This is my word of the YEAR. I've been working in Couvade everywhere I can since you first tweeted it.

I am so glad my husband had never heard of this when I gave birth. He’s a bit suggestible

I'm guessing the couvade ended here in the States when the sports bar was invented? The Dental Maven’s last blog post..Side Effects of Hewnt And Bewnt

I loved this. "Regardless, the couvade served to draw attention away from the laboring mother, and toward the proud dad" -- I'd say that about sums it up, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Give these poor dads some red carnations. They'll snap out of couvade damn fast. The Lawyer Mom’s last blog post..My TMI Moment with Dr. Phil

Thankfully my husband never suffered any of these symptoms, during those violent hormonal storms of pregnancy, I'm pretty sure seeing him in a state of sympathetic infirmity would have driven me to homicide with a blunt instrument. Why does it always have to be about them? mrsbear’s last blog post..What Were We Thinking? – Spin Cycle

SERIOUS research. Feel free to look at the Bibliography on the left. Or at the bottom of the post. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We will be adding to this list as the series progresses.

Ahhh, one of the many reasons I love my wife! Do you do research on these topics or is this just random knowledge you gained in college or life?? Just curious
