Male phantom pregnancies

Hi ladies
I'm writing a report about male phantom pregnancies for the Daily Mail - I know I'm not allowed to place here but if you know about this then please look at my posting in the media section of the board.
Last week a study said the majority of men experience pregnancy symptoms ranging from food cravings to swollen stomachs when their partner is pregnant. Some even get false baby bumps! If this sounds like you or your partner please get in touch,
Many thanks
Natasha

My DP has cravings and now he has AWFUL back pain!!!
I was in bed sat night and woke up unable to move due to pain!! woke him to get him to help me turn but he could not help as his pain was worse.

I read about this in the Daily Mail last week. It made me laugh because I'm heavily pg with twins and have had a pretty rough pregnancy. My DH is always pretending to have "couvade" and goes on about his endless "symptoms" to anyone who'll listen. He's only being silly though and I have to say, he'd get very short shrift from me if he was seriously claiming to be suffering. I think the whole thing is ridiculous and unbelievable ...
