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.
Things You'll Need. Mow your lawn to height of 2 1/2 inches. If you are mowing it shorter than this, it is likely to turn brown and take on a burnt appearance. Water the burnt spots and entire lawn with 1 inch of water weekly. If your lawn is littered with burnt spots, it may be caused by lack of water. In especially hot months it is necessary for the soil to be moist approximately 4 to 6 inches down. Replace permanently damaged burnt spots.
