I advised him to leave home,
and this proved effectual. I learned later that the woman
continued to gain flesh and be sick every morning until the
seventh month. Then menstruation returned, an examination was
made, and when sure that there was no possibility of her being
pregnant she began to lose flesh, and within a few months
regained her usual size."
Hamill reports an instance of morning-sickness in a husband two
weeks after the appearance of menstruation in the wife for the
last time. He had daily attacks, and it was not until the failure
of the next menses that the woman had any other sign of pregnancy
than her husband's nausea. His nausea continued for two months,
and was the same as that which he had suffered during his wife's
former pregnancies, although not until both he and his wife
became aware of the existence of pregnancy. The Lancet describes
a case in which the husband's nausea and vomiting, as well as
that of the wife, began and ended simultaneously. Judkins cites
an instance of a man who was sick in the morning while his wife
was carrying a child. This occurred during every pregnancy, and
the man related that his own father was similarly affected while
his mother was in the early months of pregnancy with him, showing
an hereditary predisposition.
