Lol welcome to mother hood hun your worrying has only just begun it gets no easier once bubs is born but it is just part of the job description we worry when they are quiet we worry when they scream even if it just to get our attention so no it isn't paranoia it is motherhood

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

That's weird! Does he get those a lot?

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.
