male symptoms

Is it possible for the man to get pregnancy symptoms too? Im wondering because I'm 6wks pregnant and for the past week I have woken up around 3am puking.  This morning I woke up really nauseous before realizing my husband was in the bathroom throwing up.  Im wondering if its man morning sickness or if he has food poisoning.

Thanks everyone! He has been sleeping a lot and complaining about heart burn but I just thought it was something he ate or working a bunch.  I read it usually happens to couples that are around each other all the time.  I'm glad im not the only one though!

My mom knew this lady who had 4 kids. And her husband would complain of horrible back pain, like he was having back labor, every time she was pregnant. As soon as she had the baby, his back pain magically disappeared, lol.

Its highly possible. A lot of men have whats called a sympathetic pregnancy where they get the symptoms as well as or instead of the mama. Some men even get the horomonal mood swings too. Not every man but a lot do
