Week 12, Day 2:  I had some experiences over the past couple of weeks that I thought could be morning sickness.  One day I had nausea and I often have food cravings and fatigue.  I did some research and found out that men can actually experience a little morning sickness; it's called couvade.  This comes from the Carib Indian tribe, which held rituals so that fathers-to-be can understand what it feels like to be pregnant.  


Here is a synopsis of an episode from the TV series House, MD:  "A male clinic patient suffers from high estrogen levels that allow him to experience his wife's pregnancy - including morning sickness and labor pains in the “Skin Deep” episode of HOUSE."
