Couvade syndrome, also known as sympathetic pregnancy or pregnancy empathy syndrome, is a condition in which a man experiences physical and psychological symptoms similar to those of pregnancy. These symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, food cravings, weight gain, changes in mood, and back pain. Couvade syndrome is thought to be caused by a combination of hormonal and psychological factors. It is usually harmless and resolves after the woman gives birth.
