Weird question, but does anyone else hear their baby crying in their head?

[PumpkinZulu]

I hope this isn't too odd of a question...but does anyone else get this? Every night when I lie down to go to sleep, I hear DD screaming in my head. It can sometimes be quite difficult to shake. Do other people have this, and is it normal/ok? It can be a but distressing sometimes I find it really hard to switch off.

I would here phantom cries with DD, but it hasn't happened this time. I'd be more during the day when she was napping though. I'd swear she started screaming but I;d go check on her and she'd be sound asleep.

Yes, yes I did/ do. More so in the earlier days but on the odd occassion now too.

[TeniBear]

Yep, it's one of those sounds that just gets stuck in my head like a bad song

Yep, I hear it, too. It's weird because I have the baby monitor right next to me. DD is 8 months old, so I wonder when it's gonna stop!?

[Arimeh]

I hope its normal cos I've gotten it with all of mine... lol

And even on the rare occasion when they aren't all at home with me.. i swear I hear them arguing and whinging and fighting in my head too - oh the joy! LOL

Yes! Although more with dd than ds. In the early days I think it's your brain reminding you of their cries so you can identify it.

Are you feeling anxious at all? I used to get it when I felt anxious about getting things done before dd woke up.

[Tinks]

Yes, I had that too. Now I quite often hear them calling Muuum!

[sahbear]

Yep, I always hear it when I'm in the shower, I get out check, and he's perfectly fine, sound asleep or playing not making a noise.

[loulabelle]

I do all the time.

ANother yes here too, I often have to sit right up in bed and have a really good listen. I also have a fan running when I am trying to sleep so I think sometimes the white noise from the fan plays on my mind a bit x

[mad4e]

yep, and still do but mainly when im in the shower too, i think i here crying rush to get out of the shower to find DS playing with his toys and perfectly fine..

[KitFaerie]

Yep, all the time when I drift off to sleep. I even start unbuttoning my shirt, woken up a few times with the girls out!

I do too!!! When he is sleeping during the day and like Mad4e (just spent a few minutes trying to work out what your name meant!! lol) especially in the shower...

I identify with so much in this thread. I used to hear DS1 cry all the time even when he wasn't home.

Not so much with DS2 but I'm so busy now that maybe I don't notice it as much.

Things is, I cosleep so she's tight next to me. It's very weird. I am pretty stressed atm. Lol...even when they're sleeping there's no peace.

Big hugs, hun - it is exhausting, isn't it I used to hear phantom cries when I had DD1, ALL the time, in my sleep, when I was at the shops and mum was looking after her at home etc... arrg it did my head in! It's much worse when there are outside stresses impacting on your emotional wellbeing. Hang in there hun, I wish I had a magic solution to the adjustment to motherhood... but if it helps any, you're definitely not alone! xx
