uh this is interesting about prolactin so this happens in brooding birds and it happens in humans they've done this a study published in the journal Nature which is our kind of Apex Journal showed that when the husbands of pregnant women because of something maybe a pheromone maybe some odor of the pregnant woman actually increases the man's prolactin when they're pregnant puts body weight on the guy starts laying down body fat presumably to prepare the father for the long sleepless nights ahead because humans have always co-parented wow we all know women do far more but it's just out there who get fat don't feel bad yeah so that's going on the dad bod is it's part due to an increase in prolactin and testosterone and prolactin are kind of working in opposite fashion
