In Central Java, Indonesia, some sections of society believe that the feeling of nausea, dizziness, and even pain during childbirth could be ‘transferred’ to the husband. How could this happened I have not get the reference, or perhaps no one has examined them. To be able to get the ‘effects’ which is expected some such women, there are requirements that must be done. Just simple course, is by stealing one magnolia flower decorative dagger into traditional outfit in Central Java that used by groom.
I can not fully trust this myth but I have found several people who have done it and managed to “escape” from the discomfort during pregnancy and childbirth. Some women find this ritual but deliberately do not do it because she felt pity and affection for husbands, while also feeling that it was his nature as a woman.
Which has been proven is the changing emotions during pregnancy not only the monopoly of the mother. Expectant father can have feelings that do not differ much when he learned his wife was pregnant. In fact, according to researcher Dr. Robert McCall, published in the Better Parenting magazine in 1994 stated that approximately 11-65% future father-like symptoms such pregnant women leg cramps, nausea, and even crave things that are not logged in will last. The symptoms are known as “Sympathetic Pregnancy Symptom” or expressions of anxiety on pregnancy husband and wife.
According to McCall, all of this started it all stems from feelings of anxiety experienced by the prospective father of the wife’s pregnancy. This condition sometimes clashed with the existing norms in society as he is expected to face tougher pregnant wife. Anxiety of the expectant father is in general associated with doubts himself whether the capability as a future father, worried about the physical condition of his wife and the fetus (will be healthy or not, have a genetic disease as hemophilia, thalassemia or not,defect, etc) , also sometimes there is a sense of anxiety will likely damage to relationships between husband and wife due to the new role that will be strapped.
If you experience this, it’s good to be overcome. Try expressing your anxiety when you are a husband, and if you are a wife help to express his concerns. It would be better if the husband and wife to share the feeling of openness so that will be reached that will allow you and your spouse to deal with the anxious and happy baby awaits.
Have a happy pregnancy!
