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. :)
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!?
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.
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.
Yes, I had that too. Now I quite often hear them calling Muuum!
I did, when DD was much younger though.
yes, I did, still do...
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
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..
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...
:rofl::
Happens to me too. And happened alot when she was real young id hear her cry just before she'd actually start crying. So id always wake 2-3 mins before her, my mum said she was like that too with us kids.
i had this alot with DD1, a bit less this time but occasionally. it is so freaky lol!
How funny is this thread - I'm kind of relieved to know I'm not the only one, seems to be quite normal really :)
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!
Yep, here and there.
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
I don't but when I was working, I used to hear the phone ring when I got home.
Yes. I hate it.
Yep sure do, it's very strange!! I do the same thing in the car with sirens, think I hear them and check my mirror for a cop or ambo and nothing.
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. :o
All mummies are a little bit psychic when it comes to their bubbys.
Yes Forshelby...there is alot more to this mother child bond than we think!
Yep, I get them when the kids aren't home and have to remind myself that it couldn't possibly be them as they're not in the house. It's pretty normal.
