Men Fall Pregnant Too!
A look at the phenomenon known as Couvade Syndrome


An Historical Perspective

It's true! Men also get symptoms of pregnancy, anything from tooth ache and back pains to swollen bellies and birthing pains.

The name of this strange sounding phenomenon is "Couvade" and is derived from the French word 'Couver' which means 'To Hatch' in English.

Couvade comes in two forms. In one manifestation it is brought on by the expectant father through his own actions and is associated with a cultural ritual.

In the other form, symptoms arise in a psychosomatic manner (a physical disorder caused by emotional factors). This is the form that is usually found today in the western world and it is much more common than people think. As many as 80% of all expectant fathers will experience Couvade in some form or other.


Couvade in the Modern World

Couvade still exists, but in a different form.
Even though ritualistic Couvade has still been reported during the twentieth century, in the most part of the modern western world the practice no longer exists.

Having said that, the term 'Couvade' is applied in medical terms to the psychosomatic condition of sympathetic pregnancy. The man will suffer symptoms when no physiological basis exists.

The manifestation of the condition can vary widely. Anything from simple weight gain to back pains during pregnancy and stomach spasms during birth. As many as 80% of expectant fathers can experience Couvade in some form or other, although only a very few will display the more dramatic symptoms.


Symptoms of Couvade can include:
• Variations in appetite
• Weight Gain
• Nausea
• Insomnia
• Indigestion
• Diarrhea/Constipation
• Headaches
• Toothaches
• Mood swings
• Backache
• Itchy skin
• Food cravings
It seems that the symptoms are most profound during the third & fourth month then again just as the birth approaches. All symptoms seem to disappear after the birth.


The reasons for the manifestation of Couvade in modern man is of course poorly understood. Many theories exist for the onset of this psychosomatic condition, here are a few:
• A physical expression of anxiety over the birth.
• Sympathy/empathy with your partner.
• A form of pretend sibling rivalry where your partner becomes the sibling that you want to outdo.
• A method of identifying with the foetus.
• A display of guilt for having impregnated your partner.
• An assertion of paternity.
• Outward appearances of ambivalence towards fatherhood being counteracted by internal anxiety.
• Jealousy of the mother's ability to carry the child.
• Jealousy of the mother's birth experience.
As you can see, there are many alternative theories, so pick one that most suits your character.

The best way to fight Couvade is to firstly understand that it really does exist and that it is simply a basic human reaction to the pregnancy. The next thing to do is to try to understand why you are reacting in the way you are. Most men show only very mild symptoms, so unless you feel the baby kicking inside of you or you need pads for your leaking breast milk, then you don't really need to worry.

Couvade is becoming more common in the western world with the social changes that have taken place in the last thirty years that now allow the man to take a more active and caring role in pregnancy. The most common manifestation of Couvade is caused by the deep empathy that you have towards your partner and the changes that she is going through.

lucu ya bisa solider gitu

Iya Bun, nggak enak badan gitu dan sering bgt, tp kl ngidam aneh2 nggak siy...

hihihi....kalo akyu...semua yg ngidam ibunya,bapake hepi2 aza.....hehehe

aku pernah dengar juga soal ini sih...tp gak pernah ngalamin sendiri..

oooo...aku pikir ikutan ngidam yg aneh-aneh juga

ada yen...aku pikir gak banyak yg begitu, ternyata banyak juga
di milis yg aku ikut itu, ada beberapa yg kasih testimoni begitu
suaminya ngidam yg aneh2..dari yg gak demen pedes jadi demen
dari yg gak doyan ngemil jadi doyan..lucu2 deh..hihihi

nah..kalo mertuaku juga suka tuh ikutan ngidam...
kadang2...kalo dia mulai ngidam yg asem2..
dia langsung curiga..pasti ada salah satu anaknya atau mantunya yg sedang hamil..aneh juga ya..pdhal dia gak tahu kalo mereka lagi hamil

ya nggak gitu kan mbak...lah selama ini gimana emangnya mbak...hihihi...

berarti mbak ibu yg baik...:D

Bagus donk..jd sama-sama gak ada yg susah..hihhi

hihihi.. lucu ya, paling nggak, meski nggak ikut ngerasain sakitnya melahirkan, ikut partisipasi ngerasain nggak enaknya ngidam hehehe. suami solider tuh.. salut..

iya..lucu juga..sampe sodara iparku ngira kalo aku pake jampi aneh-aneh...hahaha
eh iya..ada juga lho yg sampe ikut ngerasain sakitnya melahirkan, jd istrinya sakit kontraksi, suaminya ikutan mules juga

iya mbak..untungnya..jd gak repot

ya mbak...bagi-bagi kesusahan..suami ikut merasakan...hihihi

Aku cuma mengutipkan aja sih mbak..
aku sendiri juga gak menganggap itu sebagai patokan
Gak mungkin lah hanya karena suaminya ikutan ngidam trus langsung dipatok sbg calon ayah yg baik... lantas yg gak ikutan ngidam dianggap sebaliknya..kog jadinya nanti banyak yg protes...
lagian kan patokannya bukan ikutan ngidam ato nggak..
tapi bagaimana nantinya si suami berperan dlm urusan kerumahtanggaan..
dalam perannya ikut mendidik anak-anak..dalam perannya sebagai ayah dan suami yg baik..

gak ngapa2in mbak...biasa aja...aku dah tulis di blog uneg2nya...hahaha
