Anyone is heard of sympathy sickness?

Anyone ever heard of sympathy sickness? I think my Hubby is experiencing it.

I've heard it of, but unless a pregnancy is comfirmed I don't believe it.

Absolutely. I know several men who will swear it's real, and an equal number of women who swear it's bogus. I think it's been proven that in some cases it is an actual psychosomatic manifestation and can actually affect the man....but I never believed it when my husband said he was queasy when I was pregnant. Or maybe it was just that I didn't particularly care because I was heaving my guts up and he was complaining about "a little nausea", LOL.

But yes I've heard of it....real? I'm not entirely convinced. I think it's more because the men are so focused on us and what's happening with us that their reactions are heightened and they end up thinking that they're feeling what we do because they're so connected as a result of how worried they are....

I don't know none of that probably made sense, LOL - I haven't been sleeping well recently so I apologize for the babble.

Yes.  Many of my friends husbands experienced it and I think my DH is too (at times).  lol.
