Pregnancy Paranoia Posted: 05-08-06 12:18pm
When do we become so paranoid? Or is it
just me? It's really not an exaggeration
that I am conscious of what i'm
feeling/not feeling regarding the baby 99%
of my waking hours.
When there's any sort of pain (upset
stomach, cramps, soreness), there is a
little part of my mind that panics a bit
and starts thinking what might be
happening in there.
When I can't feel him moving, I get
nervous. And I worry about it until I
feel him move again.
I'm not stressed out all the time or
anything, I just can't stop thinking about
it. I know it won't go away... Like my
mom says, when you have a baby, you worry
for the rest of your life. Lol. I just
feel like such a dork. :p

Yes, I have to agree with sandra....It
gets tons worse once they are born. Last
night was the first night .Adriana slept
in her room, which is only on the other
side of the bathroom....And I had the baby
monitor set up (obviously!) but she's been
sleeping 12 hours a night, so I thought we
would try her out in her own room (mostly
so she can sleep w/o her daddy waking her
up when he gets ready for work) but I
didn't sleep well at all. It seemed I
woke up every half hour to go check on
her. It didn't help any that my hubby had
a terrible nightmare last night. He
seemed to be struggling in his sleep, and
when he does that I have to wake him up
right away because i'm afraid he might
choke or something (it's weird) so as soon
as I woke him up he was like "please go
check the baby" he seemed freaked out, so
I went in and she was sleeping peacefully.
Then he told me about the nightmare, that
someone was trying to take the baby, then
they turned to come and get him, some
woman he said. Eek

He used to, then it seemed throughout my
pregnancy I don't recall him having any,
but this was the first one since about mid
.June of last year. I hope they don't
start out again. He says they seem way
too real, and it scares me becuase
sometimes his eyes are open, but he can't
move and he tries to yell, but can't :(

It sounds more like night terrors to me
than nightmares he may need to see a
doctor because night terrors are treatable
with medication

Get him to a doctor about it... A mate
of mine had those - similar with the whole
like asleep but awake thing and the
paralysis and his turned out to be mild
seizures, not dangerous but just nasty
when you can't do anything about them.
He's on natural meds now so no drugs etc.
You should get it checked out...
Sometimes alex (mate) used to get them
just because he was worked up about the
possibility of getting them (if that makes
sense) he hasn't had any for ages now.

Oh, i'll have to tell him about this.
I used to have something like that happen
when I was younger. In the middle of the
night i'd wake up and couldn't scream or
move and it was hard to breathe. Hasn't
happened to me in quite some time tho. I
don't know if this is the same thing or
not.
