text: why do men almost die when they get the sniffles?? so, i do not understand how we woman can go through cramps, childbirth, and all that, but when a man has the sniffles, we need to get the coroner on the phone!! tell me please!! when i was pregnant my husband complained that he had morning sickness...when i had a yeast infection he was convinced that he had that problem.  i had natural child birth and i though he was going to pass out in the delivery room. poor baby :)
