Almost a quarter of men experience the pregnancy of their beloved woman as their own, scientists say.
They are worried about morning sickness, and also there are changes in gastronomic predilections. Why is this happening?
According to experts, 23% of the stronger sex experienced emotional and even physical changes in their body during the pregnancy partner. In men, all symptoms of toxicosis are observed (nausea, headache, abdominal pain). Sometimes the future fathers even want some of the unusual products for themselves.
Thus, 26% of men complain of mood swings, 10% - on the appearance of a desire to eat a strange dish, 6% - for nausea. A medical examination of the representatives of the stronger sex proved that these symptoms were not associated with any diseases.
What is the reason for this phenomenon? In the opinion of scientists, the development of this condition is facilitated by attending training sessions for childbirth and joint visits to ultrasound.
