room, like "I just threw up" but all I can do is roll my eyes. I tell him, "you'll never know a woman's pain" (jokingly of course) Am i being too insensitive? (maybe it's the horomones) Or maybe its just because I don't really believe it exists... What's your take on this???

  What does DH and DF stand for.... I am clueless... My husband hasn't mentioned any symptoms...
   I get very tired after eating... but I feel tired almost all the time sooooo maybe I can't really answer that question!

I read that studies show when a man lives with a pregnant partner, his testosterone takes a dip and he actually experiences a rise in estrogen. In fairness...rises in estrogen are one of the things we're sensitive to that make us sick...so it makes sense that they'd get sick too.

But..for some stuff..i think it is mental. DH doesn't puke but I swear if I hear him tell me how "exhausted" he is one more time, I'm going to poke his eyeballs out! He has NO IDEA!!! I feel like someone slipped me a roofie I"m so tired!!!

Question: Do you all experience a sudden wave of extreme fatigue almost immediately after eating??
