Male Phantom Pregnancy

Could this be a case of telepathy between spouses? Something to consider when reading this interesting news article from the BBC. Here is a snippet:

Expectant fathers can suffer from pregnancy symptoms, UK research shows.

Morning sickness, cramps, back pain and swollen stomachs were all reported by men whose partners were pregnant.

Researchers at St George's University, London, who carried out the study of 282 Dads-to-be said the phenomenon was known as "Couvade syndrome".

Experts said it was not clear why some men had similar symptoms to their partners but it could be related to anxiety over the pregnancy.

With Father's Day just a few hours away I thought this would make for an interesting topic. What are your thoughts? And if you are a Dad that is reading this, did you go through anything similar?

Hmmm... how many beers did they have the night before? ;)

I think it's all nerve and anxiety issues. I don't think telepathy comes in to play here. I mean, it could but anxiety can bring about a whole bunch of weird sensations.

If hysteria can make your mind trick your body into having symptoms of a disease you don't have then I'm pretty sure anxiety can cause a man to have sympathy symptoms.
