Speaker 1 (00:10):
My Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the Free I hard We've got potential science here, guys.
All I'm saying is I'm not saying that I've taken
on many of my pregnant wife symptoms. But last week
we had the whole week together, excuse me, and I
had really congested sinuses through the whole week. Right, Mim
(00:33):
has been struggling with blocked sinuses all through pregnancy. There's
a thing called pregnancy ryan Idis, which means you're not
seeking out of a cold or flu. It is just
a symptom of pregnancy that your nasal cavity gets blocked, right.
And I was like, hang on a second, I've got
that now, exactly the same as you. And then all
of a sudden we both well, she was going to
the Cairo for lower back pain, and I was like,
I wouldn't mind coming along, So I've got this back
(00:54):
pain as well. And as we were describing it to
the Cairo, who were describing the same thing.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And I think you're an idiot, Helen, Geez, Helen, Helen,
did you were you the partner of someone pregnant or
was your partner the one who experienced symptoms.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was pregnant and my husband was having a hard time.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Really, because even if this does exist, there's a reason
the only women have called a dobbin there.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
But Helen, were you?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Was there any sympathy from you?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
No, because it meant that he cooked the meal. But
the trouble is when he cooked the meat, he couldn't
stand it and was, yeah, vomiting.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Oh he was. He was getting sick in the guns
like doing the vomiting.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Actually yeah, and he was really brendant the labor. But
it was all right because.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Had the tense machines dropped on.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Did here your partner's twenty five weeks pregnant?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Yeah, you feeling only twenty five weeks feeling it?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Big fell You're feeling it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
She's actually got a high premises cravadom, so it's like
it's like an excessive morning sickness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
I'm noticing myself even this year, I've had an extremely
bad cold and flu season at the same time that
she's been pregnant. I've been hospitalized myself with ivy fluids
and things like that as well.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I want to make it very clear, Mark, because I'm
sure you're the same as me. We're not asking for
sympathy here. What we're going through is not as bad
as the woman who is pregnant. But I think it's
pretty interesting to go, is it actually possible that you
are taking on some of the symptoms? And I think
the right person to answer that question from a scientific
perspective will.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I know the way you're trying to make me look
are you're coming for me?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
But we've got doctor Lynn Burmeister here, who is a
medical director and fertility specialist.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Now, Lynn, is this a situation.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Of everyone have a big laugh at all the people
who have just called is no?
Speaker 7 (02:55):
In fact, you're correct. Woody effects about thirty to fifty
percent of expectant partners, and it's actually got a name.
It's called Kubard syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy. That means you're
feeling sympathetic to your partner being pregnant, and so you
start getting hormonal and emotional changes just like your partner.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Oh my god, I cried during Top down maverage.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Here was the seventh time I've watched it, and I've
never cried in it. And that final scene where Tom
Cruise says to Miles, tell a good job.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I'm proud of you. Gone, yeah, so what.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But so it's just because you're feeling sympathetic to your
pregnant partner.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Yeah, so it's actually a nice thing. You've got deep
empathy and you've got a deep emotional connection with your
partner and what she's going through. It's associated with nausea, fatigue,
food cravings, even weight gain, low testosterone, backache, block sinuses.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Yeah, sign it the sinuses.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, look all my wit has gone up a little
bit as well for bringing that up.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
With it is actually a thing.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
So thirty to fifty percent of partners suffered from it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
That is PHENOMENALLYNN Like I get it on the on
the emotional sense, I fully get that, and I can
even even with like back pain maybe there, I'm sure
there's perceived pain.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
But what he has blocked sinuses.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
We believe it's psychosomatic. So it's sort of like means
the mind and the body are reacting in sync with
emotional changes to their partner being pregnant.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So what is producing mucus knowing that his partner is
also producing.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So we spent we had a week off work last week.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Will and I so I spent the entire week with
Mim last week and that's when all this really kicked up.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Does that make sense as well?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Yeah, because you're sort of being sympathetic towards her and
you're starting to get back pain like she's getting towards
the end of the pressure spent.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So is the solution that just can't help her? Now?
Maybe you need to go to You're going.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
To look after her more than she looks after.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
You, So can I ask you would?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So when with the sinus pain you're in bed for
three days? Is here? It was a tough week, a
toughic for you.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But no, no, no, no, no, because I was like it was
the same rules for me that I'm home from.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I'm taking remy every day.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So these long days with these block sinuses, because the
last thing I can do is I've got a block
signus Mim?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Can you go and do? What's what I'm saying? So
you were in bed? No, I wasn't. I wasn't allowed
to be in bed. But was Mim in bed? Yes? Wow? Okay,
because I was going to che's the one who's pregnant.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well that's saying if you were as a far more
block than yours.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
So, Lynn, what's the treatment for this? Then? Like, like,
did do you get well?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
I think it's just having the baby and then all
those symptoms will good. So I think once the baby
comes out, your back pain will go and your sinus
will clear up. I think it's just having the baby.
It's got to do with the excitement and the anxiety
around having a new baby coming along as well.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This all makes sense, Lynn, This all makes sense quick one.
If I had to speed up the pregnancy, what's one
thing I could do tonight?
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Oh? Well, you could have sex.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I'm real, I've got it on record. That's phenomenal. Then,
thank you so much, Somture
