I have read several books, like 'The Expectant Father,' and am beginning to believe this is real. I have been experiencing a lot of naseau. My fiance is almost 11 weeks along. She experiences a lot of naseau as the day goes on. I can eat and feel as though I haven't eaten as soon as I'm done. Or I can eat a very small amount and feel as though I'm going to throw-up. Is there anything I can do to help alleviate this. This is going to be my first child, my fiance's second. I'm involved in every step of the process thus far and am, maybe overly excited. I've been wanting children for the last ten years. Any advice would be appreciated.

From a hormonal point of view, I think couvade syndrome seems perfectly explainable. When women are around each other all the time they become hormonally in-synch with each other, and start to have the same menstrual cycle. The same must be similar with a man, as his hormones synchronise with that of his partner's, and during pregnancy they start to share the same hormonal experiences. It makes perfect sense to me.
Mimi,
That sounds a bit dodgy to me! It IS called 'sympathetic' pregnancy, after all.

Hi -
I'm researching Couvades (sympathetic pregnancy) for a TV documentary in the UK.
The reports I've read suggest that this is REALLY common- up to 80% of dad's to be experience some of the same symptoms as their pregnant wife.
I'd love to know if this is somthing that ring true with the dads-to-be on here? Have you experienced any strange aches and pains? Morning sickness?
I'd also love to hear from anyone who happens to be researching this themselves? I can be emailed on daniel.hood@target-tv.c o m
Thanks
