Yeah, if you're not sleeping as well as normal, they can pick up on that and not be as rested themselves, and it's perhaps keeping him in a dreamy kind of sleep instead of the zonked out deep sleep too. DH used to get kicked by the baby lol if I was leaning up against him.

I too have heard of sympathy symptoms.. some men get terrible morning sickness! I was hoping DH would have sympathy labour pains - but no such luck LOL.

I agree that the upcoming 'change' could affect his sleep too.

I hope you can both get some good sleep before the baby comes! All the best
