Many men get the symptoms while their pregnant SO doesn't. I wouldn't recommend ignoring it. It eould be like them ignoring our symptoms. The plus side is they ate able to take & do things we aren't. If he's lacking energy make him coffee or maybe other energy boosters. If he's getting upset stomach or nausea, guve him some Pepto. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion though he's doing it for attention.

My husband has been the exact same way. He gained weight before I started, he got the nausea the 1st trimester with me, and now he's had heartburn after he heard I might start experiencing it soon. Lol he calls it my voodoo. Luckily he's great about laughing it off

I don't mean ignoring HIM.  I mean ignoring the complaints or his acting like he is the pregnant one.

I would try ignoring him.  Don't comment on it.  Should resolve when he finds himself getting behind in the things he has to do.  Sure he isn't coming down with something?  :>)  anyway, just do you and let him worry about him.  good luck
