The Summer I Stopped Sacrificing Myself For The Others

My name is Allison Chapman. Ever since I found out I might be pregnant, my husband, Rocco Chapman, had developed couvade syndrome.

It was a condition in which a husband, overwhelmed by concern and anxiety over his wife's pregnancy, experienced morning sickness as she did.

My heart ached watching him vomit until he was dehydrated, but at the same time, I was thrilled by his sheer deep love for me.

Yet, when I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, the doctor told me I wasn't pregnant and said I was most likely having a miscarriage.
