What are sympathy Pains?

Question

Lol sorry if that seems dumb, but i never knew what they were

Answer 1

I think it has to do with pregnancy? It's when the guy gets pregnancy symptoms like his wife. Throwing up, etc.

Answer 2

I had them with my wife's pregnancy. She wasn't ill at all. They stopped just before she miscarried.

Answer 3

When a woman is pregnant sometimes the husband will have some of the pregnancy symptoms like nausea, back pain, or food cravings etc.

It's not very common or if it is most men wouldn't admit it. lol

Answer 4

It is when the guy gets some kind of morning sickness when his wife or g.f. is pregnant :)

Answer 5

Its a bit like a female dog having a phantom pregnancy? I had one and hopefully only one period of sympathy pains! Internet friend fell pregnant in USA and off I went. Honest! Morning sickness, back pain, you name it, I had it. However the friend had no problems, not even morning sickness. When the day came for the C section, I took to the bed, I only found out later that I took to my bed at the exact time she went into Theater! I guess their is something in it, I have never had children, so why my body should react like this, do not ask me! Best of Luck

Answer 6

Sympathy pains is just a saying that means you sympathize with someone and the pain they are going through.  For example, you "feel" that person's pain.

p.s. there are no dumb questions :)
