crazy dreams!!
Have heard of having crazy dreams while pregnant, but is it usual to have vivid dreams once you've had the baby?! Mine are keeping me awake!
DD sleeps in her nursery now and for the past couple of weeks I wake once or twice in the night utterly convinced that I haven't put DD back into her cot after feeding her! Stupid thing is, she doesn't wake for feeding at all in the night so there is no reason for me to think she is out of her cot in the first place. The number of times I have woken up and searched my bed for DD, patted down the duvet to check shes not under it, looked under my pillows (why she'd be under my pillow, I don't know??!!), and even woken OH up to check he doesn't have her...!!! I then seem to wake properly and come to my senses and get back into bed again, only to question whether I should just go and check shes in the cot and not ran off anywhere!! I never do go and check cos I fall asleep again and lo and behold shes safetly there in the morning, while I'm knackered!
Last night I woke OH up to ask whether I had fed her before or after he had come home from work (he gets home between 4 and 6pm so of course I have fed her both before and after!). I was absolutely insisting on an answer and poor hubby's face...!
Anyone else have strange dreams now they have their baby?! xxx

I spoke to my doctor about it at my six week check up and she put it down to excess hormones!

I 'woke' up the other day looking for Emily under the pillows on the bed, hubby got a fright and thought he had lay on her as he didnt realise she was in the bed! - she was lying fast asleep in the crib next the bed! Another time i woke up at 2am and went to take Emily out of her crib to feed her, i had dreamt she had woken up! Hubby had to stop me!
I'm a crazy lady! haha!
I've always slept-walked and talked. I once took our duvet off the bed to go and save someone from 'drowning'! I would have walked out the front door with it if it hadn't been for OH stopping me!
My latest was dreaming that I'd set off in the car and I looked over and saw that I'd forgotten DD's seat so she was just sat on the passenger seat! She kept sliding off into the footwell and I was SO upset. Couldn't believe what I'd idiot I'd been to forget her carseat.
Was so glad to wake up.
As if it;s not bad enough that we get no sleep...without having horrible dreams when we do - what a swizz!!!

Don't know what I'd do if I ever found DD under my pillow one night!!!
