Hi kkaw,

that is a very interesting question. I have actually heard about this before, and apparently it doesn't only occur with pregnancies. If a woman or a man are having an operation or are very ill, i've heard it is possible for their partner to start suffering similar symptoms. I guess it all depends how in touch which each other you are. It is a well known fact that twins have that happen quite a lot. If one twin is injured or killed, the other twin can possibly suffer some kind of similar pain at the same time. My mother is a twin, and about 7 years ago she started suffering a severe migraine headache and she kept saying she had to get in contact with her twin sister because something was wrong and yet my mother was no where near her sister at that time. We found out later that day that her twin sister had anaurysm that burst in her brain and she nearly died. So maybe that's why I do kind of believe that this kind of mental connection is possible with some people.
