Speaker 1: My Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen

2
00:00:14,909 --> 00:00:19,589
Speaker 1: live on the Free I hard We've got potential science here, guys.

3
00:00:20,109 --> 00:00:22,789
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I'm not saying that I've taken

4
00:00:22,829 --> 00:00:25,948
Speaker 1: on many of my pregnant wife symptoms. But last week

5
00:00:25,989 --> 00:00:28,549
Speaker 1: we had the whole week together, excuse me, and I

6
00:00:28,589 --> 00:00:33,869
Speaker 1: had really congested sinuses through the whole week. Right, Mim

7
00:00:33,949 --> 00:00:37,668
Speaker 1: has been struggling with blocked sinuses all through pregnancy. There's

8
00:00:37,668 --> 00:00:40,309
Speaker 1: a thing called pregnancy ryan Idis, which means you're not

9
00:00:40,388 --> 00:00:42,309
Speaker 1: seeking out of a cold or flu. It is just

10
00:00:42,349 --> 00:00:45,869
Speaker 1: a symptom of pregnancy that your nasal cavity gets blocked, right.

11
00:00:45,909 --> 00:00:47,629
Speaker 1: And I was like, hang on a second, I've got

12
00:00:47,629 --> 00:00:49,508
Speaker 1: that now, exactly the same as you. And then all

13
00:00:49,509 --> 00:00:51,349
Speaker 1: of a sudden we both well, she was going to

14
00:00:51,349 --> 00:00:52,909
Speaker 1: the Cairo for lower back pain, and I was like,

15
00:00:52,949 --> 00:00:54,389
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind coming along, So I've got this back

16
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:55,989
Speaker 1: pain as well. And as we were describing it to

17
00:00:56,029 --> 00:00:57,789
Speaker 1: the Cairo, who were describing the same thing.

18
00:00:58,109 --> 00:01:02,309
Speaker 2: And I think you're an idiot, Helen, Geez, Helen, Helen,

19
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:05,669
Speaker 2: did you were you the partner of someone pregnant or

20
00:01:05,709 --> 00:01:08,229
Speaker 2: was your partner the one who experienced symptoms.

21
00:01:09,549 --> 00:01:12,989
Speaker 3: I was pregnant and my husband was having a hard time.

22
00:01:18,749 --> 00:01:21,869
Speaker 4: Really, because even if this does exist, there's a reason

23
00:01:22,309 --> 00:01:23,949
Speaker 4: the only women have called a dobbin there.

24
00:01:23,989 --> 00:01:24,669
Speaker 5: But Helen, were you?

25
00:01:24,989 --> 00:01:28,669
Speaker 4: Was there any sympathy from you?

26
00:01:28,669 --> 00:01:32,069
Speaker 3: No, because it meant that he cooked the meal. But

27
00:01:32,189 --> 00:01:34,669
Speaker 3: the trouble is when he cooked the meat, he couldn't

28
00:01:34,749 --> 00:01:36,989
Speaker 3: stand it and was, yeah, vomiting.

29
00:01:36,829 --> 00:01:38,988
Speaker 5: Oh he was. He was getting sick in the guns

30
00:01:39,029 --> 00:01:40,229
Speaker 5: like doing the vomiting.

31
00:01:40,549 --> 00:01:45,669
Speaker 3: Actually yeah, and he was really brendant the labor. But

32
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:46,909
Speaker 3: it was all right because.

33
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:50,909
Speaker 5: Had the tense machines dropped on.

34
00:01:50,989 --> 00:01:57,789
Speaker 4: Did here your partner's twenty five weeks pregnant?

35
00:01:58,669 --> 00:02:00,989
Speaker 6: Yeah, you feeling only twenty five weeks feeling it?

36
00:02:00,989 --> 00:02:02,309
Speaker 5: Big fell You're feeling it.

37
00:02:03,149 --> 00:02:03,429
Speaker 3: Yeah.

38
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:06,709
Speaker 6: She's actually got a high premises cravadom, so it's like

39
00:02:07,829 --> 00:02:11,629
Speaker 6: it's like an excessive morning sickness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

40
00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:14,629
Speaker 6: I'm noticing myself even this year, I've had an extremely

41
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,668
Speaker 6: bad cold and flu season at the same time that

42
00:02:16,749 --> 00:02:19,589
Speaker 6: she's been pregnant. I've been hospitalized myself with ivy fluids

43
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:20,389
Speaker 6: and things like that as well.

44
00:02:22,149 --> 00:02:23,788
Speaker 1: I want to make it very clear, Mark, because I'm

45
00:02:23,789 --> 00:02:25,228
Speaker 1: sure you're the same as me. We're not asking for

46
00:02:25,269 --> 00:02:26,948
Speaker 1: sympathy here. What we're going through is not as bad

47
00:02:26,989 --> 00:02:28,549
Speaker 1: as the woman who is pregnant. But I think it's

48
00:02:28,589 --> 00:02:32,109
Speaker 1: pretty interesting to go, is it actually possible that you

49
00:02:32,149 --> 00:02:35,029
Speaker 1: are taking on some of the symptoms? And I think

50
00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:37,948
Speaker 1: the right person to answer that question from a scientific

51
00:02:38,349 --> 00:02:39,549
Speaker 1: perspective will.

52
00:02:39,389 --> 00:02:41,229
Speaker 5: I know the way you're trying to make me look

53
00:02:41,349 --> 00:02:42,269
Speaker 5: are you're coming for me?

54
00:02:43,269 --> 00:02:45,869
Speaker 1: But we've got doctor Lynn Burmeister here, who is a

55
00:02:45,869 --> 00:02:48,789
Speaker 1: medical director and fertility specialist.

56
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:51,429
Speaker 5: Now, Lynn, is this a situation.

57
00:02:51,069 --> 00:02:53,389
Speaker 1: Of everyone have a big laugh at all the people

58
00:02:53,429 --> 00:02:55,349
Speaker 1: who have just called is no?

59
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:59,709
Speaker 7: In fact, you're correct. Woody effects about thirty to fifty

60
00:02:59,749 --> 00:03:03,828
Speaker 7: percent of expectant partners, and it's actually got a name.

61
00:03:03,869 --> 00:03:09,309
Speaker 7: It's called Kubard syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy. That means you're

62
00:03:09,309 --> 00:03:13,029
Speaker 7: feeling sympathetic to your partner being pregnant, and so you

63
00:03:13,069 --> 00:03:16,709
Speaker 7: start getting hormonal and emotional changes just like your partner.

64
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:19,109
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I cried during Top down maverage.

65
00:03:19,149 --> 00:03:21,309
Speaker 1: Here was the seventh time I've watched it, and I've

66
00:03:21,349 --> 00:03:24,029
Speaker 1: never cried in it. And that final scene where Tom

67
00:03:24,069 --> 00:03:25,749
Speaker 1: Cruise says to Miles, tell a good job.

68
00:03:25,869 --> 00:03:30,389
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you. Gone, yeah, so what.

69
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:33,149
Speaker 1: But so it's just because you're feeling sympathetic to your

70
00:03:33,149 --> 00:03:33,909
Speaker 1: pregnant partner.

71
00:03:33,949 --> 00:03:36,389
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's actually a nice thing. You've got deep

72
00:03:36,509 --> 00:03:39,989
Speaker 7: empathy and you've got a deep emotional connection with your

73
00:03:40,029 --> 00:03:44,349
Speaker 7: partner and what she's going through. It's associated with nausea, fatigue,

74
00:03:44,469 --> 00:03:50,829
Speaker 7: food cravings, even weight gain, low testosterone, backache, block sinuses.

75
00:03:51,349 --> 00:03:52,669
Speaker 5: Yeah, sign it the sinuses.

76
00:03:52,749 --> 00:03:54,949
Speaker 1: Yeah, look all my wit has gone up a little

77
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:56,349
Speaker 1: bit as well for bringing that up.

78
00:03:56,269 --> 00:04:01,789
Speaker 4: With it is actually a thing.

79
00:04:02,829 --> 00:04:06,269
Speaker 7: So thirty to fifty percent of partners suffered from it.

80
00:04:06,549 --> 00:04:10,629
Speaker 4: That is PHENOMENALLYNN Like I get it on the on

81
00:04:10,669 --> 00:04:13,709
Speaker 4: the emotional sense, I fully get that, and I can

82
00:04:13,749 --> 00:04:16,669
Speaker 4: even even with like back pain maybe there, I'm sure

83
00:04:16,669 --> 00:04:17,669
Speaker 4: there's perceived pain.

84
00:04:17,789 --> 00:04:20,149
Speaker 5: But what he has blocked sinuses.

85
00:04:21,748 --> 00:04:25,109
Speaker 7: We believe it's psychosomatic. So it's sort of like means

86
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:27,509
Speaker 7: the mind and the body are reacting in sync with

87
00:04:27,589 --> 00:04:30,029
Speaker 7: emotional changes to their partner being pregnant.

88
00:04:30,149 --> 00:04:33,589
Speaker 4: So what is producing mucus knowing that his partner is

89
00:04:33,589 --> 00:04:34,389
Speaker 4: also producing.

90
00:04:37,029 --> 00:04:39,188
Speaker 5: So we spent we had a week off work last week.

91
00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:41,428
Speaker 1: Will and I so I spent the entire week with

92
00:04:41,549 --> 00:04:43,909
Speaker 1: Mim last week and that's when all this really kicked up.

93
00:04:44,069 --> 00:04:45,269
Speaker 5: Does that make sense as well?

94
00:04:45,949 --> 00:04:49,308
Speaker 7: Yeah, because you're sort of being sympathetic towards her and

95
00:04:49,349 --> 00:04:52,069
Speaker 7: you're starting to get back pain like she's getting towards

96
00:04:52,069 --> 00:04:53,549
Speaker 7: the end of the pressure spent.

97
00:04:54,988 --> 00:04:57,909
Speaker 5: So is the solution that just can't help her? Now?

98
00:04:58,269 --> 00:04:59,869
Speaker 5: Maybe you need to go to You're going.

99
00:04:59,789 --> 00:05:01,909
Speaker 7: To look after her more than she looks after.

100
00:05:01,709 --> 00:05:05,909
Speaker 4: You, So can I ask you would?

101
00:05:05,988 --> 00:05:07,949
Speaker 5: So when with the sinus pain you're in bed for

102
00:05:07,949 --> 00:05:12,589
Speaker 5: three days? Is here? It was a tough week, a

103
00:05:12,669 --> 00:05:13,229
Speaker 5: toughic for you.

104
00:05:13,269 --> 00:05:15,709
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, no, because I was like it was

105
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:17,709
Speaker 1: the same rules for me that I'm home from.

106
00:05:17,789 --> 00:05:19,109
Speaker 5: I'm taking remy every day.

107
00:05:19,349 --> 00:05:21,949
Speaker 1: So these long days with these block sinuses, because the

108
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:23,748
Speaker 1: last thing I can do is I've got a block

109
00:05:23,789 --> 00:05:25,029
Speaker 1: signus Mim?

110
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:26,868
Speaker 5: Can you go and do? What's what I'm saying? So

111
00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:29,109
Speaker 5: you were in bed? No, I wasn't. I wasn't allowed

112
00:05:29,149 --> 00:05:32,829
Speaker 5: to be in bed. But was Mim in bed? Yes? Wow? Okay,

113
00:05:32,829 --> 00:05:34,549
Speaker 5: because I was going to che's the one who's pregnant.

114
00:05:34,549 --> 00:05:40,229
Speaker 2: Well that's saying if you were as a far more

115
00:05:40,309 --> 00:05:41,229
Speaker 2: block than yours.

116
00:05:41,389 --> 00:05:44,469
Speaker 5: So, Lynn, what's the treatment for this? Then? Like, like,

117
00:05:45,149 --> 00:05:45,869
Speaker 5: did do you get well?

118
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:47,789
Speaker 7: I think it's just having the baby and then all

119
00:05:47,829 --> 00:05:50,749
Speaker 7: those symptoms will good. So I think once the baby

120
00:05:50,789 --> 00:05:53,428
Speaker 7: comes out, your back pain will go and your sinus

121
00:05:53,469 --> 00:05:55,669
Speaker 7: will clear up. I think it's just having the baby.

122
00:05:55,709 --> 00:05:57,989
Speaker 7: It's got to do with the excitement and the anxiety

123
00:05:57,988 --> 00:06:00,149
Speaker 7: around having a new baby coming along as well.

124
00:06:00,909 --> 00:06:04,549
Speaker 1: This all makes sense, Lynn, This all makes sense quick one.

125
00:06:04,669 --> 00:06:06,549
Speaker 1: If I had to speed up the pregnancy, what's one

126
00:06:06,589 --> 00:06:07,429
Speaker 1: thing I could do tonight?

127
00:06:08,789 --> 00:06:10,748
Speaker 7: Oh? Well, you could have sex.

128
00:06:11,509 --> 00:06:13,709
Speaker 5: I'm real, I've got it on record. That's phenomenal. Then,

129
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:17,428
Speaker 5: thank you so much, Somture
