Lastly, I was checking out pregnancy earlier today

(because one of my characters in the game is pregnant and I wanted to see when she'd start showing) and came across a new term: Couvade. It's basically when the father or other significant male in the picture starts having pregnancy-like symptoms. There's a debate over whether it's purely psychosomatic or if it's actually a physical 'nesting' response, with changes in hormones and bodily processes.

Cool. Okay, maybe not for the guy with morning sickness and nosebleeds, but isn't nature interesting?
