Couvade syndrome, also called sympathetic pregnancy, is a proposed condition in which a partner experiences some of the same symptoms and behavior of an expectant mother. These most often include minor weight gain, altered hormone levels, morning nausea, and disturbed sleep patterns. In more extreme cases, symptoms can include labor pains, postpartum depression, and nosebleeds. The labor pain symptom is commonly known as sympathy pain. Couvade syndrome is not a recognized medical condition. Its source is a matter of debate. Some believe it to be a psychosomatic condition, while others believe it may have biological causes relating to hormone changes.

Craniofacial syndromes are the result of the skull bones of a babyâs head not fusing together at the right time, or in the right way. This is dangerous, as the brain can become damaged if the skull does not allow the babyâs head to expand at the proper rate. This condition is known as craniosynostosis or craniostenosis. These conditions are usually not associated with developmental problems, but some may be inherited and associated with other developmental problems.
