it's usually called a sympathetic pregnancy, it's when the dad feels emotional- just like the mom, has the same cravings and even feel sick. the Couvade Syndrome is very real

oh yeah! after all, we do all the hard work of carrying the child, and giving birth. it's only fair that they get sick instead of us. lucky you. i had what i called all-day sickness. screw the morning sickness, i had my head hanging over the toilet every 10 minutes like clockwork up until 4.5 months.
