Donnie’s “morning sickness”
June 8th, 2007 by Donnie
I heard and some suggested that my latest stomach bug was my “sympathy pains” for Victoria. Some of you are reading this and are probably rolling your eyes thinking I have no clue what I am talking about. I will agree with that, but hear is some evidence…
In one of the magazines the nurse gave us today, it states the following:
“Some fathers-to-be are so engrossed in their partner’s pregnancy that for a while they experience similar symptoms, such as nausea or weight gain. This effect is so common that it has a name — couvade.”
So I am going on record now, my 10 lbs of weight gain is because of “couvade”; not because I am too lazy to go to the gym during the next 9 months. 😉
