When a woman shows off her hard work, she often says, "I have a baby in October, and I have worked hard to give you a baby, but you don't know that you love me!" often this sentence makes men speechless and secretly feel guilty.
According to research, although men can't give birth to babies, men can feel all kinds of reactions of women during pregnancy.
Embarrassment
Wu Sanlang (not his real name) always thinks that although he is strict with his wife, he is still a pure man. After his wife is pregnant, he feels weak limbs, dizziness, nausea, and even often wants to vomit, and his reaction is synchronous with his wife. While feeling happy, his wife also laughs at Wu Sanlang from time to time, saying, "there is no baby in my stomach, so I'm making a fool of myself.". This makes Wu Sanlang want to cry without tears.
Couvade syndrome
"Couvade syndrome" means that fathers who should not have been pregnant also feel pregnant. Although the cause of the syndrome has not yet been determined, current studies have shown that hormonal changes are one of the causes.
Katherine, a Canadian physiology Professor, and ANN stoyle, a psychology professor at Queen University, analyzed the blood samples of 34 couples during pregnancy and after childbirth. The results showed that, three weeks before birth, prolactin levels in fathers increased by 30% and cortisol doubled. When the two hormones were on the rise, one hormone, testosterone, decreased. A few weeks after the baby was born, the father's testosterone decreased by 33%. As testosterone is the sex hormone of men, it is aggressive, and its reduction makes domestic violence decline, sexual desire will also decrease, and its protective effect on mother and son will be enhanced.
Expert opinion
'symptoms due to psychological reasons'
Men are pregnant and vomiting because they care about their wives
Generally speaking, it is very rare for men to have pregnancy reaction, but this does not mean that there is no such situation. I think the symptoms are caused by psychological reasons. 'said Yao Li, director of gynecology at Zhengzhou people's hospital.
As the saying goes, care is chaos. When a man learns that his wife is pregnant, he will also make a series of psychological adjustments. He will carefully observe the changes of his wife every day and search for a lot of information on the Internet. After his wife has nausea, vomiting and other pregnancy reactions, the man may also have corresponding reactions due to his nervousness and frequent "hearing and hearing".
Yao Li mentioned that men's reaction is closely related to his wife's reaction in degree and time. When his wife feels bad, he feels bad, and when his wife is good, he has no symptoms; when his wife reacts greatly, he also reacts violently; when his wife reacts little, he has no problem.
Therefore, men's reaction during pregnancy is due to care for his wife, psychological changes, resulting in physical symptoms.
Changes of hormone caused by psychological reasons
Of course, modern medicine believes that people's psychological changes are closely related to changes in the body. People's psychological activities are not rootless trees and water without a source. They are not only affected by people's education, growth, living environment, but also directly affected by physical functions. Hormone is an important factor affecting psychology.
Yao Li believes that after the wife is pregnant, due to the role of psychological reasons, the secretion of some hormones related to the production of love will increase in men's body, which makes men begin to prepare to be a father.
For example, both men and women have a hormone called oxytocin. High levels of oxytocin in the body will show more love for children. Studies have shown that men's levels of this hormone rise after their wives become pregnant.
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide, it is also the driving force of hugging people, so it is also known as the 'hugging chemical'. It can be seen that the increase in the secretion of this hormone is also to enable men to cuddle their children more and to be more intimate with them.
Therefore, if it is said that delivery syndrome is also a kind of disease, then it is undoubtedly a very warm disease. The father to be with this disease is very happy.
