I did. Everything also sounded like his cry or maybe it was there was always a background sound of his cry. I always felt like background noise like the shower, tv or whatever was blocking out his cry and I would get anxious. I believe now it is part of the physical bond. Like that physical pang I get when at work and someone brings in a baby. I ache almost to have him with me then!
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
Yep, another one here who gets the phantom crying. On the odd occasion I've left him at home with DP or my sister has taken him for a little while, I swear I can hear him crying. When he had his sleepover with my sister (gotta love her!) recently, I woke up at 1.30am hearing him crying. Obviously, it was in my head, but when I asked my sister what time he woke during the night, sure enough, she said 1.30.
All mummies are a little bit psychic when it comes to their bubbys.
