So the last 3 months since my husband has been gone, I have lived with a woman who is expecting her second baby. She is about 33 weeks along and I have found that it is in fact true that there are sympathy pains! I wasn't so sure of the whole theory until today!
I've been around her 24/7 and we are very good friends.
She's pointed out that I have had some cravings, but I didn't really think much about it. I have been really craving lemonade and chocolate. No, not together, but nonetheless. ha.
Anyway, today, I was very very moody and I got extremely stressed out. All we did was go out with several ladies around lunch for several hours. They all had their children and we didn't really have a time schedule or anything to accomplish. While with them I just wanted to lay in the floor and give up. I was stressed! I don't know why, but I do know that I was ready to kick some butt. Whether it was the lady behind me in line who kept touching me and saying "sorry hun" or the old man moving so slowly in front of me pushing his shopping cart. It was insane.
Then, my husband calls. I'd been waiting an hour and a half longer then I do on a daily basis to hear from him. He knew something was up. I told him that I was picking up pregnancy sympathy hormones and I was stressed, so he mockingly/jokingly said he was stressed from the same thing. I snapped! I told him I wasn't in the mood for his BS. It was bad! Then, shortly after I apologized. He had been so good to me throughout the entire day, there was no reason for me to act that way. I knew I was wrong and felt horribly. :( He did accept my apology and I promised I'd be better the next time we talked. I was. :)
It was just insane to me that I could be picking up these hormones from no where. Well, I guess it's not "no where", but still! It's insane! I guess it could essentially be based on the same thing as hanging out with a bunch of women all the time and starting your period simultaneously.
So I had to share. Has any of you had the same thing happen? How about with your husband? Has he had sympathy pains through your pregnancy? I mean, I've never been pregnant, I've just had this experience and I wonder what it'll be like when I do get pregnant. :)

I hate that starting your period simultaneously. Being in high school and my group of girls all start its a mess. Then I come home in a bad mood it rubs off on him and its a big stink fest. Take a break girl get away fromt he horomones. Maybe you will feel better. : )
Oh girly I'm sorry! I do think its kind funny and I completely understand. I'm headed to live with my sister soon and between me, her, and her two girls, it should be fun :)
I am not pregnant but I am on the last stretch of my period and for no reason at all Christopher and I go pissed at each other. Later on we realized we were both out of line. Needless to say I feel part of your pain.
thank you for your comments!
