Couvade Syndrome has been recorded throughout history in numerous cultures around the world. Some experts believe they may be a ploy to get attention. Others believe they are expressions of the anxiety, stress and fear associated with impending fatherhood, feelings of ambivalence about fatherhood, pseudo-sibling rivalry, or identification with the fetus. While still others believe that Couvade Syndrome is a display of guilt for having impregnated a partner, an assertion of paternity, jealousy of the mother's ability to carry a child and her birth experience, or empathy with the mother's discomfort.
Luckily, my husband has not been displaying any of the symptoms...so I guess we're safe! :)
