sympathy symptoms???

So I've heard that your partner can have morninh sickness instead of you, cravings,etc. Is this true? Anyone else's hubby take your symptoms? I'm a ftm and I'm 7 weeks 2 days and aside from tender breast I honestly feel very normal but my other half is not so normal I'm wondering if he is just getting sick or picking up the symptoms I should have.

I'm 26w3d & my fiancé has just recently started getting cravings.. like, if he doesn't get what he wants he's AWFUL!!! he wanted a "taste" of popcorn the other night, and he ate the entire bag. he usually needs my help to finish a whole bag, but I haven't had a taste for popcorn since I got pregnant..

so I'd say yes.. I believe in sympathy symptoms! lol (((:

Lol I've asked this as well. My hubby says he's getting the symptoms. I feel fine most days, just breast tenderness and a little nausea without vomiting. Better him than me! Lol jk but it's funny how he "feels" the symptoms. Congrats!
