Feedback: Many partners experience physical symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,
and backache to the same degree or even more intensely than their partners during a
pregnancy; some begin to gain weight along with their partner. This is known as
couvade syndrome. As a woman's abdomen begins to grow, partners may perceive
themselves as growing larger too, as if they were the ones who were experiencing
changing boundaries the same as the pregnant woman. These symptoms apparently
result from stress, anxiety, and empathy for the pregnant woman. Men who identify with
their wife's pregnancy may act as if their abdomen is enlarging, the same as they may
take on nausea of pregnancy.
